Disabled people who can’t work should get more than the minimum wage in benefits.

This should not be a controversial thing to say, especially when being disabled costs more than £1000 extra per month on average.

You cannot “incentivise” work for those unable to work.

To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement:

Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️

EXC - 42 MPs have signed a letter to Keir Starmer saying the disability cuts are “impossible to support”

PM is facing biggest rebellion of the parliament over welfare vote

MPs call for pause and rethink until fuller impact assessments can be done in autumn and warn disabled people are frightened

Trans folks deserve so much better than what this world is doing to them.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Pessimism is easy. It makes you feel smart. But optimism? Real optimism? That’s an act of rebellion. A refusal to accept the worst as inevitable. A belief that things can, and will, get better—if we choose to make them.

There will be calls to leave behind people more vulnerable than you this year. Many people will. You won’t.

There is nothing more metal than trans rights
