It costs £581 a month more to be disabled in the U.K. (Scope) and it can sometimes be difficult for non disableds to wrap their head around that… so here are some examples last month of the #DisabilityTax I’ve had. #NEISvoid #DisabilityTwitter

On Friday I confronted Suella Braverman's use of hateful language. She refused to apologise. We must always challenge the language of hate. The Home Office demanded the video be taken town. They seem not to realise we are still a democracy.

As a profession, we know that simply booking interpreters isn't enough. Please, let's do better and be the collegiate community we like to think we are.

Sad, confused and upset that the National Deaf Children's Society have excluded me as a person born profoundly deaf and publish a story about a boy who lost his hearing aged three due to meningitis. My family and I have fund raised for a long time for the NDCS and I feel very disappointed. Susan Daniels

Congrats to Sarah Sunny. A huge achievement, even when not deaf. I can barely imagine how much hard work this required. bbc.co.uk/news/world-asi…
