Tonight’s haunting scenes at Clapham Common show why we must oppose the expansion of police powers and crackdown on the right to protest that Priti Patel is rushing through Parliament on Monday. #PoliceCrackdownBill

Was great to be a part of this, I'm really excited for the Anthology to be released!

. Hollie McNish is seriously great. I saw her years ago in Cambridge and her online stuff recently has been so welcome during lock down. Well worth paying for! Go watch it if you can

Great stuff as ever from @montygristo

Options options options- Customisation is such a foundational part of access!

Watching #GAconf and Vivek Gohil ⚡️ smashing his talk about access - 'when you are a disabled gamer, you must think outside the box when your abilities are within the box' - maybe why as disabled gamers we're so creative!

"With great accessibility comes great inclusivity" Man I love that!

#GAconf ends. My body is drained (can't imagine how Tara and Ian do it!). Mentally pumped. All the talks were great in different ways and all highlighted the importance of #accessibility. All had some "I can relate" moment. Happy of attending, honored of being staff. Thank you!❤️

This was amazing! #GAconf was a blast, learned so much, met so many cool people, and am super excited to see the developments and progress going forward. A great couple of days

📢 The #HLAdultSocialCare Cttee's report is now live. It found that the continued #invisibility of #SocialCare dramatically impacts the lives of disabled adults, older people and unpaid carers. This is unfair and unsustainable, and needs to change. ⬇️ Watch our explainer video:

Today we strongly welcome “A Gloriously Ordinary Life” committees.parliament.uk/publications/3… from House of Lords Adult Social Care Committee which says: “The govt must put in place, with people who work in & draw on adult social care a national long term plan..exemplifying the vision set out by Social Care Future” 1/

The #HLAdultSocialCare report has been released today. Having been a witness for the committee and seeing how lived experience was valued and listened to, and now after reading the report, I am hopeful that this can be the start of meaningful change and progress

Here I am, sharing some thoughts on the committee process and the final report. Let's use this moment and momentum to get social care transformed into something that let's us live, as Tricia Nicoll so aptly puts, 'gloriously ordinary lives'

This report highlights the need for genuine co-production with Disabled people, not just our doctors, teachers and carers. Big changes are needed to give us a dignified and full life - thanks to the Disabled people who spoke up for this report.

I was really pleased to be a special adviser as a person with lived experience to this committee alongside Jon Glasby. The voice of people with lived experience was really listened to throughout & I think a powerful example that things can be done differently.

"After seeing such a positive document, I hope that this is the start of change. I hope to see more research, consultations and input that values and absorb the contributions from people with lived experience", says Andy about our new report. More below ⬇️
