Kemi Badenoch has said she does not believe one in four people are disabled. I don’t believe Kemi Badenoch is a decent human being and capable politician. We’ve all got our views, Kemi!

"In co-produced research building in access to welfare advice is essential because that allows equal access to participation" Julia Lawrence, IPSA project www.housinglin.org.uk/Topics/brows... @kirstyliddiard1.bsky.social

#TCC2025 fascinating research from Rachel Crossdale #archives #carers @sheffielduni.bsky.social

My first PhD paper is officially out in Social Science and Medicine!! It is called 'The unmothering of care: childhood disability, structural violence, and the politicisation of motherhood' and draws on ethnographic fieldwork with mothers raising disabled children in Barranquilla, Colombia

Depressing to hear the lack of planning for older people with learning disabilities being repeated in Finland too. "People with intellectual disabilities are not seen as 'equal citizens' in health and aging services" #TCC2025 @sarasiobhan.bsky.social

The government’s disability cuts could breach equality law due to their “devastating” impact on women’s dignity, experts warn.  The new rules won’t take into account menstruation or some women’s extra toilet needs.  My story in tomorrow’s paper: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Really interesting session at #TCC2025, care and technology are deeply entangled, shaping the ways in which care is both conceptualised & practiced ... #AI #DigitalTechnology #WelfareTechnology

Good to see today’s Guardian Editorial mention my story that women will lose out under the new PIP rules. If a system leaves women sitting in her bloodied underwear because she can no longer pay the care worker that used to help her get to the toilet, it is one no MP should be backing.

Really interesting session #TCC2025 on care and technology. As new technologies are shaping the ways in which care is conceptualised and practiced ...

#CentreForCare's Kate Hamblin talking about the complex entanglements of technology and care

“Almost every cabinet minister was asked to call up Labour MPs to get them to back down and the numbers just went up” Chief political correspondent Henry Zeffman tells #BBCBreakfast about the growing rebellion from Labour MPs over the government's planned welfare changes

Keir Starmer vows to press on with welfare cuts as rebellion grows. Wrong. Listen to the poor, sick, disabled; your backbenchers. Govt can cut corporate welfare, tax the rich. HMRC didn't collect £46.8bn of taxes last yr. We are all one illness/accident away from needing benefits Oppose the cuts

Lovely to see so many @nihrsscr.bsky.social colleagues here at #TCC2025

The wonderful @margaleon.bsky.social delivering the opening keynote at the @tcaren.bsky.social conference in Helsinki in the rather magnificent great hall of Helsinki University #TCC2025

I want to see non-disabled people shouting about the disability benefit cuts. If you spoke out about trans rights, abortion rights, or migrant rights in recent weeks? Good on you! If you aren’t doing the same for disabled people, ask yourself why.

This is just disgraceful. Jess's Access to Work package cut by 61% by the 'Party of work' planning the biggest cut to disability benefits ever. Utterly shameful. indeedhttps://www.touretteshero.com/2025/05/23/a-career-ending-decision/

🚨NEWS🚨 'Forgotten and abandoned, young Disabled people are fighting back against cuts through a new collective' @crips-against-cuts.bsky.social solidarity! www.disabilitynewsservice.com/forgotten-an...

Disabled people are already terrified about how they will survive. 75% of people turning to food banks come from a family where someone is disabled. Cutting disability payments is cruel, and risks pushing people deeper into poverty.

The impact assessment on the #SpringStatement has confirmed that 50,000 more children will be pushed into poverty as a result of these measures & 250,000 working age adults as a result of the social security changes. How can making people poorer & sicker help people into work & grow the economy?

I’m seeing even well-meaning accounts criticise disability cuts as hitting “the most vulnerable.” Reminder: disabled people are not inherently vulnerable. We are vulnerable when governments choose to withhold the resources disabled people need to live dignified and secure lives.

Fantastic collection of information to help people be more involved in decisions about their mental health medication medmentalhealth.net #MyMedicationMyMentalHealth

Twenty years ago, Peter Lodge wrote to the Guardian to complain about the state’s treatment of family carers. In 2022, he died suddenly at the home he shared with his severely disabled son, David, who had no way to call for help. 1/5

Feel so lucky to have been able to buy this beautiful piece of artwork that means so much to me and everyone involved in @spinplatescare.bsky.social There is still time to get a picture that means something to you too! Check this out!

I research the lived experience of parents with children who struggle to or cannot attend school. I call us #GhostParents. Please get in touch if you want to participate in this work. My ethics approval is for any English speakers. We must stop #parentblame. #autism #audhd #pda #ghostparents

There's a basic fact in this piece that can't be repeated enough: locking up people in long-term, secure, clinical and intense inpatient 'care' can be traumatic and makes them feel worse, not better. #LearningDisability #autism #socialcare
