I’ve never been hugely into Disability Pride but it has felt more important than ever this year. The summer has seen a wave of demonisation and disbelief of disabled people. Our conditions are doubted, our needs depicted as burdens. I’m glad Who Wants Normal? can do its bit to challenge that.

This Disability Pride month, I’m grateful for the readers who say Who Wants Normal? is helping them feel more valued and confident. This book was never about downplaying inequality but proudly rejecting the shame and stereotypes the non-disabled world forces on us. With jokes.

The “welfare reform bill” is out and let’s be clear: this is not reform - it is devastating cuts. Disabled people will be made poorer, sicker, and more isolated as a result. That it is a Labour government causing this misery will be a mark of shame on the party for years to come.

I want to see non-disabled people shouting about the disability benefit cuts. If you spoke out about trans rights, abortion rights, or migrant rights in recent weeks? Good on you! If you aren’t doing the same for disabled people, ask yourself why.
