“It’ll take days bedbound to recover, but if we don’t fight our own corner, who will?” I spoke to disabled people fighting the welfare bill - and got their reaction on last night’s chaotic vote. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

The government is still making devastating cuts to Universal Credit (UC)✂️ UC is a lifeline for disabled people who face huge extra costs but aren't able to work. 📢 The government must withdraw the bill. And co-produce all disability benefit reforms with disabled people.

Grown-up politicians calling something that will destroy lives and the nation's fiscal future "Big Beautiful Bill" on orders from their venal leader tells you a lot about the collapsing empire moment we are living through.

🚨 Reminder: cuts to disability benefits affect everyone. You might not need disability benefits today. Or tomorrow. But you can become disabled at any time and find yourself in need of a financial safety net.

My partner wrote this poem for Alice, the pwME author of the lovely poem The Silk Thread (see thereforme.uk/p/campaign-upd…); he also asked me to share it publicly. So here you are:

After years of campaigning, the law is finally changing. This only happened because brave victims shared their stories. It's been a privilege to work alongside Zelda, Louise & others on this. Today proves that speaking out can lead to real change. buff.ly/QuhIwKV

June 30 + 9……still no ME Delivery Plan. Very grateful to Helen Morgan MP 🔶 LibDem Health Spokesperson for writing to Wes Streeting asking that the Plan be published very soon. We owe it to #pwME to recognise the urgency of the challenge and take immediate action to address it.

".. an inverse relationship occurs in ME. The greater the need, the fewer interventions one receives. The more the illness restricts your daily life, the less one is believed. We see a severity paradox, where injustice escalates fast." #SevereME #MEcfs

Thank you so much Long Covid Advocacy 💙 for your great #ThereForME blog talking about severe ME. Check it out👇🏻

"The pundits & politicians belittling disability today could, with just the hand of bad luck, wake up tomorrow with Parkinson’s or ME" Frances Ryan Thank you so much for you compassion & understanding in the face of so much cruelty Frances #ME #pwME theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

🧵 From Action for ME: Adam Price, Member of the Welsh Senedd (MS), has sponsored a motion for debate in the Senedd about provision for Severe & Very Severe ME. To give it the best chance of being selected, as many MSs as possible are needed to support the motion. #SevereME 1/

June 30 + 10… and with still no sign of the ME Delivery Plan, last Thursday I again asked the Leader of the House, Lucy Powell MP, if she could help bring an end to the delay which is so disrespectful for #pwME. I’m grateful for her acknowledgement and commitment to follow up. 👍🏾
