I love birds and I’m furious that the UK Government has launched an #AttackOnNature. I have written urgently to my MP, Greg Smith. Will you email yours? Follow this link, it makes it very straightforward.

Can you help me stop this #AttackOnNature @gregsmith_uk? Nature groups are worried, and so am I! There are Gov plans to rip up nature rules and renege on manifesto commitments! Please ask @DEFRA & @trussliz to listen to @WildlifeTrusts and others, you must #DefendNature

My MP 😡
Is it too much to ask in @BorisJohnson Britain that the new Education Minister set an example to our nations children and not show the general public her middle finger.

Great to see this in print. Just goes to show, inclusion is not an impossible dream
communitylivingmagazine.com
The expectation that people with learning disabilities will enter spaces run for non-disabled people is being flipped by projects that push the boundaries of inclusion, says Jan Walmsley.

He is of course right, but why did he not close them when he was Health Secretary? @Jeremy_Hunt @LearningDisEng
Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee Jeremy Hunt says the UK's treatment of people with autism "shames a civilised society", after a report says there is a "shocking" six-year average length of stay in assessment and treatment units. https://t.co/wWNz9SvoGJ

Useful information here, not as much about barriers as I would have expected though

Select committee chair Jeremy Hunt rightly calls for action on 'national shame' of 2,000 autistic/learning disabled ppl locked in assessment & treatment units. A health secretary has powers to act here. For those with short memories, Hunt was health secretary 2012-2018. #Autism

Has anyone else noticed that we don't actually have a learning disability strategy in England - unlike Wales and Scotland. here is my column about this in Community Living https://t.co/FUFXZxSwpB

Policy doesn’t guarantee action but, without it, where are the reference points, the drive, the ambition? Jan Walmsley looks at 50 years of strategies for people with learning disability

and we LOVED that you were there
Self-advocates from our team loved today’s #BigIdeas meeting – talking about who is and who isn’t allowed to speak 🔇 Great #LearnandShare conversations based on role playing & supporting Cinderella aka @liz_tilley24 to have a voice #BeCreative #SelfAdvocacyWorks

Maybe we can have John Bercow back as MP for Buckingham? He would definitely be an improvement on the current anonymity @johnbercow1
John Bercow, who is Jewish, had the integrity and decency to make it crystal clear that Jeremy Corbyn is not an antisemite For a multitude of reasons I - who am also Jewish but have never met Corbyn - know this is 100% correct SHAME ON ALL THE OTHER MPs WHO CRAVENLY KEPT QUIET
