Let me be clear: this is actively traumatic for disabled people. We’re treated as economic bodies—worth less if we can’t work—and not even consulted. It’s retraumatising after years of this, worse because it’s Labour, and worse still because of the scale of cuts. #TakingThePIP

They came for disabled adults as they felt we were an easy target - upon learning that we are, in fact, capable of fighting back, they've decided disabled children are an easier target instead. As disabled adults, we cannot stand for this. #TakingThePIP #DisabilityRebellion

.Clive Lewis MP: "In truth, our welfare system is increasingly the state subsidising employers who pay poverty wages, landlords charging unaffordable rents & corporations extracting vast profits, all at societys expense" 🎯

So it seems it's only the LibDems who consistently get returned by happy constituents.

The longer the UK’s triple lock exists, the more Britain’s entire tax and welfare system will be a transfer directly from poor young people to rich old people

My favourite thing about this country is that 'you can't take money from millionaires, they might leave' is considered a more valid and compelling argument than 'you can't take money from disabled people, they might die'.

So THIS is why the NHS is doing fuck all to cure my autoimmune disease - it’s really the responsibility of Steve down at the job centre!

Her name is Christine Jardine, she’s the MP for Edinburgh West and she’s a class act.

When you’re chronically ill, some people will treat you like you’re not dying “fast enough”. They will be upset you’re surviving. They will act like you must be “not that sick” or you would be dead. Your literal survival will anger them. No one prepares you for that. 🧵

This. So many disabled people are just “putting up with it” I get no benefits. I need (and get from my fantastic employer) flexibility in my work to let me cope with fluctuating levels of illness. I get hardly any help from the NHS.

🚨🚨 Olly Grender's amendment to the Renters' Rights Bill to extend the Decent Homes Standard to MoD accommodation has passed the Lords today with a big majority! This is a big campaign issue for Liberal Democrats. Pride in our armed forces must mean pride in how we house them. 🚨🚨

This. Disabled people don't exist just to be inspiring tales of overcoming adversity. Sometimes our adversity is not overcome and all we can do is messily exist

The things that’s really sad about the is that that the first 6 weeks are the WORST. Get through that and bf makes life with a baby so much easier - no bottles, no need for fridges, just grab a muslin, wipes and nappies and go.

As someone who occasionally has to tell LibDem members that they can't do stuff with emails/data that they want to because it breaks our rules and GDPR/PECR laws: Good luck getting people to adhere to this...

This. I don’t have OCD now. I’m just anally retentive. But when I did things didn’t *annoy* me. They scared me. I was convinced I was going to throw my babies over the banister. And no amount of logic would convince me I wasn’t.
