It's publication day!. I'm so proud of this book. Everything I have and everything I've experienced as a disabled woman is in these pages. I hope you love her .

Was so happy to be able to walk with @Parapride at the parade today . So important that everyone in the community feels represented and celebrated. Happy LBGTQ Pride and happy Disability Pride 💜🌈

Might not seem like much but. My little book has (finally) sold over 1000 hardback copies! . Happy Disability Pride Month to me.

another day living with the hatred of disabled people that the media and successive governments have deliberately stoked for 15 years.

I despise a lot of things about this government but Sultana must know that splitting Labour only helps Reform . Which doesn't. seem like something a left winger should want.

I'm sorry but whether you agree with their politics or not, didn't the Independent Group (throwback!) pretty much disprove the idea a splinter party could work?.

Hardly important compared to the effects on the people these bills target, but the assisted dying and welfare stuff has really affected my mental health. Going to still be around but trying to step back for a few days to clear my head before next week. Love to you all.

Round 2: let's go.

Credit where credit is due though, Vicky's resignation as whip made the rebellion that forced the changes possible. It needed a figurehead and she provided it.

Hugely disappointed and quite betrayed by the fact @Debbie_abrahams and @vickyfoxcroft voted for the bill which still includes cuts to the UC health component, when they've led such strong opposition on the Pip cuts. Just doesn't make sense.

It is undoubtedly depressing that it's passed. BUT. Pressure worked. They u-turned on Pip and some UC measures. AND the government's majority was halved. The momentum is with us because we are right.

The bill has passed second reading. It no longer includes the new rules for Pip but has punitive measures for future disabled claimants of UC. It should have been voted down. Remember that this doesn't mean the bill is law. It's now got committee stage and another vote.

The important thing is the effect on disabled people but there's also a conversation to be had about how the hell this government is being run and whether Starmer is fatally weakened now.

This chaos and u-turning would be a bit more gratifying if it didn't just play into Reform's hands.
