The party is over @BorisJohnson. Resign.

So proud to launch a bill today to give young disabled people #AFightingChance at a future, with a right to a transition plan to support them to achieve their aspirations. Thank you @InclusionScot @CamphillScot @DifferabledScot for your support & hard work getting us here.

Sad to see @WeAreBrightBlue join the ranks of organisations hosting debates about the future of social care without involving anyone whose expertise derives from drawing on it brightblue.org.uk/care-after-cov…

“The pandemic has entrenched existing inequalities and created new ones but I think most have just had a wee taste of what it’s long been like for disabled people, being unable to go where they want whenever they want to.” @SalWitcher @InclusionScot ewangurr.scot/building

More evidence of the value of #LivedExperience !

Making people aware of what a no-deal Brexit might mean for Scots disabled people has never been never more important as UK Parliament will now be suspended. Read our article about what a no-deal might mean for disabled people - thirdforcenews.org.uk/tfn-news/no-de…

Everywhere you look there is breaking Brexit news and predictions of what will happen next - in this chaos and clamour, who is considering the potentially life-threatening consequences to disabled people of leaving the EU without a deal? #Brexit

@BorisJohnson Leaving the EU without an agreement will have drastic and wide-ranging implications for citizens, and communities, across the entire UK. We deserve to be heard!

Today we have joined forces are with over 85 civil society orgs from across the UK to express our grave concerns about the impacts of a no-deal Brexit in an open letter to @BorisJohnson #NoDealUncertainty

As the Queen agrees to suspend the UK parliament we are increasingly concerned about implications to disabled people of crashing out of the EU without a deal. Read our statement of principles for a Brexit that protects our human rights - ilis.co.uk/uploads/Brexit…

I’ve only spent 25 years stopping thousands of Glaswegians being evicted or repossessed from their homes. Got £1.7bn back in bank charges for free. Wrote the payday loan & bedroom tax guides that were downloaded hundreds of thousands of times. Yet GCC want to cut our funding.

Advocates of Basic Income: an essential meeting to engage with the real issues, challenges & fears faced by disabled people & their organisations. We must listen & understand their concerns, then co-produce proposals so that no one is left behind or suffers detriment. @cbinscot

@DavidJ_Brindle is right. Failure to build accessible homes is a false economy. The picture is a bit better in Scotland but most housing stock still doesn’t meet even basic access standards. A new design standard for all new homes is needed NOW! theguardian.com/society/2019/j…
