Cutting disability support won't force people into jobs; it will force them into homelessness. bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

Not anywhere near enough medical professionals are talking about the proposed benefits cuts tbh…

Being #disabled and alive is now an act of daily political rebellion

I have a pet theory: the apparent rise in mental health claimants is partly because the DWP decides which of someone’s 5–6 conditions is “primary.” With health campaigns raising MH awareness, assessors are more likely to assign that primary category.

Tom Daley is one of the FEW gay men with celebrity who is brave enough to speak up for trans people in our time of need. When we come through this and the coast is clear, others will suddenly appear, saying how awful it was. Kudos Tom Daley ✌️❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Say it with me: Disabled people deserve to live even if they can’t work.

We live in the sixth largest economy on earth. Of course we can afford to let the chronically ill and disabled people live in dignity without forcing them to look for unsuitable work. They're lying again.

Would someone explain the clinical reasoning upon which changes to pip are possibly going to be made ? Multiple low level difficulties can have just as much impact on daily living ( if not more) as severe difficulties in one area. I do hope the govt has taken OT advice #Carer

Hands up if your mental illness has: -made you lose/gain weight -made it impossible to leave the house -made it hard to sleep at night -made you have suicidal ideation -made life not feel worth living -made you lose friends/family We see you, We hear you. You are not alone 💜

PIP IS NOT THE ONLY DISABILITY BENEFIT AT RISK! Please don’t forget about Universal Credit (especially LCWRA), and Contribution-Based ESA. Also Carer’s Allowance, benefits cap exemptions, Council Tax reductions, Social Care, and lots more. Focusing only on PIP isn’t enough.

“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.” The Talmud. Micah 6:8

Today marks the beginning of Pride Month - now more than ever, we must stand with the LGBTQ+ community. I want to make clear that our party will keep fighting - until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are. libdems.org.uk/news/article/p…

I don't know if this is staged or not - I did have a similar experience happen to me (in real life) a number of years ago. I struggle with escalators (I don't use them now), and I was stuck at the top of one, and a kind stranger helped me.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that part of the reason orange was used for street lights is that we have night vision in orange and red light and it does not cause our pupils to contract as much. I don't object to LED ones but they should be the same colour as before
