It is so deeply depressing to see Labour give the right wing press these soundbites. They know no one “lives a life on benefits” if they are not severely ill and those who do are consigned to poverty. And yet they say it, making the country that little bit nastier and divided.

Yes it can sometimes be hard to get a restaurant table, but it can be impossible if you're a wheelchair user. My February @ObsFood column a few days early, about hospitality and the often unnecessary challenges of disability access. theguardian.com/food/2024/feb/…

For anyone who needs this explaining: It’s not at all bigoted to say you don’t find a comedian funny. But if you find yourself regularly getting angry at a disabled comedian being on TV and/or saying things like “I just can’t understand her,” you’re probably a massive bigot.

Nothing says to people who draw on care or support ‘you should feel grateful’ (and guilty) more than seasonal messages on here from social care leaders thanking the workforce for ‘sacrificing’ their own Christmas. It reveals a great deal, even if unconscious & well meant.

It was a pleasure to contribute to this important book. Reading through the authors (other than myself) illustrates this will be a seminal work within the literature on disability, childhood, and youth. #ally #sociology #Disability #Inclusion

Disappointing. @LaticsOfficial refused free personal assistant ticket to attend hospitality. Expected to return to usual seat during game, which would miss part of game when moving between. Never used to be like this. @lpftweets struggle to get club to adjust approach. #wafc
Sarah 🌸@sarahhwarah

It’s 2023 and @LaticsOfficial wants me and a ‘healthcare professional’ to complete this form despite me already having the following evidence: - Access card - Personal Independence Payment - Blue Badge Such a totally unnecessary barrier. Disappointing. #WAFC @PKendrickWIG

And people are not ‘patients’ of social care. Integration is proving a hostile takeover not a merger of equals 👇
Simon Bottery@blimeysimon

This is one long ‘andsocialcareism’ (when ‘AND social care’ is added to text that’s only really about the NHS). So it thanks ‘health, social care and research staff for delivering on patient priorities’. But try finding a real #socialcare priority in here gov.uk/government/new…

@IsntLifeTragic @BBCPM This is about the role of the state, medical practitioners, courts (etc.) passing legislative and policy that would reorientate roles to facilitate/accelerate death. It is not about "individual choice" but the relation between states/practitioners, death, and individuals.

@MiroGriffiths @BBCPM With respect, I'm not talking of abstract vacuums within any culture. An individual should have the choice or right to end their life when for them death is the desired and logical option. Death can be a blessing. The father of the little girl kidnapped by Hamas wished her dead

@IsntLifeTragic @BBCPM Choice does not exist in abstract vacuums. Person's choice to pursue assisted suicide is affected by existing political, economic, social, and cultural arrangements that perpetuate disabled people’s marginalisation (including those with progressive/”terminal” conditions) .

@MiroGriffiths @BBCPM If legislation was passed by parliament there would be a choice. I respect your opinion but surely those that disagree should be able to exercise that choice.
