Did you know that @BorisJohnson's government have quietly changed the elegibility for Warm Home Discount? Disabled people will now NOT be allowed to claim it, despite being the section of people who have the highest energy usage. They're actively punishing us for being disabled.

No mp should be in any role they do not have first hand lived experience of , it takes someone that's lived our lives to understand them.
All children of compulsory school age are legally entitled to receive a suitable full-time education. Schools cannot place children on a part-time timetable, save in exceptional circumstances to meet a pupil’s individual needs. Read more about this here: ipsea.org.uk/informal-exclu…

This is something I can get behind and local authorities should ask to be briefed regularly.
For parents and young people living in Newham, it isn't news that the Borough has inadequate child disability healthcare, low quality EHC Plans, 2 year waiting lists for ASC assessments, weak leadership. Another Written Statement of Action needed in SEND: reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/44/80…
My 16 yr old daughter has moderate #learningdisabilities. In the night she built her dressing table by herself (I had been putting off for wks). She followed the awful instructions perfectly. I only saw it built when I went to give her her meds this morning! I am so proud of her!
