No disabled person deserves to live in poverty. No disabled person deserves to barely get by and not have any luxuries in life whatsoever. Many of us can't work and that's not our fault. Just because some aren't able to sacrifice our life to labor doesn't mean we should suffer.
I’ve emailed my MP asking them to contact @YvetteCooper and call for the Government’s upcoming plans for #dementiacare in England to guarantee families access to specialist care and ongoing support.

Morning everyone. I got out into nature for the first time in years. The wheelchair handled it like a charm. Completely exhausted now and a nasty headache but so worth it!
The Social Model of Disability underpins @EndSCDisgrace campaign to transform social care - free, publicly funded and underpinned by the other key idea, that of Independent Living.

Disabled people have many different conditions, impairments, and experiences.
What unites us is how we are further disabled by the way that society is designed and the assumptions that are made about us.
That's why the Social Model of Disability is the foundation of our work.
An NHS moment for social care? Let's work to transform social care - free, publicly provided, based on Independent Living.

An exciting time for social care triggered by the govt pivot. But excitement isn't enough. Here I explore why the govt position is a step forward, but we need to MUCH FURTHER. https://t.co/zRJqcqbmnl
Join @EndSCDisgrace and campaign for transformational chenge. Now is the time!
Unite is campaigning for a care service that puts an end to the rank profiteering happening across the UK, and establishes a compassionate, accessible, caring system that is fully funded through progressive taxation – not by picking the pockets of pensioners.
The government’s proposed free personal care service, funded by pension cuts, will do nothing to stop private profiteers, nor provide a true National Care Service for those who require dementia or residential care.
David’s mum deserved better and so does everyone else.
Sadly, his story is not unique. Please like and share this video to make more people aware of what is going on in care homes up and down the country.

Social care doesn't start at 65.
Our joint chair spoke at Saturday's @keepnhspublic conference about the urgent need for a properly funded National Care Support Service.
Working-age disabled people and unpaid carers must not be forgotten in social care reform.

@EndSCDisgrace
Society is often more comfortable praising sacrifice than talking honestly about what long term family caring does to a person mentally and emotionally.

Disability is not a moral failing
It’s not something that you can outrun with healthy living
It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of
It will happen to almost everyone, and believing you’re morally superior to those of us who are disabled causes tremendous harm.
Mayors will get new powers over how water companies are run under new “regional water councils”.
It won't resolve the crisis.
Water will remain privatised, companies want profits, pay dividends, fleece customers.
Let companies go bankrupt, nationalise

This constant false narrative about the benefits bill being out of control.
To put it into perspective what they're pushing is to take away the means to survive from the most vulnerable.
They're cultivating your consent to cull the disabled, with lies and propaganda.
Fraud in disability benefits is minuscule.
They've already cut payments by £200 a month pushing people into severe poverty. That means disabled people are actually choosing between rent, food or utilities.
Only the most severely disabled get anywhere near the highest amounts available, and it doesn't cover the cost of living.
That PIP payment, which is supposed to help with the extra costs of disability, is being used for basic survival. Not on the things they need to make life livable.
Once they've secured your consent, it will be pensioners next - pensioners make up the biggest part of the welfare bill, it's 55% of it.
With all this talk of productivity and cost, do you honestly believe it will stop at the disabled?
