I'm begging my disabled UK friends and allies to stop leaving out UC LCWRA in regards to cuts #TakingThePIP. For some of us, such as myself, it's the only money we're surviving on. Please don't abandon us.

As survey of people with bipolar receiving PIP found 77% use it for essentials like therapy, medication, and crisis planning. Removing it doesn't just reduce income—it removes lifelines

I’ve scratched my head at plenty govt comms over years. Saw this Angela Rayner effort earlier. For split second thought it a parody then realised. #dyingtowork hashtag isn’t clumsy or unfortunate, it’s utterly crass. Who on earth at Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov signed this off?

One of the hard things about being in the mental health system is having no control over what is written about you in your notes. Words that have the power to shape how others see you and how you see yourself. I wish more professionals knew that their words matter.

Whatever people’s views about the concessions, surely everyone can see the process here is ALL wrong? Third Reading in eight days? A timetable like that diminishes the role of MPs in getting this legislation right, shuts out disabled people and puts too many at risk.

One thing to emphasise about disability and employment is that a lot of working age disability benefit claimants - many of whom will in time be hit by these cuts - are not just disabled but also ageing They face a double labour market barrier, or even a triple barrier (+ gender)

🧵Today marks six months since the government promised cross-party talks to fix social care—the crisis continues, and not a single meeting has taken place. We need #FreeSocialCareForAll

Training to task is shorthand for having someone doing a piece of your care without the knowledge and skills needed to join it up with the rest and contextualise it.

This is precisely why our #HillsboroughLaw Bill demands a parity of arms (levelling the playing field of legal funding) for those fighting the state & its agencies. Support #HillsboroughLawNow 👇

Appalled to see the Telegraph giving Aseem Malhotra a platform today. He has spread increasingly dangerous vaccine misinformation with impunity. ⁦GMC⁩’s failure to remove him from the register is every bit as appalling. A spineless dereliction of duty.

We currently have zero scrutiny of the premature deaths of people with learning disabilities. A gargantuan step backwards. 2. theguardian.com/society/2013/j…

BBC giving false reassurance to patients. PAs don’t have to have a science degree/NHS work and currently they don’t have to be GMC registered. bbc.com/news/articles/…

The mental health awareness campaigns have been woefully inadequate for some illnesses The conflation of long term conditions with “wellbeing” has not helped Sadly the people I support who have enduring illnesses suffer as much stigma today as they ever have

Those men triggered by the Lionesses’ success should at least acknowledge and respect that the women are great role models inspiring more kids to play the game, which is good for their physical and mental health, which is good for the nation…

Why doesn't the media talk about Sudan? Sudan is bleeding. Sudan's war has set off the world's largest hunger crisis, as the fighting continues to devastate lives and livelihoods.
