One of the hardest things to accept is that even if you give people all of the right information about something, it doesn’t mean it will change their mind.

For the SIXTEEN MILLION disabled people in the UK, this general election has been a very long wait. Through austerity, demonisation of us, dangerous NHS cuts, the pandemic (“let the bodies pile high), cuts to carers benefits, the DWP in general… 16 million of us failed.

Brace yourselves everyone. This is going to be a dirty election. Trans people are going to be a pawn in the tories culture war propaganda in their dying election bid. Allies, our trans siblings will need us now more than ever.

Get your ID folks! They're right. Things can only get better! The Tories have purposefully introduced this to stop the young (the old can use bus passes, young can't) from voting! Apply for photo ID to vote- GOV.UK gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-vo…

I’ve just been told that when my brother passed away on the M50 on Friday that several cars stopped and people sat around him until the ambulance came so he wasn’t alone, i really want to find them if people can please share 🤍

As you seek out your ID before heading to the polling station, remember that over the last decade, there have been more Tory MPs convicted of sexual offences than voters convicted of electoral fraud

Exploited, eh? PIP was one of the worst ordeals of my life, where you have to basically convince an utterly disinterested, unempathetic "assessor" whose default setting is "you're lying". And that's exactly what my first assesment said, basically.

The PIP assessments are NOT easily exploited. Pipe down you gaslighting pipsqueak. Enough. #Sunakered #ToriesOut662

I’m not going to be nice about this because I swear to god the fucking apathy will end up killing us all. If you give a shit about your children, families, friends, neighbours, acquaintances & literally anyone else at all, then get off your arses & fucking vote the Tories OUT 🗳️

I’m so tired of disabled people being left behind in almost every way. In education, economics, diversity, I could go on. With society uprising, disabled people are the last to be helped or thought of. I can’t tell you how traumatizing it is to be abandoned.

Hearing government upset by harsh words from disability organisations/charities in response to DWP's proposed PIP reforms. They should suck it up. Language used towards #disabled people has been ugly. Gutter stuff. Don't like hurty words aimed at you? Watch your own mouth

Ending PIP will literally kill thousands of disabled people. Thousands. More blood on the hands of Tories. Even if they don’t implement this, the very thought may send people into despair and suicide. Fuck the Tories. I hope they all experience the worst Karma can give them. – at South West, England

Disability Rights UK responds to todays benefit announcement which reads as a crackdown on Disabled claimants! Read the full statement here: 👇 disabilityrightsuk.org/news/…
This section of the statement reads: It was incredibly disappointing to hear Mel Stride, the work and pensions secretary, discuss our experiences as Disabled people with such clear disdain. The language was belittling to all of us Disabled people, suggesting that the experience we all share as Disabled people – of exclusion, suspicion and isolation has nothing to do with the Government’s slash-and-burn approach to public services is as embarrassing as it is inaccurate.

Terrifying time to live in the UK if you’re disabled. I’m very concerned for my future.

Looks like we’re at it again aren’t we? Let’s clarify: I am in work, as a disabled person and I am claiming PIP to enable me to be in work! I have a job and I claim PIP to help with extra costs of being disabled. Can news outlets get this right? #Yorkshire

HMRC prosecuted just 11 wealthy individuals last year for tax evasion There is currently £120 BN lost every year due to tax avoidance by the wealthy Disabled people on benefits aren’t the reason the NHS is failing, why the roads & sewers fall apart It’s parasites at the top

People don't choose to be on disability benefits. It's their last resort. Stop blaming people with mental health problems. If the Secretary of State wants a grown-up conversation about this, then he should meet with us. We've sent an invite. 1/3

A handful of evil powerful people are holding us all hostage from the better world we know we could have. It is a moral duty to defy them, disobey. Wear a mask, divest yourself from the excesses of capitalism. Consume less, learn more, take care of others. Burn this system down.
