From today disabled workers effectively "stop" earning for the rest of the year because of the pay gap between us and non-disabled workers. That gap sits at 17.2%, with non-disabled employees making about £2.35 more per hour on average. #DisabilityPayGapDay #FairDues

I have joined 3372 GPs in signing a joint letter calling on @wesstreeting to deliver on his promises to change general practice for the better. The more GPs in England who sign up to the campaign the more likely he will listen so please join me & go to rcgp.eaction.org.uk/Joint-Letter-2…

+Urgent message for all UK airspace users+

I believe in #TransRights, I stand with the trans community and send love and courage to everyone feeling scared by the UK’s transphobic and racist political leadership.

Are you @wshed's new Chair? After 20 years on the Board, @james_touzel is stepping down😞. We are looking for an inclusive + thoughtful Chair who understands our vision and values and can support both creative risk-taking and financial resilience. watershed.co.uk/jobs-opportuni…

Our fascinating exhibition opens today @bristolmuseum. It highlights how disability can be a creative force and questions why the experiences of disabled people are stigmatised. Created with the support of @HeritageFundUK and @artfund. More: curatingforchange.org/events/

@JayneEEgerton @angelamcrobbie @politybooks @katjungnickel @SociologyGold Fascinating episode! Thanks for this thought provoking subject matter! It is making me wonder if an #underwaterwheelchair (I have the patent) could be considered a ‘wearable technology’.
