My parents taught me that whilst I don’t have a choice about my disability, I do have a choice about how I respond to it and turn it into a positive.
To celebrate Disability Pride Month, it was wonderful to bring together our limb loss and limb difference community in Parliament

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
We are committed to breaking down the barriers to inclusion and access for disabled people so all can lead happy, healthy and productive lives.
Today we celebrate the International Day of Disabled Persons — a reminder that inclusion and equality must guide every part of life. “Nothing about us without us” is more than a slogan — it’s a commitment to genuine consultation and full inclusion of Disabled people, because we know our lives best. Let’s uphold the principle that we are all born free and equal in dignity and rights. #IDPD ♿💜

A vote for anyone but Labour risks more chaos under Farage and the Tories.
The only way working people can secure change in your community is by voting Labour on Thursday 1 May.
ALT Graphic with a red background and white bold text reading 'Only Labour can beat Farage and the Tories. Don’t help them by mistake.' Below is a bar chart showing Labour and Reform neck and neck, both ahead of the Conservatives, with Lib Dems and Greens far behind. A handwritten note says 'Voting Lib-Dem or Green risks more chaos with Farage’s party and the Conservatives.' At the bottom, it says 'Vote Labour Thursday 1 May'."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is misleading and misrepresents how elections work in the UK.
Under the UK’s first past the post electoral system every local election and by-election is different, and the party best placed to stop the Tories and Reform will differ from seat to seat.

Introducing our Hucknall Labour candidates for the upcoming County Council election 🌹🗳
Thank you, Michelle, for raising this issue. Poor phone signal affects many of us in Hucknall West, regardless of provider. It’s great to hear the Government is taking action to improve the situation, and we hope for positive change soon.
