Meet the “sickfluencers”: disabled people turn to TikTok for help with disability benefits - and the media says they’re scroungers gaming the system. My col. on Fraser Nelson’s stitch up job, and the paranoia those with the least might get an advantage. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Denied Access even though it had been pre agreed & arranged to allow the book “The Department’ By John Pring @Johnpring to be delivered to 650 MP’s Security was laughing at the group of disabled people waiting to get in - why ? #TheDepartment #NoMoreBenefitDeaths
Was waiting to go in at this point. Security were the other side of door laughing at us. We had pressed the buzzer before we found out we were not allowed in so then we occupied the space

Liverpool has a reall access problem and this needs much more attention. Bold Street in particular is a hazard for wheelchair users.Thank you for covering this.
Our Campaigns and Policy Manager @KayInckle was out in #Liverpool with Terri from @RNIB and @BBCNWT filming some of the access barriers for #Disabled cyclists and pedestrians in the city, including @boldstreet, pictured below.

Yes we have thrown the gauntlet down. The damage over the last 14 years is huge. The austerity has killed so many disabled people. We no longer will be a footnote or an afterthought Via @johnpringdns #DisabledPeopleDemand
Disabled activists have “thrown the gauntlet down” to the new Labour government, as more than 100 protesters gathered opposite the House of Commons to call for action to address the damage caused by 14 years of Conservative rule. #DisabledPeopleDemand buff.ly/3WwkcNG

Clarification needed from the Government Be aware of the direct stress & anxiety this is causing many Disabled Peoples mental heath Key factors of the Care Act Empowerment Prevention Protection Proportionality Partnership Accountability #DisabledPeopleDemand
Am I the only one bemused by the lack of info from @DWPgovuk + @UKLabour on the new split of disability-related ministerial responsibilities? Much of it looks positive (splitting benefits from work, etc), but so far a stubborn refusal to comment. @stephenctimms @Alison_McGovern.
