I'm a full-time powerchair user, have Muscular Dystrophy, a mum and fiance, advocate for the disabled. I want to make a difference, in-between the tears, anger and frustration.

Menopause....menopause, that's what's up blue sky!
Disability isn't sufficient in aggravating me everyday, menopause at 39 is needed. Is there anything about being a woman that doesn't royally suck?

And now a huge cull to welfare, I'd wager not one of the tits in government could live a day in mine or my friends shoes, it's exhausting, relentless, lonely, expensive and at times soul crushing.

So to The Labour Party , major hotel chains, public transport and every ableist piece of scum🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻♿

The UK is miles away from being accessible, especially when you need a hoist, then chuck in needing profiling beds, then oxygen and carers.
Nobody asks or wants this life and I've tired to speak to MPs, media etc....the sad reality is NOBODY with any clout or want, gives a tiny rats arse.

Being disabled, sucks more than being related to Trump....
And not just for me, I have friends who are practically prisoners in their rooms. Because spare of the moment outings and visiting friends overnight is like a military deployment, time and expense.

....2030!!!! It has already been estimated that a disabled household spends an average of £995 more a month!!!

And all of that aside, the rhetoric blasted for the last few months has damaged how disabled communities are treated and seen. I know this because of how I've found myself treated by ...

I'm really bored of hearing "1 in 8 young people" at the start of an excuse when a certain (slightly disheveled, heavy eye bagged) Reeves ploughs out her planned speech for why disabled people should plummet into poverty!
Pip aside, which has been named "reform" not cuts, that itself is a lie, let

Everything government are doing is fundamentally wrong. More taxes, Netflix shouldn't pay tax because of the failing BBC, let's face it, that's why their doing it ...just means everyone else pays more...AGAIN.
And why aren't people speaking about cut in UC for most vulnerable? ♿

Rapist’s sentence gets suspended because of his “promising future” as a GYNAECOLOGIST - The New Feminist A Belgian court suspended the sentence of a medical student found guilty of rape, citing his “promising future” as a gynaecologist.

Beyond disgusting!! Even after it was ruled, the woman involved was clearly unable to consent as in an unfit state. Judge ruled because of the accused young age and promising future (as a gynecologist 😡), he would serve suspended sentence.

Slap on the face to women 😞

Farage’ll swallow anything Donald Trump serves up — even chlorinated chicken. 🐔

He’s backing a trade deal with Trump that could force the UK to accept US agricultural products that don't meet our standards.

Liberal Democrats will always stand up for British Farmers.

DWP figures show two in five single parents are living in poverty Benefits policies sever the link between a family's needs and their support.

DWP figures show two in five single parents are living in poverty.

Children in single parent families face a 43% poverty rate.

Disability benefit cuts will plunge 50,000 more children into poverty.

Govt won't end the two child benefit cap.

Poverty is a political choice.

Jesus, that's so sad. Yes Im having to avoid my muscular dystrophy chat group, because I just can't cope with looking at how my life's going to be, but then I'm riddled with guilt. I'm worried for people like me, being pushed towards assisted suicide because there's cure. X

Yes see I've not dared to properly research it, because my head is overloaded with negative crap. But, the drug used would be my first port of call with research. I just see how I'm treated and it doesn't make me trust the process taken is safe, trustworthy and reliable.

Yep, yesterday I received a letter stating my contribution based ESA would be moving to new style ESA and I need to attend work based interview, then on reverse states my income based ESA is moving to UC....never been on contribution based ESA. And for weeks my FT was told he needed to work 🙄

I always want equal rights, but not when it's rushed or fecklessly thought out. Having a progressive disease myself, I find it disturbing that government are excited to put this through, yet don't care about how we LIVE! I do not trust the NHS or government to not use coercive control! ♿...thoughts?

Cutting health aspect of universal for people who have claimed pip, this deemed extremely disabled, is immoral and clearly a way to save money!

It's saying you can't work, so will live in squaller and hardship. This in my eyes is worse than what there doing with pip. ♿

A man died, alone in his home, in horrendous conditions, after the DWP wrongfully terminated his pip...and so it begins!

I'm not sure whether to cry or scream, being disabled was scary enough, now it's worse. ♿

BREAKING: Young PIP claimants challenge @wesstreeting for backing cruel disability cuts.

We’ve been denied care, stuck on waiting lists & left to fight for survival in a rigged system.
