A great event today with a surprise appearance from John Evans, OBE @johnforrights. We also had the fantastic @RealCareUK, @perry_fleur and @WinVisibleWomen on our panel. What a line up! Our takeaway from the meeting - we are all ready to fight for our rights. Watch out.

Who are these people who want to ruin the anniversary of when a war ended, by wanting to end a war? Have they no respect?

Today, I am thinking of human beings in Gaza buried under the rubble. I am thinking of their joys, dreams, hopes & fears. I wonder, if the dust ever settles, whether opponents of a ceasefire will look back and reflect on the cost of their inhumanity. We need a ceasefire, now.

"We all want to live in the place we call home..." Social care isn't something that only matters to other people. It affects all of our lives. Please watch this little film I narrated by #SocialCareFuture & let's start a conversation about social care that works for us all!
Today we’re thrilled to launch our new campaign to change the story of Social Care. Major star and disability rights activist @thelizcarr is the narrator in our brand new film – watch it and share! #SocialCareFuture

BREAKING: Rishi Sunak U-turns on UK net zero goals. The industries, billionaires & oligarchs with the greatest incentive to invest in politics are those involved in the dirtiest & most anti-social businesses. Rishi Sunak is their Prime Minister @georgemonbiot

This is utterly heartbreaking and a direct breach of the Care Act. Mrs Lees knows what she needs & is expressing it clearly. Unfortunately this is not an isolated case. So many people, many who can't express it, are facing similar. We must face up to the truth about social care.
@NorfolkCC Why are you not following the Care Act? Equality Act? Human Rights? Detained for a year by you. Crime? Having Multiple Sclerosis.

1. We wholeheartedly support a mixed market of personal assistants, that includes genuinely self-employed PAs and micro-providers. This will provide the most options and the greatest choice for people that draw on personal assistance for support.

We know some issues in our recent report about the employment status of PAs aren’t always easy to understand or might be misconstrued. And we want to be as clear as we can. So we’re setting out our position on a few key things. (A thread)
