@WEP_UK what do you think they should have spent the money on instead? I’m thinking they could have got @VotePursglove a riot helmet to go with his stab vest.

Given the current backlogs with access to work, a crumbling NHS and social care that is just broken we can think of better ways the ‘disability Unit’ could have spent there cash? Why not share what you think they should have spent the money on? 3/3

We are pretty disappointed by this from the @DisabilityGovUK (we also think that name is too medical model) it seems very few disability organisations have been involved in the campaigns creation plus there tag is seriously close to the one created by activist @BlondeHistorian 1/

This crushing sentence is exactly why it's so important that abortion is decriminalised in the UK. It's a national scandal that women are being criminalised for seeking healthcare. I send my solidarity to the woman who has been sentenced and her family. theguardian.com/world/2023/jun…

Anyone else struggling to recruit care because of DWP’s own rules? Can’t cover sickness (overtime) + or fill basic 3-5 hour vacancy due to universal credit. Disproportionate impact on disabled ppl, disabled women, female workers + single parents @socfuture @WEP_UK @WEPDisability

Despite promising zero tolerance on misogyny, Keir Starmer and the Labour Party have let women down again - yet another thing they have in common with the Tories. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

If you’re a survivor of #DomesticAbuse with a secret or secondary phone, the government’s new #EmergencyAlerts could reveal your phone, even if it’s on silent. Our tech team have created an easy guide on how to turn them off >> youtube.com/watch?v=I2MBcH…

What does the alert look and sound like? 🚨 Emergency Alerts will appear on the home screen of your device and you will hear a loud siren-like sound and feel a vibration for up to 10 seconds. Watch the video below 📽️👇

I’ve been very emotional since the news broke, I never met Judy but she was my inspiration as a #disabled person born in the 80’s there is so much about my life I wish I could thank her for fighting for. #JudyHeumann 1/

Every so often I come back round to the word 'invalid' and wonder how disabled people ever make it in this world, when even the words that describe us are so adamantly against our humanity. @RosieL_WEP @DrHannahBB @WEPDisability

Shola, I am so sorry that this has happened. I am here for you. I stand with you. We will not be cowed. This is what happens when our national discourse regresses to the point where immigrants and asylum seekers are dehumanised and demonised as "invaders" by politicians.
Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu@SholaMos1

I have received “a serious threat from National Action London” notifying me of their “intention to kill” me & my family. They name my husband & home address.They don’t consider killing me ‘murder’ they call it an ‘execution’. This letter was through my front door This is Britain
