Suggestions of great books to read (I like musicians’, historic or artists’ auto & biographies, & writers e.g. Murakami, Donna Tartt & Nicola Barker) & great albums to listen to (I love The Cure but I like indie pop to drum n bass) are very welcome! Thank you so much! ❤️💗

Olivia Blake, one of only nine MPs in parliament who has a disclosed disability, urges her colleagues to vote against the bill.

The government must create a “compassionate” benefits system which does not “demonise people for needing social security support” to prevent further deaths of claimants, the Work and Pensions Select Committee chair has warned

Why is it a crime to be ill? Why is it a crime to ask for help to live your best life? Why is it a crime to be supported at work?

Adding my voice to the #TakingThePip campaign & asking our government to STOP these barbaric & inhumane cuts to the #DisabledCommunity Up to 1.3 million people could be forced into poverty & this is a crisis!
The government is proposing huge PIP cuts here’s why that’s a disaster. Disabled households already face: 63% higher living costs £1010/month in extra expenses, food bank reliance, struggles to afford heating, rent or food. Rising poverty. Up to 1.3 million people could be hit. This isn’t just a policy change - it’s a crisis. Ask your government to STOP #TakingThePip
