Urgh. I waited 9 years for an adapted council property. Unfortunatley disabled people are not catered for in building plans ever. Never has such a huge piece of society been discriminated against so much.

I knit my first garment in years recently and thought I’d share some thoughts. First: the pattern is the Salty Air Tee, by Samantha Guerin. I can’t recommend it enough. /1 #KnittingTwitter

My parents also told the same story. 2 of my great uncles died of TB. My mum relentlessly aired rooms and threw out cracked China for the rest of her life- #Trauma . These days must never return. Suzanne Zeedyk

Our member (not Bucks) has a teenager on an eating disorder ward. All 16 young patients said they would choose #AssistedDying if they were offered it. The ward manager said that would save the NHS £11 million a year and they'd favour AD for eating disorders. 1/2

So I had a message asking me not to say I'm a 'autism parent' I honestly don't ever remember saying this, i say parent of a autistic child , anyway I pointed out to the person that I am indeed autistic to which they replied are you sure 🤦‍♂️. I am a parent of autistic child,and I…

At supermarket - saw a man verbally abusing a cashier. Asked him to stop. He swears at me, says she’s being paid to work there and has to put up with what the customer says. It went on for a while.

Just seen this: an excellent article in the Telegraph echoing many people's concerns about the 'Cedawinlaw' crowdfunding campaigns. Why is their latest, failed appeal which raised £38K from women affected by pension loss yet again renewed today?

Wowzers. Sunday marks 43 years since I became a wheelchair user. The day after seeing Gary Numan at Wembley, aged 15, I woke up to find I couldn't walk at all. Turned out my spine collapsed in my sleep. Bye bye walking, hello the most amazing life I could have ever dreamed of ❤️

Today I stood here. 24+ people forced to sleep together 8 people to each platform. And when you’re stood there… you think, ‘why does anything else matter?’ And then I just thought… ‘I wish everyone was a bit nicer to each other!’

For anyone watching #BBCBreakfast be aware that many of the carers asked to pay back £81 a week over years often went no more than 30p or so over the weekly limit- £81 repaid for 30p extra is ridiculous and helps nobody. The #cliffedge has to go.

This sweet boy turning his bath water into tea is Ambrose.
Suffering from starvation and teeming with roundworm and deadly lungworm, he collapsed by a front doorstep, desperate for the residue heat from the house to keep his dying body warm.
The house owner saw him there in the…

I’m pleased to support the UNISON - UK's largest union National Care Service campaign.

A Labour Government will treat care workers and people receiving care with the respect and dignity they deserve #Letsmakecarework

This week Rishi Sunak proudly announced he’s found 25 court rooms & 150 judges to implement his morally bankrupt, lawbreaking #RwandaScheme

In other news the government wants an indefinite delay to the end of no-fault evictions to check we have enough judges to hear any cases..

📊 #IFSSatStat : Since 2014, government investment in the UK has exceeded the levels seen in Italy and Germany, though it has consistently lagged behind levels seen in Japan, France, the US and Canada.

Does anyone remember getting their wages in a brown envelope like this? I remember as a kid my dad did.

I'm a wheelchair user and today two people screamed at me because they didn’t pay attention and almost collided with me/fell on me, including one man who effectively trapped me in place whilst he yelled at me.

I am so tired of being shouted at for other people's mistakes.

Disabled people’s organisations have welcomed the “damning verdict” of a UN committee on the government’s track record on key disability rights over the last seven years.
