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...

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.

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.
