Here’s what the government should do if they’re serious about getting disabled people into work:

❌ Stop attacking benefit claimants with cheap soundbites.
✅ Address the real barriers that people face getting into work.

🦊Competition time! Foxes and tea and biscuits! To celebrate the high days of summer, I'm giving away a signed edition of my 'Reynard the Fox' book, a copy of the accompanying gold-tipped 'A Fox for All Seasons' journal, both with map endpapers & fine ribbons, a box of Fox's biscuits, a large packet of best Dorset tea and a charming fox companion! Simply like, retweet & follow to enter! A winner will be picked on Sunday.

Sympathy follows disabled people around. It's often pitying, and isn't a real effort to listen and understand.

🤝 Solidarity steps up. It's unity and support. It's important.

Disabled people don't need your sympathy. But solidarity and allyship? That's the good stuff 💜

@pleomorphic2 @FlashFicFest @nomad_sw18 @hilary553 @JoyceBingham10 @SharonBoyle50 Sorry I missed this, especially as you travelled half way round the world! Glad you all had a great weekend though. Flash Frantics is the best community 🥰

Genuinely shocked at the state of local #NHS mental health crisis support. Spent last night supporting my lovely son through a horrible time. Local crisis team has closed down, and police have stopped “dealing with mental illness”, so we were directed to NHS 111 and their supposed “mental health crisis line”. Sat for about an hour in a queue and no one answered!! In the end we managed to talk him out of taking his own life but only because we are both mental health workers! @UKLabour please, please make urgent changes to #saveourNHS

Britain’s human rights watchdog is investigating the Department for Work and Pensions.

Our degrading benefits system has failed disabled people for decades.

This inquiry is long overdue.

@welshflier @SarahMarieOB Wow, that is fantastic. Not sure we have the same standard of service in Cardiff.

Enough is enough. Disabled people are not the problem.

Last week the Prime Minister made a speech about so-called 'sicknote culture'. He also proposed major changes to disability benefits.

Today we're launching a petition in response to this full-on assault of disabled people.
