For some people, a diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease would mean the end of their photography - but not for Miles Pilling, aka the Scooter Shooter. What an inspirational story!

I just signed a @labourlewis petition: Rule out royal exemptions.

This is sickening. @RishiSunak & @Jeremy_Hunt are working up plans to tell GPs not to sign people off sick from work & instead tell them to find ways to work through illness. Agree this is a horrifying idea? Sign the petition today: https://t.co/rWgGnsS5uu via @38degrees

Join me & ask your MP to back the new #SupportMNDCarers campaign.

We need as many MPs as possible to write to @SteveBarclay so all #MND carers have access to the support they need 👇 https://t.co/KvBF8LpFX6

@MikScarlet I paid several thousand £ for a specialist mobility scooter. A design fault meant it had to be repaired twice. Third time it broke I sent it back. Am now very limited in where I can go again. Only been disabled for a few years and shocked at the profiteering at our expense.

I just signed the petition calling for the government to drop plans to electronically tag innocent people for attending protests. Will you join me?

📢 In just 6 days @TrussLiz and @KwasiKwarteng have tanked the economy with their #MiniBudget

It’s time to #RipItUp. If you agree, add your name to the open letter: https://t.co/IFLN3H4VzW

@penheiro53 @danielgoyal Why we need proportional representation.

I've signed the @NeuroAlliance petition, calling for UK governments to urgently establish a Neuro Taskforce. Add your name too! https://t.co/Ft7cxKeD4u #BackThe1in6

So sad to hear this. I was lucky to have met Peter after he agreed to be in our book @26miles4mnd. He was incredibly welcoming despite a Ch4 film crew being there at the time. A funny, hugely intelligent and brave man who will be remembered in medical history. #hero #MND 🌈

[The Scott-Morgan Foundation @DrScottMorgan]

To Peter’s amazing rebel supporters: With a broken heart, I’m letting you all know that Peter passed peacefully surrounded by his family, and those closest to him. He was incredibly proud of all of you who supported him, and his vision of changing the way people see disability.

Spot on.

@nickdearden75 Hope this gets bigger and bigger. Been wondering what on earth it will take for this lot of liars and cheats to finally trigger a poll tax moment.

[Scooter Shooter @Miles_Pilling]

@thekitchentabl @nickdearden75 @JujuliaGrace @AnthonyMangnal1 Feeling the same. Have a Tory career MP who replies standard gov'ment line to any letters /emails
Signing petitions, sending emails and tweeting won't make a difference now. Tories need to receive a clear and strong message that decent people have had enough. #RwandaNotInMyName

New oil & gas projects like Jackdaw will only make the climate crisis worse.

@KwasiKwarteng, we need the government to #StopJackdaw and introduce a windfall tax to invest in energy efficiency.

[Scooter Shooter @Miles_Pilling]

❗️Urgent #United2EndMND action: It's been 6 months since the PM agreed £50m funding for targeted #MND research but scientists are still waiting.

Urge Ministers @KwasiKwarteng & @sajidjavid to remove the barriers to this funding! 👇🏿

I've just written to @walkerworcester asking them to sign EDM 1126 calling for fundamental reform of disability benefit assessments processes. Will you support @Z2K_trust's campaign to put #PeopleBeforeProcess? Ask your MP to take action: https://t.co/PklqCGBgWC

@WheelerDax It does feel like we #disabled are the last discriminated group to have a lightbulb "moment" when society says "OH YES WE GOT THAT WRONG, LET'S CHANGE THAT" 💡💡💡

[Scooter Shooter @Miles_Pilling]

@patanna I know of someone who was told to go to work at a pub after testing positive. Seems the #NewNormal = F**k the weak, disabled and immunocompromised.

2. I already struggle to afford the £50.00 a month I pay so the increase will mean I'll stop getting my essential exercise. This is the reality of #ToryBritain and the NHS today.

1. I pay £12.00 to use an NHS hydrotherapy pool for 0.5 hours a week.
A few years ago it cost £4.00
Been told price going up again!
Also will be charged if less than 48 hours notice of illness cancellation given!
It is the only cardio exercise I can do as I have #mnd #Disabled
