Repurposed my DogsDogsMoreDog account to use my voice in the fight for disability rights. As a disabled person, we need all the voices we can.

This was my original account & why I created it. My girl. My always. For now, as a disabled person, my voice is needed for my community. We are facing far more struggles, demonisation & hate crimes. Please stick around. Will always love the dog content & your pups. Thank you!
Disability Rights@TalkThatTalk_K

I started this account as a tribute to my girl, my always, who I’m lost without. And to share the love I have for dogs with others like yourselves. To support others in their happiness, charity needs, your pet grief, or simply sharing moments of dog joy. Dogs are the best of us.

@HowThingsWork_ I couldn’t personally but I think gyms should do stuff like this to make working out a lot more fun. Workouts get monotonous and like a grind very quickly. This would definitely help people enjoy it a bit more, in my opinion. Same for rowing machines, bikes and crosstrainers!

Would you use a gym more if it had interactive games like this? Yes or No?

@bemorebob2 @wendytgibson I’ve actually been wearing these during this heatwave as I recently bought them to try during my own migraines! Alternated between my chest and forehead and they really do feel cold for hours. They’re honestly great! I’m glad you’ve found them helpful ☺️

Fellow migraine sufferers. Tina bought me these cool head patches last week, and I’m so grateful. I had a migraine yesterday and vestiges of it still today, but this cool head strip (plus painkillers) has made it possible for me to work today. I’m quite the fan. Thought I’d share, as you have all been kind enough to share migraine tips with me. S xx

Colchester @marksandspencer I asked where the women’s changing room was to try on swimwear. Manager Andrew (he/ his /him) says gender neutral changing areas are “completely safe” for women and girls. For asking him this question, he told me to leave the store. @SexMattersOrg

Welfare is controlled. Helen knows this. The right people are getting it, because the fraud rate of 0.3% backs that up. In fact, more people qualify and are entitled but it’s so hard to claim disability benefits that many who qualify don’t get any. That saves billions. But let’s talk about you and how much Helen Whately costs the taxpayer. The benefit cap is £23k, and £25k if you live in London. But Helen doesn’t have a benefit cap and claims £39k EVERY YEAR on rent from the taxpayer and the list of expenses below. In 3 years alone the expenses amount to £521,655.79 Plus the additional £39k for each of those 3 years for her rent, bills and so on. This doesn’t even cover all of it. So no, households on £23k a year are not the problem. People like Helen Whately are!

💥📺🎙️ NEW "When The Facts Change" Interview Can the Tories rein in the UK's runaway welfare budget? Welfare spending is set to balloon 19% to £373 billion by the scheduled end of this Parliament in 2029. Within that, working age health and disability benefits will surge 30% – to almost £100 billion. These are colossal sums. The Tories are challenging the conventional wisdom –that trying to make welfare savings is electoral suicide. The party is now pledging to make a chunky £47 billion of savings per year, with £23 billion of that to beslashed from the welfare bill. The welfare savings are being championed by Helen Whately, Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary and, since 2015, MP for Faversham and Mid Kent. Labour attempts to make welfare savings were last year firmly rejected by the party’s left-wing MPs. So are these Tory plans credible? Could the Conservatives control Britain’s runaway welfare spending. Hit the link below for a detailed discussion with @Helen_Whately on When The Facts Change: Economics and Politics in a fast-moving world, with Liam Halligan comment.press/whately

Thank you for sharing this. It really puts it very clearly how we are letting history repeat itself in the worst way possible. Even Trump said he follows H*tler’s words and “teachings”, specifically about convincing people they didn’t see what they actually saw with their own eyes. That has served him well with all his lies to the American people. So it makes sense that his people over there support Reform and now they use the same lines used almost 100 years ago, and now used by America’s right wingers. Why don’t more people see what we see playing out in plain sight?

I work despite disabilities, one of which landed me in hospital several times last year. Worked all my life. I can only manage part time hours. I am the sole earner as my partner died, leaving me with 3 kids. If I become deemed too ill to work, a Reform gov terrifies me.

@liambyrnemp Saving money for all with actually throttling the grift that energy companies and supermarkets perform on our everyday expenses would be a bigger help, Liam.

@patmcfaddenmp There aren’t enough jobs for the amount of unemployed people, you utter clown. And that’s not even including those coming up to employment age who will be looking for jobs. How the fuck are you even employed with this level of incompetence? Oh that’s right, the grift…

Debbie, the government would do anything for the chance to throw disabled people under the bus some more. It’s a deep disappointment to them that the fraud rate is so low because it doesn’t suit the agenda. And yes, this is the work I do. So I’m very aware of the situation. But thank you for the anonymous opinion of a troll account who believes any drivel without fact checking before going on an angry rant 🥴 Do you support Reform/Restore by any chance?

Helen, this actually is less than 10 households because UC puts a stop to it and it’s only older benefits that allowed this to happen. The government doesn’t recognise polygamous households in terms of benefits anymore. So, by that small number YOU actually grift more from the taxpayer than those 10 households do… Isn’t that interesting.

Polygamy is illegal in the UK. But if you’ve married 4 wives overseas and moved here, you could claim up to £78,000 in benefits. Paid for by British taxpayers. That is absurd. Conservatives will end this.
