Hate crime against Disabled people is on the rise, urged on by media and politicians who promote false narratives about us. We need change, starting with an end to the scapegoating of Disabled people. #NationalHCAW #NationalHateCrimeAwarenessWeek buff.ly/gO6I8Yg

In local elections up and down the country, the Liberal Democrats are winning week-in, week-out.

My wife and I are grateful to Health Secretary Wes Streeting for reaching out after we shared our story of baby loss. It should be recognised that he was sat in the chamber until midnight for that debate, listening to every story. I have enormous respect for him for that.

Access to Work is a vital scheme that enables thousands of Disabled people to work. However, it's currently under serious threat. Delays & lack of funding are pushing people out of work. Write to your MP today & urge them to protect Access to Work. buff.ly/LfJeRZI

Many terminally-ill people would feel “duress” and “pressure” to choose an assisted suicide if it is legalised, because of the lack of funding for the NHS, palliative care and social care services, a disabled activist has told MPs and peers. disabilitynewsservice.com/health-and-car…

Delays and cuts to Access to Work support are pushing Disabled people out of their jobs. We need to speak out and tell MPs that cuts aren't the way to help people into work. Let's keep Disabled people in the picture. Contact your MP: buff.ly/x2PsH04

The Lib Dem group in the Lords is devastated this evening following the death of our own Jim Wallace. Jim was a towering figure in Scottish and UK politics and will be deeply missed by all of us who were lucky enough to know him and work with him. Salutes, Jim. Rest well.

So many disabled Londoners & carers are struggling right now. We desperately need a better, kinder welfare system. But what does that look like? Great to join up with Emma Best AM Trust for London & the Disability Policy Centre to gather evidence about what reforms we need to see!

We all know the challenges surrounding making stations step-free, but it's clear that TfL is not making the needs of Disabled Londoners a priority. We need ambitious action, especially with the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street just around the corner.

I love London. And it’s my job to make it better for all of us which is why this week I challenged the Mayor and the administration on affordable housing, air pollution and accessibility. London needs to be a city for everyone, to grow, thrive and succeed in!
