Went back to Oxford Street. A lot of the mistakes have been put right. Not perfect but better. Thankfully.

Forcing disabled young people the DWP has already declared unfit for work into employment whilst cutting Access to Work and spreading propaganda about how disabled benefit claimants are all faking scroungers, wheres this "hope" you speak of @UKLabour @andyburnham?

Out today, my view on the recent change in how disabled people are viewed in @guardian.
I had an amazing
experience as a disabled person at school in the 70s. Since then, discrimination has got far worse | Mik Scarlet | The Guardian share.google/jZxVXh4O7kPy99…

Government admits that disabled people will be coerced to end their life by structural pressures such as neglect, poverty and living conditions, if medically-assisted suicide is legalised. Is this the brave new world you want, MPs?

Disabled customers are driving away from supermarkets due to poor accessibility. With 3 million Blue Badge holders in the UK you’d expect better.

Pavements are for people, not vehicles. Cars blocking footpaths steal independence from disabled people every day.

Disabled people’s organisations have raised grave concerns about last week’s “less than honest” report from the Timms Review and warn that it has “diluted” disabled people’s concerns about possible cuts to their personal independence payment.

It’s not true and never was. She was seriously misadvised.
.@UKStatsAuth has written to @KemiBadenoch today, following our fact check of her inaccurate claim that the total welfare bill is now higher than income tax receipts “for the first time ever”.
We hope she will correct the record soon.

#BenefitDeaths
Labour ministers have refused to release a “briefing pack” which would reveal the thoughts of civil servants on repeated calls for an inquiry into hundreds, and probably thousands, of benefit-related deaths.

Hot on the heels of widespread Labour defeat comes Luke Charters MP proposals for a ‘youth triple lock’. He says “young people are a generation with their backs against the wall”.
How then do you justify removing benefits from disabled under 22s⁉️

The Department for Work and Pensions has increased the number of disabled claimants who will face fewer reviews of their eligibility for personal independence payment.

These stunts sicken me. That’s all they are, stunts. How many blind people regularly walk round with an entourage and a bloody cameraman to keep them safe? Ban black shades face.
Now the MP for York Outer’s turn to cosplay at being blind. Suggest his time would be better spent investigating why actual blind people are having their benefits miscalculated by DWP. My Sight York does valuable work but this is not part of it. Not consistent with #SocialModel

We are increasingly concerned at Disability Action Haringey about government and Motability Foundation scheme changes and what they mean for disabled people.
Our CEO Phil Stevens has written about some of the impact, but more worrying impacts are still emerging.
We know this dependence and daily lives.
This is not reform. It’s the erosion of rights.

The government is now making disabled people wait to 2029 for more ‘recommendations’ on inaccessible transport
