Disability doesn’t care how old you are. Specialist food is no cheaper if you’re 19. Employers don’t lose their prejudice if you’re 21. This is blatant intergenerational inequality from Labour. Younger disabled people of all severities deserve better. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Exclusive: Plan under discussion involves intensive support to help young people into employment

Anyone saying people fake disability to rake in benefits instead of working hasn't filled in the Universal Credit Work Capability form. Not a single question about work, but 2 pages detailing how often you shit yourself. Purposefully dehumanising for an extra 217 quid a month

“They’re the victims of this, but then they’re victimised for the sin of having this illness.” George Monbiot on why government and society as a whole need to stop gaslighting people with #MECFS and making them feel they’ve done something wrong.

For what it's worth- I do think trans people are allowed to express some frustration at cis people's insistence that inanimate objects and structures are more worthy of protection than they are. I'm not saying they should be torn down or whatever at all, just that trans peeps should be given room.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️
