'We're being pushed towards having to book two hours in advance before we get a train... make every MP do it, and then see how easy it is.' The 2010 Equality Act is 'not fit for purpose,' Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson asserts as she lays out her stance on rail ticket office closures.

The campaign focuses on assuming disabled people are incapable, which plays nicely into them kicking 2 million people of out of work benefits. It also implies all questions are well-intentioned when disabled people know this isn't the case

If you do have a disabled colleague or pal, here are some non-ableist ways of asking what they need: - Do you need a hand with anything? - Is there anything we can do to make this more accessible? - Is there anything it'd be useful for me to be aware of?

A stranger pointed at me and asked my caregiver what’s wrong with me. He was not looking for a “conversation,” it was an interrogation. And it dehumanized and objectified me making me feel invisible in a hostile public space where I cannot escape such scrutiny #AskDontAssume

There’s a very big difference between asking if a disabled person needs assistance and asking personal questions regarding their medical history re #AskDontAssume and that’s where the grey area is and boundaries will be crossed.

My thoughts on the new #AskDontAssume Campaign. Please, don’t #ask. We will let you know if we need you for anything. Otherwise you can #assume we are just fine. Thanks. 🙄

After attending the #RightsOnFlights parliamentary event I thought a lot about my own experiences of travelling & vacationing as a disabled woman. Truth be told I’ve never had 1 holiday where I’ve felt completely safe & able to maintain my independence. metro.co.uk/2023/10/07/ive…
