"I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope." THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1994) One of my favourite movies (might not be ‘cool’ to say it is but cool can go do one) opened 30yrs ago today.

Professor Lucy Easthope I also think it’s very important to reflect on the manner of the reporting and on what it is encouraging readers to focus because there are important implications for how disabled people’s lives are valued. I think the true horror of it is broader than some people acknowledge?

Professor Lucy Easthope I can only hope the inquest and any serious case review is covered widely in the press so that Eleni and Martina's lives matter. Until then we can't assume details, as strongly as those of us with disabled children feel we know what happened.

"Gisèle Pelicot tells mass rape trial ‘it’s not for us to have shame – it’s for them’". I genuinely think that single-handedly, this woman has done more for us than all men put together in history. She's stood up & made MEN confront and watch THEIR rapes. She's a fucking SAINT.

44% decline in LD Nursing. Routes into the profession are the most limited of all 4 Ns programs. Strategies to make learning disability nurse training accessible and affordable must be prioritised to #PreventAvoidableDeaths #ChooseLDNursing Wes Streeting theguardian.com/society/2024/o…

With a pay rise for 3 million workers, fuel duty frozen and a cash boost for the NHS and schools, this Labour #Budget2024 makes sure work pays as we fix the foundations of our economy and our public services.

Absolutely have to call-out Isobel Oakeshott. To say benefit claimants are 'parasites', sit on the sofa, drive their 'free motability' is completely outrageous. At Scope we call out ableism. Call out discrimination. And to not let language like this go unchecked. Shame.
