Anyone who doesn’t think this is red doesn’t understand football. Reckless, at speed, with force over the top of the ball. Incompetent VAR saved him. The other way around the Forest fans would feel the same #avfc #nffc

New research from the @RoyalStatSoc and Centre for Public Data, funded by @jrf_uk , highlights the UK’s poverty data gaps. brnw.ch/21x2fqr

People with a learning disability are too often overlooked in decisions because the right data simply isn’t there.

Political point scoring at the expense of people with a learning disability is shameful and has no place anywhere in the world.

We expect more from senior political leaders. The current spat between President Trump and Governor Newsom, with both using slurs about intellectual ability, is unacceptable and deeply insulting to people with a learning disability. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@Nelia23893053 Hi Nelia. I’m really sorry to hear about this experience. If you’re able to DM us with some details, I’m happy to pass it straight on to our complaints team. You can also contact them directly 0808 196 8424 or complaints@mencap.org.uk twitter.com/messages/compo…

@CMO_England Tell that to care workers who work in flats where people smoke. @mencap_charity did nothing in Supported Living flats when clients smoked.

Second-hand tobacco smoke is harmful, especially to children, pregnant women and medically vulnerable people. Risks include asthma, poor birth outcomes, cancer and stroke. A consultation on proposals to extend smoke-free places is now open: gov.uk/government/con…

@ChelFulhamBen @FamilyFund @AoDisability @contactfamilies @DCPcampaign @Tog4Policy @Sibs_uk Thanks for all your efforts over the past year and look forward to continuing to work with you

📣 Eddie's death was avoidable. It was caused by failures at the Trust to recognise his changed feeding plan, the importance of his feeding plan, the fact that getting it wrong could kill him, and the failure to read his notes and communicate. Read more: brnw.ch/21wUmA2

@AliArthPainter Hi Alicia, thank you for letting us know. They should be open for you now, thank you.

@mencap_charity I don't think your DMs are open.

Encountered my old housemate who bullied me and our other autistic housemate out of our home. Apparently, he now works for Mencap.

2/2 Too many people with a learning disability and/or autistic people are locked away and being restrained in mental health hospitals, 2,030 people are currently locked away.

@hjk27uk @JayneMc6 @arealmofwonder Hi Helen, we’re really sorry to hear about your friend’s experience. That sounds incredibly difficult. We’d like to understand more so we can look into this properly. If you’re comfortable, please DM us with a few more details and we’ll make sure the right team follows up. 💜

@JayneMc6 @arealmofwonder The constant rejections after interview made her suicidal for a time. She now has much better support but it was so hard to watch & support, knowing these were people (including Mencap!) who were supposed to be ‘supporting’ her to find work.

Whenever I hear people questioning the existence of those with Down Syndrome, I always remember these words from Sally Phillips. (Well worth the watch. ❤️)

@hearthefalconer @LeoKearse Hi, just a quick heads up. We’re Mencap, the UK learning disability charity. We think you might be looking for Kneecap, the band. Best, Mencap

@LeoKearse Mencap finally meet their hero.

Kneecap meet with Jezbollah. Looks like kids TV in the seventies. Look at their fucking latte machiatos
