They want disabled people to work but illogically: They don’t enforce the Equality Act They cut access to work They wish to cut PIP So tell me again - how are disabled people supposed to work?

Our first Black female MP is not allowed to say that she is a visible target for racism because of her skin colour? Absolute disgrace. How fast was the CAA on the phone, Keir Starmer?

We don’t just need more funding. We need new institutions. Ones where research is the mission not an excuse for more administration.

Even if patients with severe mental illnesses were to walk into these services with no referral, no appointment to get "support"... What would that support be? Would it meet the patient's needs given the staff wouldn't be expected to know the patient's history, risk assessment

Disabled people in financial crisis has DOUBLED since 2022–23. This research was DELAYED until AFTER the vote it seems. • 52% can’t afford support • 61% can’t heat their homes • 64% can’t access essential care • 18% have had to use food banks Evil.tinyurl.com/3ufxtff6

The DWP admitted 25 cases in one year where their own errors caused serious harm or death—missed suicide warnings, ignored calls for help, unsafe decisions. They said it after the vote. Will you listen on ‘substantial risk’ now? It’s about to get worse. tinyurl.com/3xwjmmw9

😁 when you completely dont fit the mould of the ‘norm’, of the ‘normal’ way things are done, get told throughout your life you cant do x or y or z, or you cant do it the way you are doing it, this makes it all worthwhile 😊 who wants to be normal anyway.

The government has quietly published 12 research reports, nearly all related to disability employment, disability poverty and the benefits system, all on the same day, just 8 days after MPs voted to impose £2 billion-a-year cuts to disability benefits. disabilitynewsservice.com/government-qui…

What an utter mess. The billions spent on training PAs and implementing them. This was entirely avoidable. The role was not needed, it addresses no problem other professionals / roles could not solve. We will be paying for this mess yet again in court.
