"Fraud level for Pip remains less than 1% and that 46% of applications are refused – with a shocking 70% of those refusals that go to appeal being overturned...There are 16 million disabled people in the UK – not even a quarter of those people currently receive Pip..." #TakingThePip 2/2

Labour is taking the Pip – and disabled people have had enough | Cherylee Houston

I am in tears reading the stories of what might happen if these further cuts go ahead, which is why I’ve joined forces with others to demand action, says actor Cherylee Houston

The kiddo wasn't scheduled to perform, but decided she fancied it, so she negotiated herself a last-minute signing spot for the last song! #camdenmusicfestival #bsl #Camden #deaf #inclusion #tracheostomy #proudmama #medicallycomplex #deafgirl #bslchoir #signlanguage ##royalalberthall #rah

My sister-in-law with #profoundLD had her day centre place unpaid by #LBH in similar way, leaving my 80 yr old MIL to do all care during day alone. #Haringey only backed down when we threatened #judicialreview. #failingdisabled #shame #disability #carers

The first time in 21 years for the Social Democrats to be the largest party in Finnish municipal elections.

Janne M. Korhonen @jmkorhonen.fi · Apr 13

Municipal elections in #Finland shaping up to a major, even unprecedented victory for the left in general. Social Democrats set to become the biggest party, and are very close to winning the vote in Helsinki - would be the first time in half a century. Radical right is the biggest loser.💪

I remain gravely concerned by today’s welfare announcement, to put it mildly.

Cutting social security for disabled people will only deepen poverty and inequality.

This wasn’t in our manifesto and it isn’t what people voted for when they elected a Labour government.

Happy #internationalwomensday. It feels like #equality is going backwards and it scares the s#it out of me. Time to celebrate #sisterhood and love #women in our lives.

#travelling with #tracheostomy top tips:
1. Check out hospitals / level of medical care
2. Pack up more of medical disposables you need
3. It's all about risk management- you can't control everything!
4. #Adventures belong to everyone! #medicallycomplextravel ##deaftravel
