I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents. I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights. sianberry.org.uk/publications/l…

Imagine landing an interview for your dream job. But you don't own a laptop, and you can’t afford internet or phone data – all of which are essential when so many interviews are online. People receiving Universal Credit are plunged into impossible situations like this every day. It’s not right.

After being used in WW2 compulsory ID cards were abolished in 1952 because of the widespread sentiment that they are fundamentally at odds with British values and civil liberties. That was true then and it’s true now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

State of the world, in one news story: Tony Blair in discussions to run transitional Gaza authority, BBC understands www.bbc.com/news/article...

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has whipped up hostility towards disabled people by suggesting there is widespread fraud among claimants of PIP, despite his own work and pensions spokesperson linking similar unfounded attacks to the far right. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/davey-stirs-...

This is hugely worth your time.

I don't think anyone in the community who campaigns pro or anti psychiatry should be as lauded and uncritically platformed as Moncrieff is. Because this is the result, their dogma becomes politically useful. And I don't believe any Dr who claims GB news is a neutral media platform.

Migrants are being scapegoated. It is a distraction from the real problems people are facing: homelessness, hunger and discrimination. Poverty is a political choice, founded in inequality. Instead of anti-migrant hate and blame, we need real action.

❗ ICYMI: Over 14 MILLION people faced hunger across UK last year. People don’t have enough money to survive. We live in one of the richest countries in the world – how can this be happening?!

Today’s autism announcement was just as bad as we feared Trump blamed Tylenol & vaccines for autism They encouraged women to just “tough out” their pain They praised people who don’t “need” meds or vaccines These are eugenicist talking points & they’re devastating to the disability community:

It's starting again. Half the amount new claimants receive for the health element of UC and then start mandating work courses for those that are still in receipt of the FULL CORRECT amount. Just leave me the fvck alone. Please.

Get rid of Liz Kendall, and they get replaced by some ghoul who wants people to be bullied even more by the DWP when they’re too unwell to work... www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/cost-of...

"By relentlessly painting refugees and migrants as a violent, existential threat, media outlets risk making racist attacks seem more acceptable" bylinetimes.com/2025/09/18/g...

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”. So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

The price of food and bills have sky-rocketed, but support like Universal Credit isn't keeping up. People literally don't have enough money to live on, and they're having to turn to food banks just to survive. This isn't right. And it doesn't have to be this way 💚

🚨 NEW: More than two million households plan to avoid turning on their central heating this winter over fears of soaring energy bills, a new survey has found. We speak to families across the UK every week who tell us they simply cannot afford to put the heating on. 1/3

PSA: there’s more people facing hunger in the UK than the combined populations of London, Manchester and Glasgow.

We couldn't be in better company! @asylummagazine.bsky.social 😊

My council tax is £1,184 Buckingham Palace's is £1,828 What’s yours? #KingsRansom£1828

A disabled person shouldn’t ever feel they have to “prove” themselves to random ableists online (or in-person). Whether that be about their health conditions, or how they spend their money… it’s none of their business, and the person only need share what they choose to.

was interviewed by @johnpring.bsky.social for Disability News Serivce about my response to the far right gathering last weekend, and my disappointment that racist disabled people don't see they will be victims of fascism too www.disabilitynewsservice.com/disabled-peo...
