Political point scoring at the expense of people with a learning disability is shameful and has no place anywhere in the world.

[Mencap @mencap_charity]

We expect more from senior political leaders. The current spat between President Trump and Governor Newsom, with both using slurs about intellectual ability, is unacceptable and deeply insulting to people with a learning disability.

@wesstreeting Thank you for saying this. It is such a significant statement. Totally agree with you on @DanielHewittITV ‘s film too. Very very powerful

Just seen at Westminister station, a series of messages from @mencap_charity on health inequalities for those with learning disabilities.

A reminder for politicians walking into the corridors of power —austerity has serious consequences and disabled people face its sharpest end.

[Jackie O'Sullivan @finferg]

@SKinnock @The_FSCC Totally agree - and so much support from everyone present to make it happen

Through our partnership with the British Gas Energy Trust, we have been able to respond to the increasingly complex Money and Energy advice enquiries that people with a learning disability, and their families are contacting us about, often at crisis point.

@Car_Abrahams They are also lucky to have recruited you!

Today's commitment from Government to modernise the Mental Health Act is an important step forward.

We have been campaigning along with many other organisations for this change.

Today on @BBCBreakfast: CSA's letter asking party leaders to #ShowUsYouCare and urgently prioritise social care funding and reform in the next parliament - anything less would be a betrayal.

[Mencap @mencap_charity]

We loved reading this story in The @guardian, with parents calling @LeicesterTigers rugby team for young people with Down Syndrome "a lifeline". 💗

It's great to see any opportunities for people with a #LearningDisability to take part in sport like this. 🏉

[Mencap @mencap_charity]

We're joining the #ShowUsYouCare campaign and asking all party leaders to promise to prioritise social care, so people with a learning disability can all get the support they need to live happy and healthy lives.

Will you sign our letter too? 👉 https://t.co/KWuMLyQMxq

My frustration at the lack of election debate around #socialcare spilled out into this. Keep a close eye on the manifestos. @EdwardJDavey @wesstreeting @victoriaatkins @DCPcampaign @CarersUK @alzheimerssoc @martinimarie #SEND https://t.co/0tgGyplgyV

[Jackie O'Sullivan @finferg]

Really clear asks - and we’re right behind you @mencap_charity

[ADASS @1adass]

#socialcare garnered just 36 seconds in the #itvdebate and yet is a hugely important issue affecting millions. That’s why we’re launching a set of asks that we want all parties to consider during the General Election campaign, and once in government, more info here 👇
