NEW BLOG POST: NEW Flexible Working Law

'It can also help employers, as firstly employers who offer flexible working are seen as more attractive. Secondly, their employees will likely be more productive if it works for them.'

This is fantastic news

NEW BLOG POST: New Flexible Working Law

In April the new Flexible Working Law came into place. This has the potential to make a big difference to many, especially disabled people, carers and women.

Mel Stride today said the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is 'thousands of pounds a month'

This is the sort of bare faced lie continually peddled by fabricating politicians in order to whip up hatred towards Disabled people.

Call it out journalists!! It’s your job!!!

I'm on the Guardian Politics Podcast talking about PIP and Benefits reform. (From 19 mins)

PIP is the thing that physically enables me to get to work as I lease my WAV via the Motability Operations scheme.

A pleasure to speak with John Harris & Tom Pollard on the Guardian politics podcast.

We discuss the government's latest attack on disabled people, PIP, the 'sicknote culture' and more.

For those interested in podcasts Politics Weekly UK devotes the second half of their show to 'sicknote culture wars' with Hannah Deakin and Tom Pollard. It doesn't mention the UN report but it does discuss Sunak's 'moral mission' last week.

Good to talk with John Harris & Hannah Deakin on this week's Guardian politics podcast about the government attack on 'sicknote culture'

We discussed the policies & politics, but also Hannah's lived experience & my perspective from NHS mental health work theguardian.com/politics/audio…

To do our bit for the kind of political journalism that involves the gap between speeches/posturing & real lives, half of tomorrow's Politics Weekly UK goes deep into the govt's latest attack on disabled people, with Hannah Deakin & Tom Pollard. Up at 5am!

Check out my clip on Channel 4 News on the government's aim to victimise disabled people alongside James Taylor Scope

#RishiSunak Saying benefits are a 'lifestyle' choice is an insult.

I should be on the Channel 4 News at 7pm news talking about the government's shocking announcements towards disabled people today.

What is it that #RishiSunak has against disabled people & carers? Most disabled people were not born with their disability & disability can strike anyone, at anytime. Nobody is protected. This will push more disabled people into poverty and feels like survival of the fittest.

It was great to speak to around 70 ladies at Burhill Golf Club on Tuesday, sharing my story, talking about the great work of White Lodge and raising awareness and understanding of disability. Thank you to the ladies captain, Debbie for choosing to support White Lodge this year.

This is the kind of thing we want to stop here at Ax-ess. We need to all come together and start sharing the names and places so we can educate them in helping the disabled and making these places more inclusive to all!! #axess #disabledaxess

This is not accessible!
There are two issues:

1. I can't lift the tape high enough and hold it while I drive my powerchair through on my own.
2. It says 'authorised access only' and the accessible entrance with ramp is behind there.

Please be inclusive to all👩‍🦼🧑‍🦽

It was great to speak at the Surrey Coalition of Disabled People DENS meeting 1.5 weeks ago. Speaking about my blog Hannah's Hope & how to set up a blog.

I have put my tips down in a blog in case it is helpful to others.👇

This is just TOTALLY unacceptable. What is it teaching the children?
Isolate and exclude SEN and disabled children more.
So upset to read this for parents and children involved.
And the fact this is happening on 2024.
