If this is true, it is disgraceful and utterly unacceptable. I will raise these issues with Commons Transport Committee
Department for Transport and Rail Minister Huw Merriman MP

Weird to have to say this but this harassment of disabled and chronically people does nothing to improve our health. Just the opposite in fact. Sort out the many structural problems we face so that we find accessible and flexible jobs. Stop blaming us for your failures.

Sorry, there’s no care worker to help you get dressed but Keir has some ASBOs to hand out to teenagers from deprived homes.

Professor Anna Lawsons message to Rishi Sunak UK Prime Minister Transport Committee on 15 May 2024 ‘It’s excluding people & it is locking us out of buses. How ever accessible buses are it is no good if we can’t reach them. Buses are our lifeline, to work, to social life, to inclusion’

New from me: 'The BPD label silences and retraumatizes patients, perpetuating cycles of epistemic injustice.... It ripples into unintended areas of life. Getting rid of the BPD label can be framed as a win-win for all'. Fantastic art from Jee and Bekah: tinyurl.com/tfa2bc5u

If you tender for vehicles that do not provide for level boarding, I will challenge the decision in court under the Public Sector Equality Duty.
Take note, Huw Merriman MP, Southeastern, London North Eastern Railway and other organisations currently contemplating tendering for or procuring vehicles.

bylinetimes.com/2024/05/10/ass… A good week in terms of more balanced debates on assisted suicide. Thank you Byline Times for letting me have the space to speak for those of us so often suppressed. Proud as always to be on your team. @bylinetimes

Tom Shakespeare Just a reminder, for balance. And, I believe, not mentioned in Tom's piece for the Express: disabilitynewsservice.com/assisted-suici…

Government fails to act over minister who shared post on ‘dangerous’ DWP policies disabilitynewsservice.com/government-fai… via Disability News Service

This Govt & how they’ve made healthcare, Social Care, Treatment Changes, Benefit Changes without listening to DPO’s in consultation means #disabled are not safe, & the AD bill should be opposed. #BetterOffDead

👉 I do not trust Govt judgement or future intentions
👉 Do you ?

“For a documentary about the right to die, this is an unflinching account of the urge to live.”

I reviewed Liz "blue tick" Carr’s take on “assisted suicide” and the risks to disabled people. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/a…

Thanks Liz "blue tick" Carr that was fantastic! Totally relatable and several points, particularly with your Mum that could have been my personal experience too. Our disabled voices need to be heard in this debate #BetterOffDead ? We need #AssistanceToLive !
theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/a…

Said it before and will keep saying it. As a disabled person, I would much prefer the promise of assisted living than the threat of assisted dying. #BetterOffDead

Stop this onslaught of attacks, say disabled people in letter to PM.
Over 14 years, we have witnessed a succession of Tory govts who feel that inflicting punishment on people can somehow 'cure' poverty, ill health and disability.
