International Day of Disabled Do the tories care NO They want to see our bank accounts in case we commit fraud, Maybe they look to there own members first with amazing benefits they receive that are denied to old sick & disabled. Remember when the next election arrives in 2024.
Care costs should be paid for by the NHS instead of being financially raped by local councils!
Commonwealth Games organisers have been accused of “shocking” discrimination after disabled spectators were told to move from an accessible viewing area so they would not be seen in photographs of a table-tennis medal ceremony. #Birmingham2022 disabilitynewsservice.com/disabled-spect…
We don't shout things out from here, for the sake of it. We're not thugs, nor 'Trots'. We're decent and caring and capable of imagining just how much distress our vulnerable have felt this past 12+ years due to vile Tories, rotten policies, processes! We're FED UP with CORRUPT!
#Slater & Gordon Solicitors Like so many companies today they have you running around in circles because they ignore e-mails run telephone messages so we the "clients" are unable to speak to a human & sort problems instead use APP's that don't work. Fuming!!

Inspired by the DPO mapping work of @TheoBlackmore at @CornwallDC, DNS is embarking with some trepidation on a long-term project to report on every disabled people's organisation in the UK. Wish me luck. Here's the first story, with @WILTSCIL: disabilitynewsservice.com/co-production-…
The Department for Work and Pensions ignored leading academics after they published “hugely alarming” research that linked the work capability assessment with 600 suicides in just three years, MPs have been told. #DWP #WCA #BenefitDeaths disabilitynewsservice.com/dwp-ignored-hu…

Vodafone say nothing can be done to reduce my bill for my phone despite pointing out how costs have spiralled and the need to cut costs. Will not be staying with Vodafone when contract ends! 🙃
Hundreds of thousands of disabled people will each miss out on £650 in crucial support, because of the chancellor's failure to target new cost-of-living funding at some of the groups most in need, disabled campaigners have warned. #CostOfLivingCrisis disabilitynewsservice.com/governments-co…

Stop MPs claiming their rail tickets on paid expenses and watch how quickly their attitude to inflation busting rail fare hikes changes.

Priti Patel being compared to Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter is just so spot on. Rowling’s description of character; ‘An evil, cruel, strict, despicable woman who represented the worst of political power, under a saccharine image ... sadistic and overwhelmingly corrupt’. 😬
Johnson & Sunak chose to cut universal credit by £1040 pa; to cut pensions by £400 pa; to cut £5bl from the NHS budget; to load debt onto students; to raise workers taxes & to leave the most vulnerable freezing. They should be resigning for being heartless.

A potentially unpopular opinion and something I’ve advocated against for many years but referring to facilities for disabled people as disabled e.g., disabled toilets, parking bays and changing rooms, makes more sense than referring to them as accessible (1/5)
