The Government is planning “catastrophic” cuts to benefits that experts say will force disabled people into poverty, and even those with extreme disabilities will lose money. Our social safety net isn’t up for grabs: add your name now.

A Tory MP lied about 'free cars for the disabled' on Motability. @Helen_Whately. I challenged her to provide data to back up her argument (lies) and she was unable to do so. By the terms of the Challenge she owes £100 to Charity. And she's already overdue.

The petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy is at 105.3k. I think it should get a lot more signatures. If you agree please repost, and share the petition as often and as far and wide as possible. https://t.co/yQ9ia1ex53

We are concerned about reported efforts from Russia to influence democracy in the US, UK, Europe and elsewhere. We believe we must establish the depth and breadth of possible Russian influence...

🧵/ Today a damning parliamentary report on the state of palliative care services in England was published. Services are patchy, underfunded & “ill-equipped” to address end-of-life needs. Bereavement support is “frequently inaccessible. The palliative care workforce is in

Last night my teenage hero Gary Numan played Hammersmith. I so so wanted to go but all the access tickets sold out super fast. It looks like I missed an amazing gig. All for the lack of enough tickets for disabled gig goers. Again.

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces. But I see everything. Like the black sedan that circled the lot every

"Myles’s needs were clearly apparent to those who could meet them. They could and should have been met in order to prevent his death. They were not." Some humans are not more equal than others.
Wrong decisions on care and medication were made because allowances were not made regarding Myles Scriven’s learning disability and autism. @GeorgeJulian reports. https://t.co/GPkIH0IupW

Absolutely eye watering expenditure. This is the lobby group behind the Leadbeater bill.
Assisted suicide lobbyists Dignity in Dying’s accounts are out. Spending has surged to £3.4m, making a loss of £680k. Totally impossible for, eg, disability rights campaigners to compete with this kind of war chest.

Today a coroner Sonia Hayes (Essex) delivered the most thorough two and a half hour inquest conclusion I have ever heard. I couldn’t do it justice, it really should be recorded and broadcast in full. But here’s a small version of what was said and why it was important: ⬇️
