Today we can confirm that Equal Pay Day 2024 will fall on 20th November. That's earlier than last year.
This means that the UK's mean Gender Pay Gap has sadly widened for the first time since 2013

Looking forward to next week's event at the Conduit with @jonjalex@martynsibley and @simonjduffy talking about what we can learn about the future of democracy from those living with disability. #EverydayCitizenship

@Liz_ORiordan This is super. Thank you. And (with much love and respect) we would encourage the non-use of ableist terms such as "crippled" in future. Just something to be mindful of.
Beyond seeing people with disabilities as individuals, it's about seeing them as citizens. Equal citizens with equal rights to the protections and resources the state provides in a time of crisis. Full stop. #EverydayCitizenship@simonjduffy
Today’s DCC statement shows that people with a disability, including learning disability, were not listened to throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to harmful policies neglecting their needs and seeing their health and wellbeing badly affected.
🏠 People with learning disabilities deserve homes, not hospitals. Despite government promises, many are still trapped in inpatient units. It's time for real change and support in the community💪
