Kemi Badenoch has said she does not believe one in four people are disabled. I don’t believe Kemi Badenoch is a decent human being and capable politician. We’ve all got our views, Kemi!
@jon4highpeak.bsky.social Still time to join them …
Dr Jay Watts@shrinkatlarge.bsky.social · last yr.62 MPs have signed the reasoned amendment. Maskell says many more MPs plan to vote no than have signed. Many Labour MPs and others are opposing. It’s close—so much depends on how the new wave of Labour MPs vote. #TakingThePIP

“If the bill does go ahead, the division lobby will shine a light not simply on the chasms in the Labour party, but between compassion and careerism, bravery and betrayal.” As the rebels look to do a deal with the government, my column on the whole rotten mess. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Opposition is mounting and No 10 is preparing a raft of concessions. But whatever happens next, the moral stain will remain, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

My first PhD paper is officially out in Social Science and Medicine!! It is called 'The unmothering of care: childhood disability, structural violence, and the politicisation of motherhood' and draws on ethnographic fieldwork with mothers raising disabled children in Barranquilla, Colombia
Depressing to hear the lack of planning for older people with learning disabilities being repeated in Finland too. "People with intellectual disabilities are not seen as 'equal citizens' in health and aging services" #TCC2025 @sarasiobhan.bsky.social

The government’s disability cuts could breach equality law due to their “devastating” impact on women’s dignity, experts warn. The new rules won’t take into account menstruation or some women’s extra toilet needs. My story in tomorrow’s paper: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
Labour’s benefit cuts will have ‘devastating’ impact on disabled women, say charities
Organisations say planned four-point rule will not properly take into account menstruation and other hygiene needs

Really interesting session at #TCC2025, care and technology are deeply entangled, shaping the ways in which care is both conceptualised & practiced ... #AI #DigitalTechnology #WelfareTechnology
Good to see today’s Guardian Editorial mention my story that women will lose out under the new PIP rules. If a system leaves women sitting in her bloodied underwear because she can no longer pay the care worker that used to help her get to the toilet, it is one no MP should be backing.

“Almost every cabinet minister was asked to call up Labour MPs to get them to back down and the numbers just went up” Chief political correspondent Henry Zeffman tells #BBCBreakfast about the growing rebellion from Labour MPs over the government's planned welfare changes
Keir Starmer vows to press on with welfare cuts as rebellion grows. Wrong. Listen to the poor, sick, disabled; your backbenchers. Govt can cut corporate welfare, tax the rich. HMRC didn't collect £46.8bn of taxes last yr. We are all one illness/accident away from needing benefits Oppose the cuts
PM vows to press on with welfare cuts despite growing rebellion
More than 120 Labour MPs are backing plans to block cuts to disability and sickness-related benefits.

I want to see non-disabled people shouting about the disability benefit cuts. If you spoke out about trans rights, abortion rights, or migrant rights in recent weeks? Good on you! If you aren’t doing the same for disabled people, ask yourself why.
