A nation’s progress is also measured by how it welcomes all people with disabilities and particular needs. Their lives are not a burden on society. They are a blessing, because they can help us to remember the foundation of the dignity of every human being and what is truly important in life. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

Just a heads up to the disabled community. This subhuman treatment we've been experiencing from our own government for 16yrs, is absolutely by design. They want us beaten down & gone. Use your spite to rise above it (in absence of spoons)✊️✌️💞 #StrongerTogether

I can’t imagine how fearful disabled people must be. Politicians coming after them almost daily. Turn on twitter & read tweets about how disabled people are playing the system. Switch on the tv & watch chat show presenters arguing about the worth of disabled people. It’s horrific

Kemi Badenoch bemoans lack of "home grown" nurses, she was in the tory government that tripled tuition fees, scrapped education maintenance grants and allowances that helped poorer students, removed bursaries from nursing students, imposed years of pay freezes on NHS staff.

I’ve learned that physically healthy, able-bodied people think they can “earn” their health. That if they eat right, exercise, and “don’t be lazy,” they’ll be able-bodied forever. This belief is the insidious underbelly of every piece of disability or healthcare legislation.

One of the most effective ways to keep people from questioning an unjust system is to convince them that their ability to survive it makes them morally superior to those who can't.

Disability does not devalue disabled people. It is the lens of ableism that devalues disabled people.

The UK does not have a welfare crisis. It does, instead, have politicians who want to scapegoat the most vulnerable people in our society. Unscrupulous neoliberal politicians and commentators are our problem. Those in need are not. youtu.be/C89jDlwF1vs?si=LMYt…

Well said @RichardJMurphy: "Those demanding welfare payment cuts should make explicit that they: Want to increase inequality Think we have insufficient poverty Think the vulnerable should suffer more than they already do Are motivated by greed Then explain the costs of cuts"

Those demanding cuts in these payments have four things they should make explicit: 1. They should say they want to increase inequality 2. They should say they think we have insufficient poverty in the UK 3. They should make clear that the vulnerable should suffer more than they already do 4. They should make clear that greed motivates their every action Then they should say why: The vulnerable should be ignored Children should suffer extreme poverty After that, they need to explain what they think the costs of their action would be: Those from whom payments would be withdrawn To those who support those in need (many also live in poverty)

Who in the name of all things holy decided that it’s imperative that we “get the welfare bill down? The UK welfare bill is projected at £360+ billion (around 10.7% to 11% of GDP), remaining lower as a proportion of national income than it was 15 years ago or during the 1980s.

Reading through the OBR report, found this fascinating nugget given the current hysteria over benefits and disability support: welfare spending is actually 1.2% lower as a share of GDP than it was in 2012/13.

Why do Labour always attack young people, pensioners, disabled people? People who didn't cause the mess we're in? Why not take on corporate parasites, energy companies, water companies, private equity, landlords?

Tesco are making £4bn a year in profit. About 50% of their staff are on Universal Credit. Why don't we crackdown on this unneeded benefit for billionaires?

Eye gaze technology has finally given Milo a voice. Now he could lose it. He's 14, non-verbal, needs 24-hour care, and because he's been out of education, the NHS won't fund the device he can clearly use. His family need to raise £10,000.
A promotional image supporting Milo's fundraiser to keep his eye gaze communication device. The post explains that Milo, a 14-year-old with a rare condition, is at risk of losing the technology that has given him a way to communicate because NHS funding is unavailable. It includes a call to donate or share the fundraiser.

I wish more people understood that disability is universal. You will experience disability at some point in your life, whether from accident, illness, old age, or even temporary disability. Please advocate for accessibility because it literally benefits everyone.

Nearly half of people who apply for PIP are in work and use the funds to enable themselves to stay in work. Cutting PIP will add to the welfare budget as those people will no longer be able to stay in the work force.
