Two years ago today, I stood with deaf and disabled people at the UN in Geneva, challenging the UK’s failures on our rights.
It was also the beginning of @DPACNIreland.
Proud of what started, but the fight goes on.

Despite my wheelchair going up in smoke whilst in London, I had a great 2024.
If 2025 is anything similar, I'm in for another good year. Just hope the wheelchair remains in one piece 😉
Goodnight

Deaf and Disabled People must rise up and #DefendOurRights . 14 years of Tory Government has pushed us deeper into poverty.

Universal Credit are ringing me about every little discrepancy they find, which has ALWAYS been THEIR error.
Yet people like Suelia Braverman can fleece the taxpayers and get away with it without recrimination or penalty?

Suella Braverman used £25k of expenses to pay her parents Energy Bills for 5 years when she occasionally stayed there rent free.
Then she calls other people scroungers.
No comments from deaf and disabled people on how amazing Keir Starmer's Labour Government will be for us? 🤔

Still making your mind up about who to vote for at the general election?
Watch this 👇
Anyone who's recently interacted with the benefit system will know that it’s neither generous or easy to access... in fact, the situation is so dire a UN committee recently found our govt has “undermined the human dignity” of disabled people. #CRDP24

Forging links between them, myself, @MyWayAccess and @DPACni.
Time for action is now.

We are denied the benefits we need to live + called undeserving. This toxic government rhetoric has recently been found by the UN to be a fundamental part of the 'grave and systematic' rights violations we are subjected to as Disabled people in the UK. #CRDP24
“These statistics show that PIP is not an easy benefit to get, contrary to current government rhetoric, which says that too many people claim benefits and that they are undeserving,” said Rensa Gaunt of @InclusionLondon

Yesterday, I was part of a delegation of deaf and disabled people at Stormont to fight for our rights and get a full Disability Strategy
#CRDP #CRDP24 #UNCRPD #Disabled #Disability #DisabledLife #DefendOurRights
Disabled People's Organisations (DPOs) met @CommunitiesNI's Committee at @niassembly to discuss the Disability Strategy for Northern Ireland, the UNCRPD and the failures to deliver human rights legislation.

Thank you Danny, your support in the Assembly was much appreciated.
It's important that the UNCRPD is implemented into domestic law fully before the end of this mandate.
Too many deaf and disabled people's lives are at risk without it.

Read the comments here and on Facebook to see the contempt some people have towards deaf and disabled people.
I've been called "left woke moaner" to others, saying, "we can't have anything nice."
This ignorance understanding of our needs and our human rights is symptomatic of the narrative the Tory Government has been putting out about us.
With changes to #PIP and UK Government not showing up to @UNGeneva for questioning over UNCRPD, they are sending out a message that we don't matter.
Certain sections of the population are using that to push against us and our basic human rights.

@rossalliance @niassembly @DannyDonnelly1 @allianceparty @DPACni @MyWayAccess @gofefoame Great stuff Ross. We can't afford to let this rest, especially on the back of the Tory Government's reform plans for #PIP and vouchers. Lives are at risk.

(1/2) Read our analysis of the Government's latest attacks on our rights. PIP is an essential benefit that we rely on for some of the extra costs of being Disabled. We are fighting back against these proposals, which will only happen if ...
