A decade ago, the UK led Europe on LGBT rights. Today, we’ve dropped to 22nd place—the steepest fall after Hungary. This isn’t progress. It’s neglect. The government must step up before more ground is lost.

Living with a chronic condition and becoming disabled isn’t just about physical challenges—it’s about adapting to a whole new way of life. Some days are tough, but I’m learning to navigate this journey with strength, patience, and self-compassion.
