I have a lot on my plate as in the process of relocating. I wish I was still on steroids as despite giving me relentless insomnia, they also gave me energy & strength, reducing pain too. Another bed day as my body feels like lead, plus there's a heat wave.

Please if you can, and have time, think about speaking to the Guardian newspaper via phone or zoom about how cuts to benefits will personally affect you.

Ok, I see now, swimming lengths for hours in the pool when a youngster was not enough. Mind you, 8 years of ballet classes were pretty strenuous.... She's not going to break her back is she? 😲⬇️

For 14 years Labour have opposed welfare cuts, right up to the month before they were elected they strongly opposed the proposed cuts to PIP, stating it was not an out of work benefit and would plunge people into poverty. I just cant get my head around it. #TakingThePIP

Labour MPs will be afraid to lose their jobs if they vote "no" on the benefits cuts. Many disabled people afraid they will lose their lives if their MP votes "yes". Please, vote no.

Kendal says: “This legislation represents a new social contract and marks the moment we take the road of compassion, opportunity and dignity,”. Compassion!? She doesn't know the meaning of the word. She's sub-human. bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

The world is as it used to be: All nations striving strong to make Red war yet redder. Mad as hatters. They do no more for Christés sake Than you who are helpless in such matters. - from Channel Firing - 1914 by Thomas Hardy

There was no mention of disability cuts in Labour's 2024 manifesto. Why? So we'd vote for them? "The weak in courage are strong in cunning." - William Blake #Disability #ChronicIllness #TakingThePIP

Twenty seconds of calm for anyone who needs it this morning

New Impact Assessment: “No one will lose PIP without reassessment by a trained healthcare professional.” Sounds reassuring but we’ve seen the data. DWP “health profs” ARE NOT neutral. Their judgements are shaped by targets, pressure, and poor understanding of many disabilities.

(1/2) With a heavy heart, I have written to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as a whip. Whilst I will continue to support the government in delivering the change the country so desperately needs, I cannot vote in favour of the proposed reforms to disability benefits.

BREAKING: Labour MP Vicky Foxcroft quits as government whip, becoming first frontbencher to stand down over welfare cuts.

The very long awaited Final Cross-government Delivery Plan for ME/CFS won’t fix everything, but could be a start. Y’day I sought confirmation of its publication by the end of June, bringing some government commitment to #pwME. 🙏🏽 Lucy Powell MP⁩ for a sympathetic response.

Really hope go big or go home is still a thing.

Lisa Nandy is either lying or has grossly misunderstood what her constitutents are saying here. PIP is NOT an out-of-work benefits. 1 in 5 people on PIP are in work. Noone on PIP WOULD EVER say this. Full stop. I will be complaining to the PCC.

Now, isn't this eye-catching on a sunny-bright and hot day! It's almost over the top yet artistically restrained. Lol. I like the phone box arrangement best. Magical.❤️ Outside The Ivy in Bath.
