Disability Action In Islington

Disabled people’s organisations have branded Tory leader Kemi Badenoch’s latest proposals to slash spending on disabled people’s support as “nonsense”, “harmful”, and a recipe for hardship and poverty. #KemiBadenoch #DisabilityBenefits #Conservatives disabilitynewsservice.com/badenochs-late…

As it is a shared lounge, your staff won’t permit entry amazing way to treat Disabled travellers who work within the industry to promote inclusivity and accessibility

@AvantiWestCoast absolutely disgusted at the behaviour of your staff as members of the Caledonian Sleeper panel sending a meeting of the Caledonian Sleeper arrangements for made for us to be able to access the lounge area prior to its normal opening hours of 8 pm this evening

MPs have spoken out about the shortage of accessible meeting rooms in Westminster, as well as outdated toilet facilities for wheelchair-users, and large parts of the parliamentary estate that cannot be accessed by many disabled visitors. disabilitynewsservice.com/disabled-mps-s…

The Scottish Conservatives and Reform UK have set themselves apart from the other four main parties by pledging to slash spending on disability benefits, in their pitch to voters for next month’s elections to Scotland’s parliament. #ScottishElection disabilitynewsservice.com/tories-and-ref…

The Government say they want Disabled people in work, but at the same time their cuts to Access to Work support are pushing people like Michelle out of jobs that they love. Does that make sense to you? inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

I'm honestly getting sick of places saying "we don't have access as we're a Grade 1 listed building". So is St Paul's & they have amazing access. Shut up using excuses & start making changes. & councils start understanding your legal requirements to support the changes.

@CllrSeema You been busy supporting your community again well done ! Good luck come 7th May West Green will be lucky to have you again !

My Weekend Ward Walkabout in West Green took place on ✅ Downhills Park Rd ✅ Philip Lane ✅ Downhills Park Road ✅ Kirkstall Ave ✅ Keston Rd ✅ Ripon Rd ✅ Apple Tree Rd ✅ Downhills Park Reports gone to Highways and Veolia #tottenham #councillor #labourparty

✅The government wants to learn from lived experience: people with learning difficulties + autistic people. It wants to pay organisations to help ❌But key documents aren't in Easy Read, despite requests. So groups with the most lived experience will be the least able to apply👎
