@afrodeegee @fidgetsfive @luxemiaa A bit weird to be honest, she has ever right to a happy life, if that means she has boundaries its fair to make them clear. I think people find it easy to conflate personal suffering with someone else business. Not yo kids...

Imagine if this was worse, it could of been tragic and yet its avoidable. Communication is key to success in any endeavour, especially ones which are undertaken by medical professionals and patients.
Something as simple as a jab could be potentially dangerous if you can't communicate to an understanding of what's happening.
Well this is what's happening to patients with disabilities.

Here’s hoping this expose helps halt this unacceptable infringement of Deaf people’s right to make informed medical choices through their chosen communication professionals. BBC News - Deaf patient given wrong jab due to sign language error, report says -

[VOICES ADFOCAD @VoicesWales]

Unpaid carers deserve to be celebrated in a space that reflects dignity, respect, and truth. Jeremy Vine’s long‑standing pattern of allowing misinformation about disability benefits and poverty to go unchallenged has caused real harm to disabled people and the carers who support them. His commentary has contributed to stigma, disbelief, and public hostility the very barriers carers face every day.

Carers UK’s Awards should be a safe and empowering moment for the caring community. Choosing a host whose public record includes repeated amplification of damaging narratives is incompatible with that purpose. We urge Carers UK to reconsider this decision and to work with carers and disabled people to identify a host who embodies the values of accuracy, solidarity, and respect.

We've seen the response to the announcement of Jeremy Vine as host of this year's Carers UK Awards and want to address it directly.

@CarersUK a bullshit charity who claims to champion unpaid carers. Don't trust charity - They do nothing but make the disabled look bad, Grass roots charities are always better and wholly ignored!!

[Disability Enterprise @disabilityBiz]

@MikScarlet It was always the plan, left wing, right wing, doesn't matter. Only profit matters.

[Disability Enterprise @disabilityBiz]

Imagine telling @10DowningStreet

"Disabled people will be block voting in the future. Way to start making the biggest voting capable group in the UK happy"!

At the moment ideology divides disabled people but it won't when it comes to one thing! Can you guess what it is?

[Disability Enterprise @disabilityBiz]

@EndTheShitShow @Nigel_Farage @Justice4Otzi Well the disabled vote is a block and Nigel just lost it by no divide.

[Disability Enterprise @disabilityBiz]

You can lease a brand new car giving up part of your PIP or you can save and buy a new wheelchair - Make it make sense!!

[Disability Enterprise @disabilityBiz]

The average second hand car £4000
The average new wheelchair £4000

Make it make sense!!

Have you got ADHD ?? Living in the UK? You're in, great!

[ADHD UK @ADHDUKcharity]

Channel 4 has aired "The Great ADHD Myth?". Together, we're responding. Please consider filling in our survey and complaining to Ofcom.

Tell us the impact: our survey is collecting the evidence of what this programme has actually done - to how people see ADHD, and to people with it. A few minutes, anonymous, and it builds the record we'll take to Ofcom and Parliament.

Complain to the regulator: our page has a ready-made Ofcom complaint: customisable, copy, paste.

🚨 DISABLED UK POWERBALL PLAYERS: READ THE TERMS BEFORE PAYING £4 A LINE.

@TNLUK @allwynuk @GamRegGB

I actually read the Powerball rules.

This is NOT simply the American $2 Powerball being sold in Britain in pounds. There are major differences UK players should understand.

🔴 UK players pay £4. US players pay $2.

Yet Powerball's own official FAQ says:

Each UK play contributes the same fixed US-dollar amount per play to the jackpot as a ticket sold in the United States.

Only the JACKPOT is pooled.

UK lower-tier prize money is separate and the payouts are different.

So where exactly is the rest of each £4 UK ticket allocated?

🔴 WIN £300 MILLION? YOU DON'T GET £300 MILLION.

A UK jackpot winner has NO CASH OPTION.

The prize is compulsorily paid over 30 years.

US winners can choose between the annuity OR taking the jackpot's cash value.

UK winners cannot.

Powerball's annuity structure is one initial payment followed by 29 payments increasing by 5% every year.

That means the first payment is only around 1.5% of the advertised annuity total.

A £300m jackpot on that schedule starts at roughly £4.5m in year one.

The huge number being advertised is the TOTAL of decades of future payments.

🔴 AND READ RULE 3 OF THE UK TERMS.

The Jackpot Prize Fund originates in the US.

UK jackpot winners must complete US tax forms.

The rules state that, depending on the winner's circumstances, US withholding tax may be deducted by MUSL before the money is transferred to Allwyn, or by Allwyn and/or the Annuity Provider.

That's not speculation. That's their wording.

The rules also say the annual payments contain both a capital and interest element, and that while the capital element is usually tax-free, the interest element is subject to applicable tax.

So this can involve:

MUSL 🇺🇸
⬇️
Allwyn
⬇️
Annuity Provider
⬇️
Winner
over THIRTY YEARS.

🔴 WHY SHOULD DISABLED PEOPLE PARTICULARLY READ THIS?
PIP itself is not means-tested — you can have savings and continue receiving PIP.
Universal Credit is different.
https://t.co/WrF6ZtmcDo says:
• under £6,000 capital: normally no effect
• £6,000–£16,000: UC is reduced
• over £16,000: normally no entitlement to UC

So disabled households reliant on means-tested support need to understand exactly what a Powerball annuity payment could mean financially.

That issue applies to lottery winnings generally — but here we're talking about a compulsory 30-year payment structure rather than the normal UK expectation of receiving a jackpot outright.

And @GamRegGB approved this game specifically citing:

“transparency and support to players around the rules of the game.”

Good.

Then let's have transparency.
@TNLUK @allwynuk:
Publish exactly where every £4 UK ticket goes.

Make it prominent that UK winners have no lump-sum option.

Make the 30-year payment schedule and first-year payment obvious in the advertising — not buried behind a headline jackpot.

Clearly explain MUSL, the Annuity Provider, US tax documentation and possible withholding.

Clearly explain that the annuity contains an interest component which the rules say can be taxable.

Disabled consumers deserve accessible information before gambling, not after winning.
