Today I put my money where my mouth is...
I have not only signed up to @TheGreenParty but I also went out delivering leaflets (yes on a Sunday).
I meet some very beautiful people, along with the occasional spider web. Absolutely shattered but definitely well worth it...

#AmazonPromoteAutisticAbuse www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Amazon is selling books saying bleach enemas can 'cure' autistic people - so, a protest will call them out

The concept of “curing” autism is not only scientifically unfounded but rooted in ableist thinking - yet Amazon promotes it anyway

An excellent article from @nicolajeffery.bsky.social As someone who has #EDS, #arthritis and a host of comorbidities I find the content very relatable. How the DWP expect us to survive without #PIP is beyond me. Life is challenging when you’re #disabled, #chronicallyill or have #mentalhealth issues

Nicola Jeffery @nicolajeffery.bsky.social · Apr 23

This is my latest for @TheCanaryUK. I have documented the reality of trying to work so far this year as a #ChronicallyIll & #Disabled person.

With the #DWP planning on taking away #PIP, along with forcing work, where will this leave so many of us...???

The Canary @thecanaryuk.bsky.social · Apr 23

I've already been too sick to work for half of this year - and Liz Kendall wants to cut my DWP PIP?

Canary writer Nicola Jeffery lost nearly 7 weeks of her life this year due to her chronic illnesses & Labour thinks cutting her PIP is going to make her work MORE???

The DWP PIP survey on how people spend their money is being sent out. Here's what's in it.

For once the rumours are actually true: the DWP survey on how people spend their PIP is arriving in the post.

In short: tell them to Fuck Off.

The media blackout on Israel burning Palestinian journalist Ahmad Mansour alive is to be expected

Israel's attack on a media tent burnt Ahmad Mansour alive, but mainstream Western media hasn't bothered to report on it.

We are plumbing new depths of depravity.

A disabled person from Liz Kendall's constituency has launched a petition against her brutal DWP cuts

Disabled people who cannot work should not have their DWP benefits cut - yet this is exactly what Labour is doing.

So, PLEASE sign and share this petition.
