Respect to the Maximus frontline staff providing the 1-to-1 support. Just their caseload must be huge and only just scratches the surface when providing support into work. They can’t shift the workplace side of things. Here’s the photo I sent to my Maximus buddy before interview.

The Department for Work and Pensions has admitted that the auditors they have used to check on the quality of benefit assessment reports were seconded from the same private sector companies that carried out those assessments.

Random thought for the day #COP31Türkiye
Loss and Damage Funds
Surely money can only be allocated if the recipient is not contributing to continuous destructive environmental degradation - ie a strategic programme of deforestation while seeking rewilding moneys for deforestation?

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

The first step to undoing Brexit is an urgent, independent inquiry into Russian interference and the constitutional process behind the referendum.

We need the truth about how the vote was conducted, whether it was constitutionally sound, and what was done with the result. You cannot close this chapter by pretending those questions don’t matter.

Always bottom of the list of priorities 😭

"What his proposals will do is discriminate against Disabled people based on age, drive a worsening of mental and physical health and push young Disabled people into poverty."

The additional costs of disability - accessibility for physical and hidden disability. There’s a lot of distance that needs to be travelled.

Disabled audience members face a “disability tax” of nearly £100 every time they attend a live music event, according to a survey by a disabled-led charity.

Whenever I go on a march in the centre of London around Westminster, I always look up to the rooftops and remember the bravery that our loved ones faced firsthand.

We remember
The Legacy
“While many surrounding military and administrative records were famously destroyed or severely damaged in nearby government buildings due to the bombing raids, the vigilant civil defense and fire guard rotas successfully kept 3 Whitehall Place standing.”♥️

Always very curious about the representation of people who have been hearing impaired for a lifetime and their ability to participate in public life. This is taking into consideration where their oral communication ability will never be at the same level as their hearing peers.

🔴 COP31 I Opening Ceremony https://t.co/41VEIFOXX2

[Alison Glasspool @AlisonGlasspool]

Five years since COP26 and we are in Antalya, Turkey for COP31.
COP26 did good things for the climate agenda, but not enough was done about the curtailing of fossil fuels.
Now we’re in Turkey.
Diplomacy is on the agenda too as the Climate crisis is also a human rights concern.

Who got to see fireworks this weekend?
This was in Sussex.
