We're always hearing that the Government want more Disabled people in work. But at the same time, they're cutting the support we need to keep our jobs. How does that make sense? 🤔 Use our easy tool to email your MP and help save Access to Work:

Good on NHS leader, Daniel Elkeles, calling for a revival of mask-wearing during the current “tidal wave of flu.” That trying to save lives is going to be highly controversial - and No. 10 are already sitting on the fence - is deeply depressing.

Over the last year, myths about the Motability scheme have spread online and in the right wing media. Now, some of it is government policy. In today’s Guardian, I set about finding the facts and why the idea of “free cars for the disabled” has taken hold.

“I know a disabled person who takes their Motability car on holiday” is an absolute zinger of a comeback. Famously, disabled people only go to the supermarket and hospital. I’d personally put a ban on mainland Europe.

So, Mercedes and BMW are no longer on the Motability scheme. Like anyone receiving PIP is not deserving of these luxury brands. We don't choose cars for luxury , we choose them for practicality, boot space etc .

ICE violently detained a 16 year old US citizen & sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back and neck. The kid was screaming “I’m underage! I was just going to school!” That didn’t stop ICE from putting a knee on his neck. Arnoldo Bazan didn’t deserve this. No one deserves this.

Disabled people are more likely to be victims of financial abuse. And the Universal Credit system makes that even more likely by not allowing them to have money if they live with a partner who earns/has some savings. It's a horrifically abusive system.
