Reading the draft Autism & ADHD strategy 2025-2030 for York. Commits to working with Make It York to make spaces and events more inclusive of neurodiversity. Good luck with that. They are still figuring out physical accessibility after years of being told šŸ™„šŸ˜¤

Below is an excerpt from a speech I gave to our Council Executive in March. An email reply from the Leader received yesterday states she believes the principles of the Labour Party have not changed & rejects my assertion of #Eugenics at play. You decide… #WelfareNotWarfare

On the train headed for the DWPs sham consultation in #Leeds with a bundle of protest placards. A little birdie told me the top secret venue is the Marriot Hotel. Do come along ! #WelfareNotWarfare

#ConsultASham LeedsDPAC held a protest outside the Marriott Hotel in Leeds while the consultation on the disability benefit cuts was held inside. 1 activist got in and had their say. There was only 15 attendees at the meeting The DWP refused to let any other activists inside

Today’s protest done. Forced every Cllr to see this as they went in to Annual Council and as it happens, my MP. Rather begs the question what Luke Charters is doing glad-handing at a ceremonial occasion rather than being in Parliament on a working Thursday ā‰ļø #WelfareNotWarfare

Observed this in Leeds this week. In many places they use bricks rather than traditional tactile paving tiles - except the blisters have completely worn away making them undetectable underfoot. Blisters need to be 6mm. Really unsafe & disrespectful to blind people’s navigation.

Some rare downtime from campaigning for which the pet trailer has found another use - a birthday posh picnic transporter to enable two wheelchair using ladies to lunch in the park. The perfect accessible, infection avoiding, dietary requirement meeting celebration šŸ™Œ

Emergency community care is broken too. Discharged hospital Sunday night. One care visit on Tuesday afternoon to remove clothes still worn from accident & wash me. Nothing since. It’s half term apparently 🫩🄺

The Canary calls out the hypocrisy of Luke Charters being on the APPG for ME/cfs whilst supporting benefit cuts and assisted suicide. This is where the biopsychosocial babble leads - the belief we can all think ourselves well. thecanary.co/long-read/2025…
