Insomnia = emails sent very early this morning including a follow up thank you/clarification email to Baroness Scott of Needham Market re the WCA training. Putting a positive spin on a 'symptom' of M.E, it helps to get stuff done before our bit of the world wakes up. #PwME

Government quietly releases multiple disability research reports on the same day… but eight days too late for MPs who voted for cuts #UniversalCredit #UniversalCreditBill #DWP disabilitynewsservice.com/government-qui…
Right, after seeing yet another think tank on national telly pushing their right wing agenda... We want to set up a thinktank for disability. Who wants to help create it/run it? #Disability #UK #MEcfs
This 👇 and migration from HMRC tax credits. #TakingThePIP
Bro, more people are on UC Health cos of predominantly migration from ESA and also the ageing population and also more professionals realising welfare conditionality is so brutal it would KILL people if not shielded by LCWRA. #TakingThePIP

🚨 Nearly £2M stolen by DWP staff in benefit fraud, while disabled people face stigma and scrutiny just to access support. The real fraud? It’s inside the system. Time to shift the narrative from blame to accountability. #Disability #pwME #WelfareSystem stripylightbulb.com/2025/07/23/dwp…

“Watching nurseries bring back Covid hygiene protocols while medics urge people to get vaccinated, it feels as if we’re blindly going over an old routine, scrubbing surfaces with disinfectant and denial.” My col. on measles and repeating the same mistakes theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
