UNDERSTANDING DISABILITY: Week 6 of our Series (now called Aditus Potens AF™) is on:
Thursday 11th June 7–9pm

Last week’s session on the difference between NHS and social care was really insightful, thank you to everyone who joined!

This week we’re looking at the practical reality that follows on directly from last week:
Gaps between NHS and social care
→ Where do people fall through the cracks?
We’ll clearly break down:
• The most common interface gaps where NHS healthcare ends and social care support is supposed to begin
• How these cracks appear differently across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
• Real-world examples
• Why these gaps matter so much for disabled people and families
• Practical, evidence-based ways the system could close the cracks (with costs, viability and likely impact)

Expect straight facts, clear explanations, the latest 2025/26 data, practical examples, and open discussion, clarity on where the hand-overs actually break down and what could realistically fix them.

Format: Online X Space (link will be set up on Thursday so it can be recorded with comments enabled)
Drop a comment below if you have any specific questions or areas you’d like covered. Looking forward to another strong and useful conversation. #UnderstandingDisability #AditusPotensAF™

We are sure that Woking MP @WillForster has signed @NadiaWhittomeMP EDM on rejecting EHRC guidance with the best of intentions but we urge him to think about how rejecting it exposes Surrey public bodies and businesses to legal action. 1/2

@PolitlcsUK Are we allowed to support England?

[Rita Rake #IStandWithSalGrover @rita_rake]

The chair of the NPCC now reviewing the guidelines that may have contributed to the death of Henry Nowak is the same man who was friends with Stephen Ireland, & insisted TI male police officers should be able to search female detainees, & that female officers should search TIMs.

[Jennifer Thetford-Kay @JenKteach]

Just an update - we now have 93 MPs who have zero respect for the law, sex-based rights or safeguarding: Lib Dems are beating Labour at stupidity on this one!

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Today we remember the sacrifice and bravery of the British and Allied forces who stormed the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago.

They fought for freedom, duty, and our values.

We will never forget their sacrifice.

A media company that made substantial donations to Andy Burnham’s mayoral election campaigns later received at least £338,400 in taxpayer-funded contracts from the Greater Manchester authority that he ran. 👀👀........

EY3 Media donated a total of £45,000 in the form of free promotional videos to Burnham at the time of the 2021 and 2024 Greater Manchester mayoral elections, freedom of information requests and spending records show.

Since the company’s first donation of £29,000 in April 2021 EY3 Media has received at least £338,400 from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) for “publicity” and “other promotional services”. This included a publicly funded campaign to challenge gender-based violence across the region. The campaign was praised by Burnham as “the most important and impactful campaign we have ever run”.

All six British MPs who sponsored the motion to reject the draft guidance (based on the Supreme Court ruling) on protecting sex-segregated toilets and changing areas are left-wing women.

The 82 other MPs who have signed on are ONLY from left-wing parties (Labour, Green, Liberal Democrat, SNP and Plaid Cymru).

[Jennifer Thetford-Kay @JenKteach]

Updated; so far....86 performative fools, who do not care about women in rape centres, domestic refuges, changing rooms for girls or that gay men have a right to exist as a same-sex attracted category.

They all apparently failed biology and have zero morals!

[Graham Linehan @Glinner]

Yes, he really hates misogyny

[Ursula Doyle @suladoyle]

And to our female communities: shut up.

[siobhan @siobhan1437154]

@KemiBadenoch And yet, not one of you have reached out to meet me, the mother of Rhiannon Whyte? Or help me get answers . I really hope Henry's family get the peace they deserve, because I know I won't, yet I've tried so many times.

[BelfastBeatnik @BelfastBeatnik]

Mwah ha ha...

[Aja ♀️🇬🇧 @AjaTheEmpress]

I cannot believe we're finally having the "Is Islam homophobic?" conversation.

Yes. Yes, it bloody well is.
I'm genuinely shocked that people didn't work this out when ISIS was
throwing gay people off rooftops.

Or when polls found that half — yes, half — of UK Muslims wanted homosexuality to be illegal.

And before anyone says it, yes, that poll was 10 years ago. But do you seriously think those attitudes have improved or worsened now that we've imported millions of people from some of the most socially conservative countries in the world?

Nah, me neither.

I will never stop reminding people that Narinder Kaur is absolute sewage.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary.

They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them.

They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change.

They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.

We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change.

Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together.

Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for.

I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy.

That is my focus now.

Woman of the Day WW1 ambulance driver Sadie Bonnell, born OTD in 1888 in Kew, Surrey, one of the first women to be awarded the Military Medal for “gallantry and conspicuous devotion to duty” for collecting wounded soldiers from a dressing station near the Western Front under heavy fire, close to a poison gas dump.

When war broke out in 1914, Sadie joined the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry founded in 1907 as an all-women mounted volunteer Corps and trained as ‘the connecting link between the fighting units and the hospitals.”

Members of FANY had to qualify in first aid, horsemanship, veterinary work, signalling and camp cookery. They were ready to go, but the War Office really wasn’t ready to accept the help of women. They preferred them to sit at home and knit. “No petticoats here.”

Ever tried stopping a woman when her mind is made up? Some applied to the Belgian and French armies and were accepted. Sadie joined the Canadian Army Service Corps as an ambulance driver and was posted to Normandy.

During the night of 18-19 May 1915, based in a large camp on the road to Arques in Normandy, she collected wounded men from a dressing station near Saint-Omer whilst under heavy German bombardment for five hours. The enemy's shells had set a nearby ammunition dump on fire and narrowly missed a poison gas dump nearby.

The men wounded in the bloodbath of the trenches were carried or escorted to the advanced dressing stations and from there, to field hospitals or Channel ports. Transported over poor roads and jolting railways, many died in agony en route but it was the only chance of survival they had.

Sadie returned again and again with Evelyn Brown, a Canadian volunteer, until every single one of the wounded had been collected.

She was awarded the Military Medal, one of the first women to achieve that honour, and was decorated by General Sir Herbert Plumer, commander of the British Second Army. The citation read: ‘For gallantry and conspicuous devotion to duty, when an ammunition dump had been set on fire by enemy bombs and the only available ambulance for the removal of wounded had been destroyed…she arrived with three ambulances and, despite the danger arising from various explosions, succeeded in removing all the wounded. Her conduct throughout was splendid.’

She showed great courage again during the East End Air Raid in 1916, driving an ambulance during some of the first air raids London experienced, and from 1919, she worked in hospitals as a volunteer. She was noted for her love of fast cars and only gave up driving when she turned 95.

Sadie died aged 105 on 2 September 1993.

The First Aid Nursing Yeomanry was later used as one of the two cover stories for the incredibly brave women who joined the Special Operations Executive during WW2.

“It wasn’t courage. I was there to do something useful. There was a job we had to get done.”

[Bev Jackson @BevJacksonAuth]

I admit to a certain morbid fascination with people like @stellacreasy and @NadiaWhittomeMP who brazen it out after being caught misrepresenting parliamentary process as it applies to the EHRC Code of Conduct - even after @akuareindorf and @Scott_Wortley have gone to immense lengths to explain, in great detail and with superhuman patience and courtesy, why they have got it completely wrong.

But their betrayal of lesbians and women in general - and their sheer dishonesty in refusing to admit openly they still want to replace all sex-based rights with self-ID - are not remotely fascinating. Just grotesque.
