The Assisted Dying Bill is awful. All amendments tabled by people concerned about disability were rejected. Anorexia falls within the definition of terminal illness: this is abhorent and contrary to mainstream, evidence-based psychiatry. All MPs should vote against this Bill.

When you wake up every morning thinking "What shit are both the UK and US Governments going to come up with today to make life harder" .. It's so fucking exhausting

Disabled people are not a burden. Disabled people are not "dead wood" Disabled people are not a drain on society. And ffs, most disabled people don't claim disability benefits, so using the 25% number is totally irrelevant, when less than 25% of those claim PIP.

Labour MPs should be prepared to lose the whip if need’s be, to prevent these harmful policies coming to light. Their job, and “loyalty” should not come above the lives of vulnerable people. If it does, they are complicit. (And abstaining is not sufficient)

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published so far found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining Trussell in calling on the

Ellie Reeves is living in the same cuckoo land as her sister Rachel Reeves. Where are all these jobs Ellie? Who are all the employers willing to employee Sick & Disabled people? This is about as disingenuous as #UKLabour MPs get. Do they hear themselves? FFS! #CutsKill

Stop fudging the numbers

And reform is NOT the answer!

Nothing about us without us. Any time decisions are being made about a cohort and there isn’t a single person from that cohort around the table, those decisions will never be for the benefit of said cohort.

Unable to verify if this was said by Gandhi but it certainly rings true.

Hard to find a single politician or anyone in public office these days who upholds these Nolan principles 🤨

My experience says the latter. Sorry 😞

That’s right, let’s blame the parents, not the failings in the SEND system. It never stops. NSM Training & Consultancy

Hey NSM Training & Consultancy you want to pick a fight with “uncooperative and hostile” parents? By all means. Every parent with children with SEND needs will know about this bollocks. Parents are formidable. We don’t stop fighting. Fuck you Karen. Just try me.

Volunteers again stepping in where statutory services are failing. Well done everyone 👏🏼

This whole narrative is toxic and unhelpful but unfortunately more people will be emboldened to do this thanks to the disgusting rhetoric coming from central government 😡
