Unfortunate that many people won't be able to attend today's BLM protest because of Covid-19. Remember that those at home are still fully supportive! #BlackLivesMattters

This seems too perfect. From Brewer's Britain and Ireland, 2005. "That's Barney Castle" meaning "That's a pathetic excuse"

I never thought I would use twitter to beg for my life. I'm angry and scared. We are all being betrayed if we let our most vulnerable people die. youtu.be/EcRtAsdpg30 @TheBMA @BnsJaneCampbell @Tanni_GT @DHSCgovuk @guardian @rarediseaseuk @GeneticAlliance

We at DMD Pathfinders are also deeply concerned about the following issue and fully support @MDUK_News in the action they are taking musculardystrophyuk.org/pres… #DMDAdultLiving #COVID19 #WeHaveQualityOfLifeToo
Advice from CHC "The advice is that budget holders provide a letter for PAs stating that that they are employed private carers; shopping on your behalf due to your health needs and that you are in receipt of health funding." 1/2

We had the extremely vulnerable group #COVID19 and how to keep them safe. When will we have guidance on the vulnerable?#neuromuscular #duchenne #spinalmuscularatrophy @ScotGovFM @CathCalderwood1 @jasonleitch @alisonstrath @MDUK_News @bp951927 @markichapman @Fegan

I have 2 personal care assistants off sick so far. Given the absence of testing I'll probably have no idea if they've had Covid-19, when to allow them back to work, and what risk they pose to me. This just makes it harder to stay safe.

Do we HAVE to have a storm every fucking weekend now? Is that it? 2020, post Brexit, and all we’ve had are fucking storms and diseases. I might move to a tiny tiny island and live out my days in a coconut bra eating bananas and fish I’ve caught using my knickers.

'I like many of the 13.9 million disabled people living in the UK find accessing toilets that truly meet my needs is a daily struggle and ultimately can impact well-being, mental health and independence' @samrenke on the importance of #accessible toilets. qoo.ly/33dhed
