Everyone deserve to live with bullying and harassment for who they are. BUT Hate crime against Disabled people is rising and too often ignored and unreported.

No one should have to eat food that makes them sick or go without staples everyone else can enjoy.
The true cost of a gluten-free loaf?
The NHS in the NE is proposing cutting prescriptions for gluten-free food. The reason? Budget control. The reality? A severe financial barrier

The Universal Credit Bill passed. Only 9 North East MPs voted to protect disabled people. 20 voted for cuts. We fought. We won changes. But it’s not enough. Now we rest and resist!
Tag your MP if they didn’t vote with us. Ask them why.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨🚨🚨
The United Nations is calling for the UK Government to stop the Universal Credit (PIP) Bill because it will 'deepen the signs of regression' in disabled people's human rights.

[Rosemary Frazer @RosemaryFrazer]

Labour has a Disability problem. I don't think many at a senior level realise that, it's hard for anyone to admit prejudice. Nevertheless it's there in their language and behaviours. They can change this, but they have to want to do it.
