I've talked about this before, but as this ad is activating trauma, I want to explain what disabled people live with.

More than 15 years ago (yes, before the Tories), all my benefits suddenly stopped. When I called to ask why I was put through to the fraud office.

Colin Farrell out here doing more for post-viral education than the world’s doctors and politicians combined.

@stephendurkan Macarena lamentations and incantations. Beautiful.

Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

Markup (noun): What a corporation charges consumers on top of production costs, to generate profit.

Example: The biggest recorded year for markups was 2021.

If you have never given much thought to the essential importance of a functioning and properly resourced social care system please think for a moment on this tweet…

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

There are disabled people in this country currently laying in their own urine because their local councils are too underfunded to get a social care worker to help them get out of bed today.

[Becks Lee (she/her) @BecksLeeDesign]

Hey @PassAssistance seems train company accessibility policies and training relating to your app info or your app design needs to be improved here. Perhaps another iteration with a paid Disabled-led steer group or service design practice? Maybe contact @QueerCantHear to resolve.

[Jasper 🦡🤟 @QueerCantHear]

Hi @PassAssistance train companies have recently told me that "seat transfer" DOESN'T mean transferring to a seat (I was confused), but so staff members are aware assistance is needed into the train with ramp/to wheelchair space. The logo is misleading. Maybe needs looking into?

We’re planning to sue Ofgem over their price cap announcement. Here’s how & why 🧵(1/9)

[Connor Scott-Gardner @ConnorScottG]

We pulled it off! We streamed the closing ceremony with audio description. This wouldn't have been possible without @DisabledJess @lilririah @brulafu and @FreakyFwoof who donated their time and skills to make this happen. Thank you so much!

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Both chilling & horribly inevitable. We knew this was coming, it’s been carefully engineered by govt underfunding for the last 12 years. Now the convenient “solution” is self-pay.

Please *please* fight a pay-to-use “NHS” with all your might, people 🙏💙 https://t.co/kdCjd9rQwc

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Well this is chilling. The UK government has quietly just removed "sexual and reproductive health and rights" & "bodily autonomy" from a multinational statement committing to the fundamental rights of women & girls. Why exactly? Abortion is a human right.
