QUESTION TIME: #TheAssrmblyUK & #TheAssemblyIreland have hit TV screens on both sides of the Irish Sea during 2026. So how do the two versions of the show with #autistic, other #neurodivergent & #learningdisabled interviewers compare?.. https://t.co/EIUcGnkez3

NEW BLOG: #learningdisabled and #neurodiverse interviewer get stars to open up in @itv The Assembly Celebrities Assemble
Yes I’ve seen both ends of the range…Sat with #learningdisabled sister for 5 hours once, crowded unpleasant space, overhead tv showed local cafe selling unhealthy food…anyhow not within walking distance. You didn’t dare move unless you were called and missed it! We were triaged quickly, then just left to sit. Water was round a corner, not obvious. Supposedly fast tracked. We weren’t. There wasn’t a clinical need, true, but autistic behaviours soon became apparent. #LearningDisability nurse team ( excellent usually) uncontactable as this was outside their hours ( suspected leg injury, needed x ray to rule out)
A key part of safeguarding #Autistic/#LearningDisabled children is being *absolutely clear* with language and teaching them to do the same. Being ‘polite’, ‘courteous’ or ‘kind’ has no part in this because it creates confusion and therefore risk for the child.
‘A known problem, a clear remedy, a minister unwilling to act because the political cost of action outweighs, in their private calculation, the human cost of delay’
And stuck in the middle are the legal rights of #Autistic & #LearningDisabled women & girls who suffer real harm
Ambition Before Duty. The Minister Who Put Her Career Ahead of the Law.
Next Wednesday marks one year since the Supreme Court ruled, unanimously and without ambiguity, that sex under the Equality Act means biological sex. One year since the law was settled. One year since the Equality and Human Rights Commission drafted its code of practice setting out what that ruling requires of hospitals, schools, gyms and public bodies. One year since Bridget Phillipson received that code and chose to sit on it.
What has changed in twelve months is not the law. The judgment stands. The code is ready. What has changed is the credibility of the minister charged with implementing it. Baroness Falkner, who led the EHRC until November and oversaw the drafting of that code, has now said plainly what many had suspected: Phillipson is withholding guidance not because it requires further work, but because publishing it would cost her politically. The activist MPs whose votes she needs for promotion would not forgive her. So women wait, and the minister keeps her powder dry (Martin, 2026).
That is a specific accusation, made by a specific person with direct knowledge of the process. It is not a political opponent guessing at motive. Falkner submitted the code. She watched it stall. She knows what ready looks like, and she knows the guidance is ready. Her conclusion, that personal ambition is the operative factor, carries weight that no government spokesman can easily dismiss. The Labour response, that Falkner had demeaned the office she once held, did not address the substance. It attacked the witness. Which leaves the charge unanswered.
Consider what the title Secretary of State for Women and Equalities actually represents. Not a departmental portfolio in the ordinary sense, but a stated commitment, a promise woven into the office itself. To hold that title while deliberately withholding the legal protections owed to the women you nominally represent is a contradiction so stark it requires no elaboration. The office makes the accusation. Falkner supplies the motive. The anniversary provides the measure.
Falkner went further still, and her wider observation deserves to be heard. She drew a parallel with the grooming gangs scandal, noting that this government has a pattern of institutional inaction driven by fear of upsetting particular constituencies. The comparison is uncomfortable precisely because it is not new. The structure is familiar: a known problem, a clear remedy, a minister unwilling to act because the political cost of action outweighs, in their private calculation, the human cost of delay. Those doing the waiting are never the ministers.
Starmer's position is untenable on its own terms. He told Parliament the ruling must be implemented in full. His minister is arguing for a case-by-case approach that restores the incoherence the court rejected. He is a lawyer. He knows what a unanimous Supreme Court judgment means. He also knows what his backbenchers want. The gap between those two things is where women's rights currently reside.
The government's rebuttal speaks of sober leadership and treating everyone with dignity. Fine words. But dignity is not delivered by a code of practice that lives in a ministerial drawer. Protection is not real if it exists only in statute while the guidance that would make it operational is suppressed for career reasons. The court has done its work. The EHRC has done its work. One minister has not done hers.
"Phillipson is withholding guidance not because it requires further work, but because publishing it would cost her politically."

Everything @KishwerFalkner went through at @EHRC is dreadful. So many MPs & organisations are hiding behind this notion of EHRC guidance as a holy grail, instead of just following the law. They’re failing #Autistic #Disabled #LearningDisabled women & girls with their cowardice.
A story all too familiar to many of us, but still shocking to read. @KishwerFalkner always highly professional and brave whilst enduring this...
Baroness Falkner: Trans activists threatened me and my family

@Azeem_Majeed Totally applies outside medical contexts too…it’s the reason many families with #learningdisabled offspring prefer to keep the state out of their lives….
know what I learned from Zazen Buhddaism? (as taught to me by Mr. Master Bradley Warner?) I learned that, to avoid going #Kamikaze, it is best, to not go Kamikaze. of course, I am a diagnosed #learningdisabled I might have fubared my version of #enlightenment. #fleeting #feelings

This is incredibly important. Far too often #Autistic or #LearningDisabled people are fobbed off because it’s assumed they aren’t reliable witnesss to their own lives. It needs to change - lives depend on it.
#Oliverscampaign
This is exactly why Health & Care staff must complete The Oliver McGowan Mandatory training on learning disability & autism
She said she was very angry because I kept going & they kept saying it was old age They just kept fobbing us off

@Keir_Starmer & @bphillipsonMP We won’t stop lobbying until #Autistic girls & women have their right to single sex spaces implemented in law. That exceptionally vulnerable #LearningDisabled girls & women are guaranteed single sex care. A great march today! @acts_grassroots @LuxuryMoon @GCAutistic

One aspect not mentioned in all the coverage of the inquiry, is the number of victims who are #Autistic or #LearningDisabled It’s a significant factor as the vulnerability is often exploited as part of #CSE
https://t.co/bYQZnZtiqS

We support the victims & survivors & agree with them that transparency & accountability are essential here. They have been failed by those charged with their protection many times over and they deserve justice now.
The Grooming Gang failures are part of the widespread complete breakdown of safeguarding. #Safeguarding must now be restored & given primacy in line with the Children’s Act. Welfare of children must always be the priority & people’s personal, political & ideological agendas must not be allowed to get in the way of justice, accountability & strengthening safeguarding & child protection in the future.
#TheyKnew #RestoreSafeguarding
Anyone who has had contact with #NHS as supporting elderly relatives / #learningdisabled #Family members knows the chief issue is lack of connection, so a super connector-advocate might actually save £. #LearningDisability super nurses with matron status exist in one trust I know…but we need far more.
I often contact the #NW based #GP surgery accessed by my #LearningDisabled sister. They operate a friendly telephone access system, and have a dedicated doctor lead for #LearningDisability
The contrast with my own #SE based GP which only operates online access with grudging telephone support is huge. I know which one I prefer @careopinion
Ref #NHS digital appointments, I still prefer talking to a receptionist, however they are portrayed! A person is often best. Why not offer both? My local has been enforcing digital triage for months. The ratings of that practice are low.
I have a large #Family #archive documenting the turns of policy and Policy over the lifetime of said person. Some families pass on jewellery, trinkets, memorabilia. If you are a #LearningDisabled #family you will also, likely, have dozens of folders of stuff…because you have to claim/ object/ witness as well as record the nicer stuff. #DisabilityFamilyHistory
When they said I was “Xylesdic”, I thought it was over
