Rachael Field has been denied PIP despite having tongue cancer and being given around 3 years left to live. This is the 4th time she’s faced cancer within 6 years.
She cannot eat, talk, dress herself or use the bathroom independently. This is diabolical!

It's a busy news day, but this from Haringey is outrageous.
Today the Regulator of Social Housing published an inspection, and it turns out the previous Labour council seemingly misled them about thousands of fire-safety issues in local council housing.

6 in 10 carers who faced issues working while claiming Carer’s Allowance said it affected their ability to work. 4 in 10 said they’d left work because of it.
Removing the earnings limit cliff edge is a major breakthrough after years of campaigning.

Below this, in a larger, bold font, is the headline: "Earnings cliff edge in Carer's Allowance to be scrapped". In the bottom right corner is the white logo for "carers uk", which includes an icon of three stylized, interlocking figures.

Not to brag, but I was supposed to be dead before 18, had barely any secondary education or standard grades, and yesterday I graduated with a 2:1 honours degree in Psychology and Counselling.
What a fucking plot twist.

How on earth did the 'pedestrianisation' of a bit of Oxford St cost £150 million? Could @MayorofLondon give us an itemised bill?
SEN Lisa ❤️💙 retweeted
Entirely predictable, sadly.
I should think they will never try and have it here again.
Regent Street was blocked up for so long a rubbish lorry tried to pull out of the traffic at Oxford Circus and turn round.

Today was the first day of @MayorofLondon Oxford Street pedestrianisation

Went to Oxford Street to try out the pedestrian zone. Oh dear. Accessibility? Nah yet again.

On SNJ Today: SNJ's @CaptainK77 is on the case, scouring LAs' new SEND Reform Plans that will dictate future local provision. Most he's seen are partly AI-generated—and there are huge hidden risks even LAs can't ignore specialneedsjungle.com/ai-lo… #sendreform #SaveSENDLegalRights

Despite repeated reports to Peabody, Kent House stairwells remain pitch black, including designated fire escape routes.
Residents have been left in darkness for days. This is a serious safety concern.
How much longer must residents wait for basic repairs?

When Disabled people are repeatedly framed as a cost, it affects how society sees us. @Channel4's The Experiment confronts ableism, segregation and the consequences of devaluing Disabled lives.

On SNJ Today: A raft of government-commissioned research reports has brought to light evidence sounding the alarm that mainstream SEND capacity is not where it needs to be to make its SEND proposals a success. specialneedsjungle.com/gover…

I would happily feed into this my perpetrator is released on a gps tag - a gps tag they could not even fit for weeks after release as he gave a false address to the @metpoliceuk @SurreyPolice the old bailey, Staines magistrates court, probation etc 🙄 the whole system is flawed!

It’s becoming increasingly obvious that they have no idea what they are doing.

This is the result of years of underinvestment and the implementation of behaviourism as a cost-effective alternative to building specialist schools. Resource hubs or bases cannot and do not provide some SEND children with an environment that is accommodating for their needs.

I am so relieved that this report is saying that what we all knew and the toxic ‘over diagnosis’ and ‘snow flake’ slurs , can be shut down. It’s been harrowing for our young and their parents and costly! The prevailing narrative and lack of action has been totally unacceptable.

Who knew? Think tank @instituteforgov says Labour’s SEND proposals risk "unravelling" as parents rush to secure EHCPs before any changes. An IoG report says the plans may be too optimistic & too fast, risking basing plans on undeliverable assumptions theguardian.com/education/20…
