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…

I’m totally disgusted and sad about this @seandilleyNEWS you should not or anyone else be subject to this. I am an ex mobility officer and still trying my best to highlight issues for change as a lecturer.

I’m writing a piece for @TelegraphTravel covering 10 of the ‘most accessible’ cities in Europe. Accessibility is so nuanced and lots of these roundups miss that. I’d love recommendations to include from fellow disabled people. Where, and why? #DisabilityTwitter #JournoRequest

If you think I’m too young, stay in your lane 🙅 Many younger Blue Badge holders have been told that they’re surely too young to need one. Sometimes even being confronted by strangers in car parks. 📢Anyone can be disabled at any age, and it will look different for everyone.
