Can’t listen to James o’Brien this morning. He is dangerously close to saying that it’s perfectly okay to balance the country’s books by making severe cuts that force disabled people into poverty cos it’s Labour who is doing it. It was a terrible policy & thank God the rebels stood up for us.

Really hate how after every conversation I have I need to replay it over in my head and cringe at what I’ve said, like the doc really doesn’t care about my social awkwardness & even notices but I’m sitting here worrying they think I’m weird. #AuDhd

This government has demonstrated, in practice, it is more anti-migrant, anti-trans and anti-disabled than any in recent memory. All to play to Reform. That is not opinion, it is verifiable. We are debating the equivalent between "firing squad or hanging", different methods, same, terminal, outcome.

Labour continuing to demonstrate that they're massively trying to lose next year's Scottish Election (having been leading in the polls only months ago) by doubling down on an indefensible and hated policy choice.

"I will always put working people first" says Reeves. So screw the disabled who cannot work. We hear what this government is saying and we get it. We disabled people don't count to this Labour government. #springstatement #Labour #welfarenotwarfare

Jake Richards, the (apparently) Labour MP for Rother Valley, showing a world-beating level of arrogance & ignorance while pontificating on scared disabled ppl & stating that MH conditions are overdiagnosed with F all evidence to back it up. & don’t get me started on Matthew Syed. #newsnight

Seeing we are under a red warning tomorrow, having just had my phone line replaced from the telephone pole in the back garden into the flat after months of problems. Hoping my lovely Open Reach engineer’s hours of work isn’t wrecked by Storm Éowyn, it’s going to get a battering! #storméowyn

Got a prescription for adhd meds to try them but totally forgot when in town today to collect them. This comes after I was convinced I’d dropped my keys in the recycling wheelie bin, completely forgetting 30secs earlier I’d opened door with it & left it in said door as I always do. My brain!!!

Nothing like being told by a consultant you’ve just met that they’re not really sure what you’re doing here & the procedure you’re gowned up for might not actually solve your issues, have you really tried everything else first? Cue meltdown & me crying in a room on my own, feel like walking out.
