In the '80s, I travelled blind with no tech, just instinct. Today, GPS and apps are everywhere, yet somehow the nerves still come along for the https://t.co/jxnusrpkM7 this week’s blog.

Today GDA members share Manifesto Ask 4: Make it Possible for disabled people to participate & to be represented in society.

Great to see Smug finishing off his stunning new mural of a Celtic woman on the gable end of the City Improvement Trust tenements on High Street.

After the original mural of St. Enoch and the infant St. Mungo was lost during recent tenement restoration works, I raised concerns with Wheatley Group and they agreed to commission a replacement.

Scottish Trans report highlights structural inequalities & intersectional barriers facing trans & non-binary disabled people.
The findings are unsurprising but is much needed research strengthening evidence of the harsh reality of disabled peoples lives.

Poverty is deepening.

🔎 Our #UKPoverty2026 report was launched this morning.

People in very deep poverty now make up the biggest group of people in poverty, at 6.8 million people.

This is unacceptable for the fifth richest country in the world, and it has consequences.

Never thought it would get to a stage where there would be an actual debate about the ethics of creating indecent images of kids and adults without their consent.

But here we are.

What a cesspit we live in.

Thanks @libby_brooks at The Guardian for covering my rejection of MBE for services to disabled people as I cannot accept a personal honour when disabled people are being so dishonoured at this time. Thanks too @BBCRadioScot for having me on to speak about disabled people's lives.

On #InternationalHumanRightsDay we're reflecting on GDA's 2025 Survey in which 91% of 756 respondents cited disabled people's equality & human rights as a key concern, due to disabled people being under attack & deprioritised, esp with cuts to benefits & vital supports & services

“Devastating” and “punitive” tax changes to the #Motability scheme that will add hundreds of pounds to upfront payments to lease cars are “baffling” and “unjust” and threaten to “lock disabled people out of daily life”, say campaigners.
