Great to get support from Labour’s John McDonnell yesterday for DPAC’s Call To Action at Parliament Square, London. We have specific asks and solutions which remind the government of the dignity, rights and worth of disabled people. #DemandPeopleDemand My Way Access

Late to the party, but here’s my #CPAD2024 photo at IKEA Belfast tonight. Changing Places UK means shopping isn’t cut short because of needing the loo and dehydration is avoided. Both pretty essential.

On Thursday we joined DPAC, Disabled people and our organisations from across the UK for #DisabledPeopleDemand. It's time for the new government to commit to working with Disabled people to give us our full rights. Read about the demands: buff.ly/3SaSXoX

My W/C being too big; Dehydrating myself to fly; Answering the same questions repeatedly even though I’ve emailed the info; That feeling of putting my trust wholly in someone else; That feeling of fear... It’s too familiar! #RightsOnFlights Rights Flights sophie morgan #Channel4

Some really upsetting examples of the dehumanising treatment disabled people face when flying shown on #FightToFly It does a brilliant job of showing how systemic ableism takes place, and why change and policy must be driven by and with the people they impact. Bravo sophie morgan

Helping (some) disabled people into work is not a bad aim per se, but will be punitive if done without first addressing the underlying disadvantages disabled people face that keep us out of work. A thread of things it would be much better for The Labour Party to focus on:

The problem isn't being the parent of a disabled child.  The child isn't the problem. The disability isn't the problem. The problem is a system that makes it impossible for parents to get their kids the support & resources they need. hollandbloorview.ca/stories-news-e…

Good luck to Team Ireland at Paralympic Games in Paris. However, a lot of deaf and disabled people will be following this account closely. I'm telling you to use #AltText to make your posts accessible for all. #Paralympics2024
