So frustrating healing from a dislocated shoulder. I’ve just moved house and I want to continue cleaning and organising and instead I have to ask for help to cook meals?? This is my DC origin story 🤪🤪🤪

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Big picture today is Government chose to cut unprecedented £5bn of income from disabled people at highest risk of hardship. This drive for cost savings undermines any positive changes contained in the disability benefits green paper.

The British public have clearly got a sense that *someone* undeserving has taken all the money, which is true, a class of people have, but it's truly a sign of painfully evil the British spirit is that so many are convinced it's the disabled and people on benefits who have made off with it.

All Labour MPs have reportedly been called in to Downing Street for talks with Starmer about the expected disability benefits cuts.
If you have a Labour MP, this is the time to email them. Tell them your objections. Tell them your experience.
