This crushing sentence is exactly why it's so important that abortion is decriminalised in the UK. It's a national scandal that women are being criminalised for seeking healthcare. I send my solidarity to the woman who has been sentenced and her family. theguardian.com/world/2023/jun…

Anyone else struggling to recruit care because of DWP’s own rules? Can’t cover sickness (overtime) + or fill basic 3-5 hour vacancy due to universal credit. Disproportionate impact on disabled ppl, disabled women, female workers + single parents @socfuture @WEP_UK @WEPDisability

Despite promising zero tolerance on misogyny, Keir Starmer and the Labour Party have let women down again - yet another thing they have in common with the Tories. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

If you’re a survivor of #DomesticAbuse with a secret or secondary phone, the government’s new #EmergencyAlerts could reveal your phone, even if it’s on silent. Our tech team have created an easy guide on how to turn them off >> youtube.com/watch?v=I2MBcH…

“Disability only becomes a tragedy when society fails to provide the things we need to lead our lives - job opportunities or barrier-free buildings, for example” Judy Heumann. Many of us have had our lives changed by your actions, Judy we will keep up the fight.

I’ve been very emotional since the news broke, I never met Judy but she was my inspiration as a #disabled person born in the 80’s there is so much about my life I wish I could thank her for fighting for. #JudyHeumann 1/

Every so often I come back round to the word 'invalid' and wonder how disabled people ever make it in this world, when even the words that describe us are so adamantly against our humanity. @RosieL_WEP @DrHannahBB @WEPDisability

Shola, I am so sorry that this has happened. I am here for you. I stand with you. We will not be cowed. This is what happens when our national discourse regresses to the point where immigrants and asylum seekers are dehumanised and demonised as "invaders" by politicians.
