International Men’s Day hits hard for disabled men. We’re excluded from mental health talks, blocked by inaccessible systems, and ignored when we raise real dangers — even around life-and-death policies. Our lives have value. What barriers are still overlooked? #InternationalMensDay #DisabledMen #DisabledRights

Thank you @RachaelMaskell 👏 When we don’t have a voice, in government we can only hope that MP’s hear us & speak to support our voiced concerns via their speeches & voting, if thats considered a rebellion @GOVUK @UKLabour democracy really does need to evolve or cease to exist!🤔

Some news… I’m truly honoured to have been nominated as the next Deputy Lord Mayor of Belfast. Growing up in Turflodge, I never dreamt I’d have the chance to represent our city in this way. I’ll continue to be on the ground in communities, tackling the issues people face day in, day out. But this role also gives me a platform - to stand up for those too often left behind and to celebrate everything that makes this city such a special place. Looking forward to getting stuck in!

You may disagree with my views and my campaigns, but personal attacks on me, or anyone else, is uncalled for.

Some personal news! Despite the wild ride that 2024 was, in December I took up the role of Head of Policy and Operations at @cfilni! I’ve always been passionate about defining independence, and the ethos of the Independent Living Movement strikes at the heart of who I am.

Almost 400 people are waiting for a hospital bed in Northern Ireland ⁦@BBCNewsNI⁩ 35 ambulances are unable to offload at emergency departments as there isn't the space to facilitate crews or patients. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I'm absolutely furious that the focus on public spending always diverts to sick and disabled people...when contemptuous companies like Thames Water will get away with putting bills up by 35% while paying bosses hundreds of thousands in bonuses. Joke.

This is just one part of the ‘benefit’ trap reality, many of us are in @StephenNolan maybe you could do a programme about this, with our community, instead of spinning misinformation about motability, a lifeline to many? #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
