This is the link to the speech I made at a fringe event of the @UKLabour party conference about the marginalisation of disabled people. https://t.co/o1LIBMS7qj…
I want to make it very clear unlike @lucianaberger I believe it is important to fight ALL forms of discrimination by working WITH @UKLabour to be a more equal party.
@AndyBurnhamGM When will you ensure disabled people with mobility issues get accessible housing? Seems disabled people are never on your agenda. #disability#housing
#granadanews@GranadaReports banning dogs from public spaces would mean many disabled people with assistance dogs will be trapped in their homes. Yet again disabled people will be discriminated against thanks to non disabled politicians making discriminatory decisions.
This shows the contempt @KateHoeyMP has for democracy. She shows she cannot give a straight answer to any straight question on #Brexit. She has told so much lies it is not funny!
#Areyousure? Here is the evidence you might have been looking for - in May this year I asked you, being a Leaver, a perfectly reasonable question - #HowDoesBrexitBenefitMe?
If that question is threatening, maybe we really should have a #FinalSay on it?

@KateHoeyMP Usual I’m alright Jack attitude from @KateHoeyMP who has a Parliamentary salary and pension and bugger all us who don’t have that luxury. That is why it is no problem for her!
@LauraPidcockMP 100% of austerity burden falls on disabled people. Why are you silent on that? Austerity cuts have affected every disabled person. We are the least represented group and the most adversely affected by political decisions and policies.
@JennieGenSec @JennieGenSec why do you not recognise that domestic violence happens to both sexes? Men suffer from #domesticviolence too yet they get little support.
Commons Chamber packed out with Tory MPs shouting & bawling about words, which were never spoken. And yet a fellow human being dies on the doorstep of Parliament and they barely say a word. Shameful. “Homeless man found opposite Houses of Parliament dies” https://t.co/6e5MifgAtr
@RotaryTameside Don’t forget Ashton! The Tameside Councillors and @tmbc_leader seem to have decided to cancel Christmas for Ashton this year! Shameful decorations. No Tree! #ashtonthetownChristmasforgot.
Please if you show students this tell them that 20% of the population are disabled but less than 1% identify as disabled. Disabled people are the least represented and most adversely affected by political decisions.
@AngelaRayner Ashton-under-Lyne the #TownThatChristmasForgot? Seems @tmbc_leader and @tmbc_culture have forgotten Ashton? I wonder where the council tree and decorations are? I would have loved to show a lovely civic tree and decorations but @tmbc_leader has turned Grinch!
Absolutely disgraceful waste of money, Tories can always find money for propaganda purposes but are quick to make cuts to the poor, sick and disabled...
@johnmcdonnellMP Would you be willing to pledge your support for Fair Representation for Disabled People politically and to work with Project 125 to address the current under representation of disabled people in Parliament and @UKLabour ?
