Whatever people’s views about the concessions, surely everyone can see the process here is ALL wrong? Third Reading in eight days? A timetable like that diminishes the role of MPs in getting this legislation right, shuts out disabled people and puts too many at risk.

Just listened to 💙Rachael Maskell MP make such a powerful, moving and heartfelt defence of the sick and disabled in the chamber. She really is the best of us. The bill must be postponed till genuine co-production with disabled groups can take place The Labour Party is better than this

I honestly don't think many of these MPs have the most basic grasp of the welfare system. Time and again they refer to PIP as if it is an "out of work" benefit. The #WelfareReformBill is being voted on by people who have no understanding of what it means. It's terrifying.

Desperate government offers further concession to get its welfare cuts bill over the line bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckg3… a review of PIP points rules will now precede changes which mean new claimants need to be more severely disabled than current ones

Dear MPs, We’re headed towards the vote. Disabled people are watching which lobby you go through. We won’t forget and we won’t let you forget either. Vote wisely. #KillTheChaoticBill

One thing that needs to be excised from public discourse is the received wisdom that 'welfare reform is necessary'. The welfare bill is not 'ballooning', it's been between 10-12% of gdp for 30 odd years. We have one of the most miserly welfare states in Europe.

“You stopped us harming people with disabilities, so we’ll hurt children” is not a line that shows any learning from the debacle.

But the concessions don’t go far enough. Problems remaining: 1. £2 billion cut to UC health element hitting 750,000 new claimants 2. Questions about how meaningful "co-production" of the PIP review will be 3. Unclear if MPs will be able to amend and vote on the PIP review 4/7

At #ACY25 Simon Lightwood MP tells delegates small interventions can make a big difference to people. The Council should take note that less than 200 yards from the conference centre the dropped kerb is blocked by an overgrown hedge. But disabled people don’t matter, do we ⁉️

Dr Jay Watts The IAPT + employment support programme that they tried ended up with fewer of the in-work-but-struggling group still in work after the support. The report authors noted that work can be negative, and that keeping someone in work may be at the expense of health and wellbeing.

Theo Bertram The problem is a clear narrative to construct round government actions - has been drowned by failed & wrong-headed attempts to cut social security. Last 3 weeks has had an NHS 10 year plan, defence spending announcement, £100bn of infra spend, an industrial strategy. All lost.

#ACY25 While you were talking the talk, this wheelchair user was ‘active travelling’ to go shopping. Except pavements were impassable & no ramps provided. Had to get out of ♿️, shove it off the footpath with my one good arm to continue on road. Dangerous. #TakingTheDis

The “horrific” target-driven system used to decide people’s disability benefits must end, former assessors have warned. msn.com/en-gb/health/o…

Er, Kemi, of the many problems in your statement—“end automatic ‘severe condition’ status for low-level mental health issues like anxiety and ADHD”—there is no such thing. This is made up. If you want to look tough, perhaps focus on getting rid of things that actually exist.

We didn’t “go back to normal.” We just normalized mass disability, mass gaslighting, and mass graves.

Remember this 👇 Now settled out of court. Retrofitting to remove wire racks, lower cabinet handles & door treatments completed. Sometimes disabled people do win the David versus Goliath fights. But first you have to get in the fight for access to win it. ✊

Salisbury Hospital I just wanted to put on record my thanks to all the staff who are treating my son's partner. From A&E, Amesbury, ICU and Chilmark you have all shown kindness and professionalism during some very challenging situations. Thank you
