Perhaps unsurprisingly - this isn't getting the traction it deserves. Please help by retweeting if you care about learning lessons from the appalling mismanagement of the COVID19 epidemic in the UK. We had FIVE TIMES the death rate of East Asian countries.

This is a brilliant, enraging piece on the nightmare of wheelchair services Nondisabled people tend to think we get the wheelchairs we need for free. The reality is many of us are forced to spend thousands just to be able to leave the house theguardian.com/world/2025/dec…

People are upset by disabled people they believe to be abusing the benefits system. But they are nothing compared to these insulation contractors paid hundreds of millions (paid through our fuel bills) for botched work that now needs more millions to undo bit.ly/4rDjg7D

Just 4 are part time which many disabled people need. But all of them are specialist jobs requiring certain qualifications/ experience

Disabled people don’t need to “inspire” anyone to deserve respect. We deserve accessibility, representation, and joy — every single day.

The Barriers You Don’t See aren’t imaginary. They’re built into systems, services, and expectations and disabled people hit them every day. Before we talk about “fixing disability,” we need to talk about The Barriers You Don’t See. The Barriers You Don’t See are the ones people

FACT CHECK: Kemi Badenoch said "we are spending ALL our money on welfare". Welfare represents around 24% of Government expenditure. If you exclude the State Pension that drops to around 12%. Did Nick Robinson correct her? Don't be silly! #r4today BBC Radio 4 Today

Myths & Legends of Disability: That we’re “inspirational” for existing. That barriers are personal, not structural. That asking for access is asking for extra. That disability is a tragedy instead of a culture, a community, a way of living. These myths shape policy,

There’s a loneliness in the middle ground, being “too well for help, too unwell to cope.” You’re told you don’t meet the threshold. You’re told to “manage a bit longer.” You’re told others have it worse. Meanwhile, you’re rationing energy, skipping meals, cancelling plans,

Fatigue budgeting isn’t laziness. It’s survival. Disabled people plan every day around limited energy: one task means another has to wait, a shower replaces a social life, a hospital appointment wipes out the week. This isn’t poor time management. It’s the reality of living

TRUMP: “One thing I’ve noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses and the worse that country is doing. China makes almost all of the windmills. And yet, I haven’t been able to find any wind farms in China.” FACT: China has by far the

Just a reminder to all those falling for government and media BS: YOU CANNOT JUST PHONE THE DWP AND INSTANTLY GET DISABILITY BENEFITS. You have to fill out a form that is designed to catch you out and provide reams and reams of evidence proving you have a disability. For many

When “risk assessments” ignore lived reality, they stop being safeguarding tools. They become weapons. Disabled people are routinely assessed by people who’ve never seen their daily barriers, never stepped inside their home, never understood their condition yet feel qualified

“Just eat whole foods. Avoid anything in a package. Eat more fruits and vegetables.” No shit, Sherlock. Most of us would benefit from eating more fruits and veggies. But advice like this skips the most important question: who is actually doing the work? Who is planning the

Disabled people please read and share. Today NHS England has told me they hold no data on whether hospitals are step free and do not monitor compliance with equality law. That means no one nationally is checking if hospital buildings are physically accessible. I am a blind

Being housebound isn’t peaceful. It’s isolating in a way most people never see. Days blur. Friends drift. Invitations stop because you “always have to cancel.” The world moves on without you, while your life shrinks to the same four walls. It’s not a lack of desire to

Disabled people are expected to be grateful for scraps for the bare minimum, delivered late, inconsistently, or only after a fight. A tiny care package. An hour of support. A ramp that barely works. A benefit that doesn’t cover the basics. A service that technically exists but
