Rishi is right about one thing, our disability benefit system isn’t working how it should be. It’s failing disabled on every single level and now he wants to make it tougher.

I’ll be on Jeremy Vine On 5 Vine talking about this tomorrow from around 9.30am.

No.

Here’s a room full of disabled people doing the most.

This ‘sick note culture’ conversation is a tactic for the Tories to win more votes. It’s a harmful rhetoric at the expense of disabled people.

Also hope there are disabled people on the Question Time panel. #BBCQT

Here we go... My TEDxKingston talk is up... Please please take a look.
It's about my MS and disability, but the core message is kindness.
The courage to be kind.

The £100 million Work and Health Programme, to help Disabled people get into work, will be scrapped

Today the PM issued some cold and borderline inhuman rhetoric on benefit reforms.
Again he wants to make life harder for Disabled and vulnerable people after announcing a 'chilling' set of reforms to force people back to work.
This persecution has to end.

THIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS! Incredible effort by every one involved.

Quick answer from me to this survey:

I’m burnt out, totally and utterly burnt out. Completely mentally destroyed. Activism is wiping us out.

As a “working class leftie,” I can tell Wes that lining the pockets of private health firms isn’t just ideologically flawed - it’s inefficient too. Many private staff are NHS moonlighters. Some even share facilities. Fund the NHS, not big business. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Having come out last year, I've really seen how complex, difficult, brilliant and overlooked disabled queer experiences can be

So many of us exist at the intersection - and we deserve to be celebrated! Sooo *drumroll please*...

VILE.

“Completely mangled” - disgusting.

This is not a debate.

Disabled women deserve respect, we don’t care if you’d still date us or not because we wouldn’t be with scum like this.

Our lives, our health & our autonomy are not for your entertainment.
