this is why the motability tracker was an incitement to violence and we all knew it. congratulations to everyone - including journalists - who participated in the online harassment of disabled people. here are your real-world consequences
Disabled drivers who use blue badges are facing “terrifying” levels of threats, verbal abuse and violent attacks trib.al/eV7FZaS
With chronic illness some “support” is really just pressure with a nicer tone. “Come on, you’ll feel better if you get out.” “Just push a little.” “You’ll regret staying home.” This isn’t support. It’s encouraging someone to ignore their limits and deal with the fallout alone.
🚨🚨PLEASE SHARE 🚨🚨 Lancashire care workers and residents face vicious attacks by the new Reform UK council. Five care homes and day centres are ‘under review’. If these vital care services close, 300 people could lose their jobs and hundreds of people may lose their homes.
BREAKING: Labour will lift 450,000 children out of poverty by removing the two-child limit.
Once again; anyone that uses the phrase 'genuinely disabled' doesn't care about ANY disabled people.
Hi, we’re giving you literally nothing. Not a penny off your vastly expensive rail fares. Not a single cut to any fare. Now be grateful, plebs, at how generous we are not to charge you *even more*.
Millions of rail passengers across the country are set to benefit from a freeze on rail fares, helping with the cost of living. The freeze means passengers won't pay a penny more on season tickets, peak returns for commuters and off-peak returns between major cities. This will…
Oh joy it’s let’s only care about disabled people when it’s capitalism day. Crass as fuck to only care about disabled people’s “spending power” at a time when disabled people are being attacked left right and centre for daring to live our lives and spend the little money we have
The #PurplePound is now worth an incredible £446 Billion! 🤯 Don't see accessibility as a checkbox, see it as a massive growth opportunity. Ignoring accessibility means ignoring millions of customers and £446bn in spending power. #PurpleTuesday #InclusiveBusiness
Unity over division? You and your ilk have stirred up the shit-storm of all shit-storms of division and hate against disabled and vulnerable people.
We’re choosing renewal over decline. Unity over division. Unlocking the potential of everyone in every part of the UK.
Reminder that Marie voted for the cuts
I am grateful to @stephenctimms for engaging with disabled people and disability organisations on how the review of PIP can best be co-produced, and for taking the feedback on board in the Terms of Reference. Thanks to this Government, disabled people's voices will be heard.
💥 Myth-Busting: Being Disabled in the UK Being disabled in the UK comes with a lot of assumptions — and many of them are flat-out wrong. Let’s break down a few of the biggest myths 👇 Myth 1: “Disabled people get loads of free money and benefits.” 💬 Reality: Most disabled…
Your patriotism is about excluding disabled people from society
For me, patriotism is about pride. It's about serving an interest that is more than yourself. Rebuilding our public services. Growing our economy from the grassroots. Renewing our country. Until we can say with total conviction: Britain is built for all.
Work coaches do not belong in GP surgeries.
You get cars based on how many points you score for mobility on your PIP assessment, not for a specific illness. Kemi knows this, other politicians spouting it know this and so do all the news orgs sharing this btw
🚨🎥 WATCH: Kemi Badenoch announces Motability cars will be for those with serious disabilities only "Those cars are not for people with ADHD"
Let’s see you apply for PIP/Disability benefits without any diagnosis and without having to provide medical evidence
’You can access £60,000 of benefits for a medical condition without a diagnosis.' ‘Make that make sense.’ @TomSwarbrick1 believes ‘something’s gone wrong’ with the UK’s welfare system.
What McFadden isn't saying here is that getting "more young people into work" will involve removing lifeline support & protections Autumn White Paper is expected to detail the auto-disqualification of under 22s from qualifying for incapacity benefits, LCW/LCWRA/ESA #CareNotCuts
"My first priority coming into the Department is to do more to get young people into work" Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden outlined on @timesradio how giving young people the opportunity and skills to get into good, productive work is his early area of focus at the DWP
1/ @Nigel_Farage says disabled people are “put on a register” at 18. ❌ That’s not true. There is no national disability register in the UK.
More young people will face homelessness – and even criminalisation – because the White Paper removes access to Universal Credit Health for under-22s. This cuts off a vital lifeline, stripping away financial support and driving deeper poverty and disenfranchisement.
"Jacob's story really brings home what can happen when people get the support they need" - Minister for Social Security and Disability Sir Stephen Timms @greatermcr's Pathfinder and @EarlyBreakUK can be the difference between homelessness and a better life
If you have disability or chronic illness, you should not have to forced justify your existence and forced to fight tooth and nail to get even basic support. A civilised society looks after all its citizens, not just the ones who can work or who don’t need support.
