Disgraceful interview by David Mencer on @BBCr4today right now
Appalling , gut wrenching propaganda as children starve.
I despair at the depths humanity can sink to.
Shocking that this man was once a Director of Labour Friends of Israel
Well done @bbcnickrobinson for trying to hold him to account.

I know coverage of disability benefits can be very distressing. So, I’ve worked with colleagues to make a range of support visible on The Guardian’s site.

If you click on a relevant news story, you’ll see a “drop box” of signposted mental health help as well as benefits advice.

@daisthehale Wonderful!

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

When I wrote about assisted dying last month, I was told by advocates - including a nurse - that disabled people’s fears of a slippery slope is “propaganda” and hysterical. Consider that this is what The Times was willing to print. Imagine what these people are saying in private.

If you really want to know what the show is you can read a great critique of it by Morgan Skolnik here: https://t.co/G2U5lP0DcM 3/3

What I didn't need on #InternationalWheelchairDay was to go down a rabbit-hole reading numerous reviews of a revived show in which a wheelchair is used as a metaphor for powerlessness. As annoyed at the theatre critics giving it stars in 2024 as at the company for staging it 1/3

“It is easy to dismiss the dangers of a “slippery slope” when it is not you who is at risk of falling down it.”

Here’s the moral of the victorious campaign to stop disabled people being institutionalised: resistance is not futile.

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

A council has been told by disabled campaigners that a “discriminatory” draft policy that could force people with high support needs into residential care is “fundamentally flawed” and “rides roughshod” over its obligations under the Care Act.

@tonybutler1 @ward_esme @TonyButler22 Please if I can politely ask you to refrain from using this language, it is ableist and offensive.

This is happening with non-deaf people who did #Ableism when they watched #Tasha at @Channel4 #GBBO.
So I hope this article helps you understand why she and we did this. #ConcentrationFatigue

Sociologist, researcher and artist @tommyshakes will give a talk ‘Broken: Not Broken’ as part of our #SocialModelFest. A discourse on diversity, the power of self-identification, and how our differences leave their mark.

I so appreciate this sharp reframing of the endless, exhausting discussions on trigger warnings

Our Transforming Leadership National programme is in full swing!

Here are a few snaps of last week's London residencies.

We welcomed our partner organisations for the whole week and provided training for future learning disabled and autistic leaders in governance roles!
