I used to be so vocal on this issue & applaud Liz "blue tick" Carr for continuing to battle to get the voices & concerns of many disabled people heard. We're not pro-suffering, we're anti rushing ahead without thinking. How often have you been told you'd be better off dead?

🚨BREAKING

Alongside 25 Disabled Peoples Organisations, activists, anti-racism organisations, & migrant rights groups, we have written to the Prime Minister to condemn the recent onslaught of attacks from the Government on Disabled People's rights.

#PIP

The government seem to think Disabled people can easily fit into work, people shielding or unable to access the workplace

On the government find a job site (which has 129,000 jobs on it) only 0.51 PERCENT are remote working & only 2.75 PERCENT are hybrid

‘The statistics — and the deaths — don’t lie. For disabled people under the Tories, life has become nasty, brutish, and short; much like Rishi himself.’

so pleased to have my latest piece on the PIP crackdown up for ⁦@TheChronicCollaboration⁩’s launch! thechroniccollaboration.com/tories-disable…

As someone who receives PIP and has a job as a journalist, I would very much like to know why the Labour Party is going round the media perpetuating the myth PIP is an out of work benefit. Does Reeves know it’s not? Or does she not actually care?

#ThunderStorms weird to see this much lightning without thunder- it’s sort of rumbling in but not really.. Video description is a landscape shot of clouds and lightning with some trees visible in the bottom right portion of the screen.

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

Meanwhile the PM orders Disabled and vulnerable people into work by cutting benefits

This Government has failed Disabled people

theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

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.
theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

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

🎙️Journo call out!

Have you been charged more when booking a holiday because of reasonable adjustments you need as a Disabled person?
