It’s 12 years since the @BBCPanorama documentary about #WinterbourneView. 12 wasted years of talk, reviews and reports. And no meaningful action. Watch our vigil from the 10 anniversary and ask yourself if this rotten system will ever be fixed. youtu.be/ftIwWjG7rGw

Whatever the election results in England remember that some people on the electoral register were not allowed to vote - disenfranchised by new ID laws bit.ly/3p73hml

2m voters don't have access to photo ID but just 85,000 applied for a voter ID certificate. 'A large portion of the 2m people identified as not having access to photo ID will be Disabled..many will already be excluded from engaging in elections due to inaccessible practice'🔽

Happy Friday 🙌

Can we say it again for the people at the back "no person has the right to prevent a person from voting on capacity grounds. Not a care home, not a deputy or donee of an LPA, not a election officer, nobody." @anneliese_ht @louise_warren5 @NHSsafeguarding @SANNnhs @kennygibsonnhs
