My health has worsened, and I'll be taking most of October off to undergo immunotherapy. When I come back, I'll be freelance. Journalism, research, talks, and anything else I can do remotely from under a blanket. If you want to work with or support me: linktr.ee/rachelcdailey

RT @LurgeeLife: The last time we underwent the "LABOUR WAY" of bringing welfare down for those too ill/disabled to work it led to at least:…

#Budget2026
It’s horrendous that 18-20 year olds will not get the biggest increase of the national minimum wage

Healey says, "We will bring down the welfare bill and do it in a labour way"

"The Labour way" seems to be demonising disabled people who can't work #Budget2026

It's great that the chancellor has announced a payment of £100 to help with energy bills for 20 mil households. However, disabled households spend approx £1,122 more on energy bills a year. There was no mention of support for those who need it most #Budget2026

Oh nooo Shirley Ballas, a fucking world champion dancer with 60 years of experience, judged dancing "too harshly" by offering practical critiques. Weren't you people judged by Len Goodman for 17 years? #DWTS

RT @LurgeeLife: The Joseph Rowntree Foundation calculated that £520 pcm is needed for essentials (single, no disability/illness)

Standard…

#BankAccounts
#DWP

The DWP has made the first use of its powers to force banks to run checks of claimants’ accounts as part of what it bills as a “crackdown”  that will be “saving taxpayers £1.2 billion by 2030/31.”

Certain parts of the media are reporting that Russell Brand was found not guilty of one of the charges against him. This isn't true, the judge reduced the charge of indecent assault to attempted indecent assault.

Rewatching Gilmore Girls and MAX MEDINA DESERVED BETTER

Chancellor must avoid dangerous winter support gap for working parents and disabled people, warns @CitizensAdvice wired-gov.net/wg/news.nsf/ar…

Oh yeah, got a bit distracted today, but this dropped through my letterbox yesterday (Luckily avoiding the heavy rain today). @RachelCDailey_
Looking forward to... Educating myself.
Finally brought it!

Might be very old of me but I do not like them doing tiktok dances on #strictly, that is not what the show is about

I was ya gal who ALWAYS turned up with a takeaway coffee and was gutted when I had to give it up for health stuff last year.

I've started slowly reintroducing it after drinking chai for a year and I realised I don't actually like the taste of coffee

Never seen a party promise to kill their own voter base before

Is Coral's mum the first time we've seen a disabled queen proudly using a mobility aid on #DragRace? a million seasons all over the world and it being someone's family member is pretty shocking if it is.

(Victoria Scone doesn't count cos that was an injury and so helllllp me fucking god if anyone brings up the countless runways taking the piss out of disability)

Absolutely nothing will prepare you for this absolutely dogshit AI some content creator on Instagram made of him and the Ghosts film poster. It's a treat every time you zoom in

Lads, I cannot implore you all enough to see the Ghosts film. Fuck me it's good. So many callbacks for fans, but welcoming enough if you've never seen the show (also fix that asap). Just such a bloody joy of a film. The creators deserve all the awards.

Hello please come talk to me when you've all seen the Ghosts film
