Thanks so much to Sam Smethers for this lovely piece on #Crippled for Fawcett Society. I really hope the book reaches feminists who haven’t thought much about disability rights before. (“Disability is a feminist issue!” she cries, endlessly.) fawcettsociety.org.uk/blog/crippled-…

I’m due on Jeremy Vine | Here, on Tiktok, Insta & Facebook show on BBC Radio 2 around 1pm to talk about #Crippled and the PIP assessment system. I’m told there’ll be a phone-in so tune in if you want to share your experience of the disability benefits system. (Or tweet along if you’re not comfortable calling.)

A General Election is coming – and the left can mobilise marginalised people to get Boris Johnson out. Let’s get ready to win. ✊ >> My col. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The Tories' flagship policy has caused poverty, misery and even deaths. In government, Labour will scrap Universal Credit. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

One year ago we highlighted the devastating impact Universal Credit was having on people's lives. The Tories have refused to fix it. So today we've announced we'll scrap it.

Please sign and share this. It is vital that we get an inquiry into the treatment of EDS patients. Too many of us are being left to suffer without treatment. #EDS #ehlersdanlossyndrome #Spoonies #UK #Zebra #POTS #MCAS #CCI #Gastroparesis #Endo #CFS petition.parliament.uk/petitions/2752…

I wrote about how removing the free TV licence from over 75s is a particularly cruel Tory cut - and we should make the case for expanding it to isolated younger disabled people. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

A few years ago, I reported on ‘clothes banks.’ It went viral as people were outraged: “I’ve heard of food banks. But clothes?” Now, it’s normal to talk about ‘baby banks’, mums so poor they can’t buy nappies. It’s a lesson: when hardship is normalised, it gets worse. #VoteLabour

"We try not to eat a lot in one day, even though most of us are really hungry." This sentence should never be uttered by any child, let alone one living in the 5th richest country in the world. Make no mistake, the Tories are responsible for this.

So nice to see CRIPPLED named by the The Independent as one of its ‘Best Books’ for #InternationalWomensDay2020 - right next to Greta Thunberg. What amazing company. independent.co.uk/extras/indybes…

Just to clarify, we don't think that #EDS alone puts you into a high-risk group. We think #MCAS might though, and in my experience, many people who have #hEDS/#HSD have undiagnosed #MCAS. We may suffer a more extreme immune response aka #sepsis. Take care everyone!

A year ago today I had my spinal fusion. We named the surgical scar on my neck Scarlett. I woke up this morning to a first birthday party for Scarlett, planned by Oscar Vinter and our family. ❤❤❤ This blog was written after my surgery. chance4charlie.com/post/post-oper…

Love a new tax on disability! Keen to hear proposals to pay £5 to use a ramp and sign over my first born for an accessible taxi. theguardian.com/business/2020/…

This is Emily, she is in a similar position to where I was a couple of years ago. Although she is going through this during a Pandemic. Please share this fundraiser or help in anyway you can. #EDS #CCI #Spoonies #Zebra #Fusion #POTS #Hypermobility gf.me/u/ymq2kc

Devastated to learn that Professor Sir John Hills FBA has died. He was so important to social policy analysis - especially housing, taxation, inequality, poverty and fuel. Too young and too valuable. Final straw.

I’ve had people decline the Covid vaccine because someone they know felt unwell after theirs It’s ENTIRELY normal to get a temp, headache, sore arm or feel a bit run down after the vaccine: it’s your immune system responding well to it It’s SO MUCH better than getting Covid

Please can everyone share this. We would like to find the Anaesthetist who helped my father-in-law to thank him. #Devon #ActOfKindness #SouthWestCoastalPath #Maidencombe #Devon #Exeter #Teignmouth
