The Government is planning “catastrophic” cuts to benefits that experts say will force disabled people into poverty, and even those with extreme disabilities will lose money. Our social safety net isn’t up for grabs: add your name now. 38d.gs/m2l5
Lost count now. How on earth is this hospital still open? "The Care Quality Commission has restricted referrals to St Andrew's Northampton site to ensure the safety of their current inpatients" bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Ever wondered what it might be like to be a bereaved parent losing a child under the NHS? Ever wondered why we are failed and bullied and our trauma is exploited while all backs are turned? Please step in and help me get justice.
Please can you help me let @PHSO know that they must not publish their botched report and slit our throats again. Please help me to get a meeting with Paula Sussex. Senior staff have hid. @wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer @PHSO_theFACTS @PHSO @pollycurtis @katiewaissel24…
Who's the real problem here @wesstreeting ? And what are they going to do about it?
It’s everywhere and it’s unforgivable. Our video has other examples of the things people and their families have to put up with. youtu.be/zSO1GnKU1qw?si….

#Oliverscampaign WHAT ARE THEY HIDING Please retweet Lord Scriven said The extended wait for the LeDeR report publication raises important questions It suggests that the report contains findings which are challenging for the Government & healthcare itv.com/news/2025-07-1…
Every caring parent's nightmare. I'm not in a place where I can deal with my fears around this as I have to pick my battles right now, but I hope there will learnings that can be shared.
What happens when I can no longer care? An interactive and participative workshop. Lots of questions asked by parent carers. Calmly and clearly answered by Lucy from @irwinmitchell. "A great and convenient source of important and sometimes complex information."
Some humans are not more equal than others @wesstreeting @KeirStarmer @RachelReeves @leicesterliz
#HumanRights are for everyone @wesstreeting, yet two recent reports from @itvnews prove that, time and again, the Right to Life, the Right to Freedom from Torture and Inhuman and Degrading Treatment and the Right to Liberty (amongst others) just don’t apply to autistic and…
‘In your view if Myles didn’t have a learning disability he’d still be alive?’ ‘Oh absolutely there’s no doubt about that’
'Unforgiveable': Damning report finds death of learning disabled man was 'entirely preventable' itv.com/news/2025-07-1…
Some humans are not more human than others.
I believe every person with a learning disability should get fair support with their Health and Social Care. This report is important to show where things are going wrong and what needs to be done to fix the problems. itv.com/news/2025-07-1…
Jesus wept. And the 'system' never changed. @wesstreeting please respond to requests for meeting with relevant charities @CBFdn @Mencap. Please don't bother with @autism because they abandoned this group. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
On and on and on... until when @WesStreeting?
Josh is 21 and has severe learning disabilities and autism. Four years ago, he was admitted to an inpatient unit, and his parents were told it would just be for three months while he was assessed. HE NEVER CAME HOME! Why are these loved ones still trapped in a broken system?
"Despite facilitated communication being prohibited under NICE CG142, it was used in a DoLS reassessment at the college.' How can this discredited practice with devastating consequences have been allowed to happen @CareQualityComm? challengingbehaviour.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
@wesstreeting could also watch our evidence to @HumanRightsCtte from 2018, when the late Lord Trimble had tears in his eyes at what he was hearing and Baroness Lawrence told us she understood how hard it is for parents to fight the system for their children’s rights.…
"Few people without disabilities in Britain would settle for an existence of food, heat and a wash. The question is: why should disabled people?" It really has come to this. Some humans are not more human than others.
“When the political and media class wish to leave disabled people hungry and dirty, the disabled community must explain why we should be allowed to eat and be clean.” Today’s col. reflects on a tough month and what it all means for disability in the U.K. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
‘Where we fall short, we act decisively to make it right.’ Just not this century? How many more ‘fallings short’ do you need?
Lifeways again. When are local authorities going to monitor properly the care services they commission @wesstreeting? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Brilliant article in The Guardian from @johnharris1969 who is part of our #SaveOurChildrensRights campaign. After disability benefits, is Labour really about to target the educational rights of special needs children? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Downing Street should commit to EHCPs to maintain the trust of families who have children with special educational needs, says @helenhayes_, the Labour MP who chairs the Education Select Committee. theguardian.com/education/2025…
I’m pleased to have signed this letter. No child is ineducable and the right to an education, health and care plans must be retained. theguardian.com/education/2025…
