A disabled woman, who apparently took her own life in despair at the way her benefits claim was being dealt with, left a note that “directly implicated” the Department for Work and Pensions in her death. https://t.co/GoeVOkVenI
Utterly disgraceful behaviour from the office of @AndyBurnhamGM. Refusing repeatedly over the last week to say clearly whether he is in favour of the government's policy on discharging people with #COVID from hospitals into 'zoned accommodation' in care homes. @GMCDP
One month left to respond to Gov's consultation on Access standards for new homes. https://t.co/nsJGGl3wpr. Seems a good day to share these pics of brand new homes in hilly South London. Shows that steep slopes need not be a barrier to step free access. Bravo! #ForAccessibleHomes
Work and pensions secretary Therese Coffey has failed to sign up to her own much-criticised disability employment scheme, Disability Confident, her department has admitted.

What takes this from merely incompetent to utterly #TakingTheDis is that disabled people don't have a seat on @SadiqKhan's #covid recovery board, but the RSPB does (that's Protection of Birds, not Blind People)
5 years ago I received the worst GCSE’s results and was absolutely heartbroken. Now, I’ve gained a 1st overall for my 2nd year of uni and 1 year away of becoming a qualified social worker. Never give up or let results define your future!👩🏼🎓💭🙌🏻.
An unexpected benefit of the #ALevelsResults fiasco and subsequent U-turn is that more young people have witnessed dissent as a powerful and necessary function of democratic society.
Gerald Casale here. Pandemic times require devolved solutions - be quick on your feet to go forward and move ahead. The 4th annual 5KDEVO race is going virtual & expanding beyond Akron. Now you can run, walk, crawl or Shrivel Up anywhere in the world! https://t.co/Z7gATOwWbu
Disabled people who have been shielding from #coronavirus since March are expressing significant doubts about government advice that says that – from Saturday (1 August) – they will no longer need to do so.

@ScotsPostPunk was it really 37 years ago ? The Crossing - this footage is a year after the albums release but shows Big Country at their best https://t.co/BXQyNVQFNd @BuDs_UK@BigCountryUK
Its time to heighten legislation and for the Government to support people to sue people for hate crime - on line racial abuse should become a hate crime and those responsible should be educated, complete community service and face imprisonment for their hate
I’ve just seen the text that @wilfriedzaha had to wake up to this morning.......... I’m ABSOLUTELY SPEECHLESS!! #Really#its2020 Racism is very much alive and active in our country!! I’m sad and disappointed!! #Racism#Rasist
