This morning, I gave the U.K. Gov and the DWP both barrels in my speech to the U.N. Disability Rights Committee. U.K. is a systematic and grave disability rights abuser. When the #CRPD29 issues its report in March the evidence we submitted today will be founded upon. Solidarity

@blacktriangle1 Thank you for all your work pushing this thru 👍

#CRDP23 Grave & systemic human rights violations towards disabled people from UN report of 2016 exist today More than 50% of disabled people struggling to pay high energy costs

@Dis_PPL_Protest @KatieTraining Demand from desperate people needing help is overwhelming small user-led orgs like ours. People in tears, exhausted trying get thru the system

#CRDP23 UK government has received criticism for its lack of engagement with representative organisations for disabled people around Disability Action Plan and National Disability Strategy

Loved this post by @RodKersh! Receiving letters written about you in a language you don’t speak is a bit crazy isn’t it? ESP when you’re unwell/scared/etc. this reminds me of our health & adult social care scrutiny last week. Where we talked through how important language is.

I've had some worried messages about The Budget #Disability Benefits announcement. Pls note this was a White Paper, ie proposal not draft law so early stage. Much can change & it can't start til 2026, so for now don't fret. Here's @MindCharity assessment mind.org.uk/news-campaigns…
