Happy Friday! The sun is shining which means perfect running weather! If you are out training today let me know below! 🏃‍♀️

The fact that it’s 3 years ago today since “How’s Trish?”

Scarlett and her new keepsake box 💕

All the friends I have made in the IBD/ostomy community are the reason I am still going…I won’t hear anyone, especially an MP slander them. Those who have lived and worked despite their illness are the only people I want to hear discussing PIP.

I didn’t go through everything I did not to help others. I will stand up for the chronically unwell and disabled until my last breath,

🚨BREAKING

Alongside 25 Disabled Peoples Organisations, activists, anti-racism organisations, & migrant rights groups, we have written to the Prime Minister to condemn the recent onslaught of attacks from the Government on Disabled People's rights.

Omg a work coach!!! That is definitely going to help those recover from inflammatory bowel disease! Who needs to see a doctor or surgeon with one of those about! Thanks Mel x

Disabled people: “I wish the NHS had fewer waiting times and I could get referrals to see the right people.”
Government: “No,no, no you don’t need a doctor, what you need is to be working, that is what will help you best. “

Is this a parody? It can’t be real. When people are sick they should not be working to the point of hospitalisation. The nhs is already overwhelmed!

Butterflies keep landing on me recently and I’m wondering if this means something (hopefully something good) 🦋

One minute I'm out celebrating my anniversary, and the next I'm crying in the toilet with s**t all on my dress.
Life with a stoma is anything but dull, I'll tell you that for free.
If only people cared enough about ostomates to make supplies available in chemists. Sigh.

Happy bank holiday weekend everyone ❤️

You're welcome DWP

Honestly who to even vote for these days when all I can see is parties discriminating against vulnerable people. What a sorry state of affairs.

Disgusting. This is somebody’s son!!!!

£8.7 billion worth of PPE unusable, our tax money

£37 billion wasted on test & trace, our tax money

£26.8 billion, our tax money lost to fraud & more

But it’s only when too many Disabled people start to claim benefits that the government cry they have a “duty to the taxpayer”

Hey Jeremy Hunt 👋

Just another reminder that Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is not an ‘out of work’ benefit.

Scarlett loving the spring sunshine and her new best friend. 🐱

It’s a disgrace that people with these debilitating illnesses are denied any help. Most of these MPs wouldn’t last a day in our shoes.

Sick of Tories saying disabled benefits need cutting.

Time for MPs to become better value for public purse.

Let's taper down their wage if they have additional income, cap their expenses, stop subsidised food/drink, second homes etc

RT if you agree.
