Last week marked the completion of the 10th focus group of the project; a few more collective discussions are scheduled to take place in the coming days. All the insights and discussions have been amazing. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to the project so far!

I am immensely grateful for everyone's time, energy, and input! After the completion of a few more focus groups, I will take some time to plan the next phase (alongside finishing off the last logistical steps for the publication of the Disabling Capitalism book).

Violence is a feature of the welfare state, not a bug. In No More Deaths by Welfare, China Mills exposes the lethal mechanics of Britain’s social security system that has been weaponised against the very people it claims to support.

The government has announced plans for stronger protections when airlines lose or damage wheelchairs. For a wheelchair user, damaged equipment can mean losing independence, mobility and the ability to carry out everyday activities. Compensation matters. But preventing damage, training staff and holding airlines accountable matter just as much. These are proposed legal changes, not protections already fully in force. #WheelchairUser #AccessibleTravel #DisabilityRights #AirTravel #Accessibility
