ONS data from June 2020 confirmed Disabled people were dying disproportionately in the pandemic.

Despite this, Yvonne Doyle, Former Director at PHE confirms the reasons for this were not examined at all in a PHE report on C19 disparities of August 2020. DPOs demand to know why!

More than a third of the work coaches on a single floor of a jobcentre experienced a mental health crisis in less than a year, due to the “dysfunctional” Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and its “toxic” policies, whistleblowers have revealed.

The Department for Work and Pensions should not have stopped the benefits of a disabled man who later starved to death, an updated safeguarding review has found after being shown information DWP hid from its original inquiry.

In 1981, Dr. Michael Shannon worked tirelessly through the night to successfully rescue a premature baby boy.

30 years later, in 2011, Dr. Shannon was trapped in his burning SUV following a collision with a semi-truck.

Miraculously, he was rescued from the blazing vehicle by Chris Trokey, a paramedic with the Orange County Fire Authority.

Remarkably, it was revealed that Chris Trokey was the same premature baby Dr. Shannon had delivered three decades earlier.

The covid inquiry this week has confirmed what we always knew: disabled and older people’s lives were seen by ministers as disposable. https://t.co/uvR4oSEgmQ

As we finally secure a tiny sliver of justice for the family of Errol Graham, please visit Museum of Austerity, which captures the testimony of his family and others who lost relatives due to #DWP violence.

Sorry but the Covid inquiry is important because “we need to prepare for the next pandemic” is peak non-disabled commentary. *This* pandemic is still very much relevant for millions of disabled people, from the decision to let NHS staff work whilst Covid+ to indefinite shielding.

First, I just want to thank you to all those who voted and endorse me.

Secondly, commiseration to @Ria__Patel and @CouldBeKel on they well fought campaign. The E+D Coordinator and Spokesperson will be working together.

Lastly, to all SIG groups I will be an unifying force.

Wow. This was a special moment. I think Dad would be pretty proud that we’ve become the first to successfully breed the turtle that he discovered. A rare, and unique species under threat in the wild has just been given a second chance.

I’m so angry at the world.
I’m so sick & tired of all the innocents paying the highest costs in war.
Innocents of ANY side, ANY faith, ANY gender.
I’m so utterly heartbroken that children are always the innocent victims of adults hate.
The world is sick.

Changes voted through by Labour at its annual conference this week have further marginalised disabled people within the party, activists have warned.

When Godoma was rescued from the bottom of a well in 2015, she was battered & bruised from her desperate attempts to free herself. Worse still were her emotional scars. But she had a willingness to live within. Read her story: https://t.co/FffsvQMCSN
