Great service from @BandQ - not. expected a delivery yesterday. No text, no delivery. Rang them today and after 3 minutes of jabbering to her mates on the other end, finally spoke to someone who said “technical issues” and delivery is next week. Solution? Find said item elsewhere

[Val Proctor @valproctor]

Worst service ever from @Victorianplumb - wrong tiles delivered and we can’t get anyone to collect for a refund. No phone number to contact either - never again!

📢 We’re calling for those who make decisions in Whitehall and Westminster to listen to the voices of learning disabled adults and to be part of the change we must see.

With the rush to get manifestos ready I hope that all political parties don’t forget to produce an Easy Read version and importantly publish it at the same time!

Lovely to see @RealKenBruce supporting learning disabled adults at the #leaderslist awards today. Thrilled that Rach, supported by @Hftonline, was a finalist!

[Mencap @mencap_charity]

We are deeply concerned by this report featured in the @guardian today.

New research from @resfoundation says single people with a long-term disability that stops them from working - including a #LearningDisability - could be £2800 worse off per year under Universal Credit.

@RebekahPierre92 Love the concept of allyship - watch this space for a campaign on this from @Hftonline!

@ali__gunn @RebekahPierre92 I'm expecting mine on the 18th!
