Today it was great to join the first meeting of Zoë Garbett London Rent Commission at City Hall on behalf of Inclusion London to discuss why we need rent controls in London and how we can design the best system of rent control.

They’ll make you wait a year for a wheelchair, but help you kill yourself within 2 weeks. (… and it’ll probably be due to the misery of not having basic mobility and medical equipment.) That’s the reality of legalizing Assisted Dying.

I have never once, in my 45 years of living, been harassed in a bathroom by a trans female. However, I have been harassed by a man walking down the street minding my own business many, many, many, many times. Gender neutral bathrooms aren't the problem.

🚨DR UK's Statement on Passing of Assisted Dying Bill We stand firmly against a law that risks pressuring Disabled people into decisions driven by lack of options rather than genuine choice. This bill could reinforce the narrative that Disabled people’s lives are less valuable.

Diane Abbott: "We're moving to a situation where it will be cheaper for a GP to get a very ill person to sign on the dotted line for assisted suicide than to find them a place in a hospice" Spot on. Its the naivety of people like Hugh thats going to take us there #bbclaurak

Zoë Garbett Laura Vicinanza Abbi Brown Adam Gabsi ♿️ Anna Landre ♿️ Touretteshero Dr. Abi O'Connor NEF Medact Cal from Medact: "But I've also seen people thrive, heal, enjoy life in homes that are safe, affordable, accessible, and comfortable. From the inception of the NHS, this was something that was known, like 75 years ago this was something that was known." #BarriersAtHome

Rents in the PRS are skyrocketing in London. Finding a home that is affordable & accessible in the PRS is almost impossible. Great to see Zoë Garbett new report on rent control, reflecting the housing experiences of Disabled private renters like Abbi Brown. Inclusion London

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps. This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. We are witnessing

Most claimed PIP conditions. Oh look you can't fake any of them.

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message : “If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18

While many knew Hossam as a fearless journalist, there was so much more to him. He was a young man with dreams, with a sense of humor, and a heart full of life. He loved dressing well, even in the middle of chaos, once joking: “What if I run into a cute girl while reporting? I

Just to be clear PIP is not an out of work benefit. It is fundamental to understand the absolute basics when we reform the welfare system
