Fingers and toes and everything crossed! 'The government has a working majority of 165 in the Commons, meaning that 83 Labour MPs would need to oppose the bill to force a parliamentary defeat.' bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

1/12 Despite the rain yesterday, disabled people and allies turned out to lobby the Senedd, demanding an end to benefit cuts that perpetuate our marginalisation.

2/12 We made it clear to political candidates standing next year in the Senedd elections: support for disabled people in 2026 must go beyond tokenism and words, it must mean real action for rights, resources, and inclusion.

📣 #DisabilityPrideMonth

This isn’t just history.
It’s lived trauma.

Romans threw us off cliffs.
Tudors hid us.
Victorians locked us away.
Nazis murdered us.
Now? We’re cut from care,  PIP &amp; punished for existing.

We’ve always fought back.
We’re not done.
