Usual disclaimers:

- Of course, there are other sites, but this is literally the govs own
- Not all disabled people need fully remote and/or part time, but many do
- if you're gonna come into my mentions being a prick, go get a fucking hobby

Semi-regular update on how many jobs there actually are for disabled people in the UK, according to DWP Find a Job

All Jobs: 110,774
Fully Remote: 673
Of which are disability confident: 92
Of which are part-time: 5

BUT 3 of them are in care homes, so TWO WHOLE JOBS

The IDF is a brutal occupying army currently committing genocide. Chanting death to the IDF isn't antisemitic.

Police and the corporate media are weaponising the Manchester attack - yet damning failings by GMP are already being exposed

The contempt labour is showing for disabled people whilst cutting our benefits and support is absolutely fucking vile

Buried lede here is that this has come only after the handful of anti-trans obsessives pushing this were repeatedly rebuffed by most pond users who were supportive of or indifferent to trans-inclusive policy, and so resorted to legal coercion to impose their will instead.
It comes amid a battle between groups who swim in the natural pools, with a protest in 2018 in the men’s pond by women wearing fake moustaches and beards to draw attention to the organisation’s refusal to ban trans women from the ladies’ pond.

While this was unsuccessful, the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond Association (KLPA) rejecting a motion among its 200 members last year that “only those born female in sex can use the pond”, pressure has since mounted after the supreme court ruled earlier this year that trans women were not legally defined as women.

The consultation appears to have come in response to threatened legal action by the campaign group Sex Matters.

while I’m here, LONDON I’ll be at Conway Hall on 15th with the incredible Stephen Unwin. We’ll be discussing disability activism, how the rights and dignities of disabled people were won and why we still need to fight now.

The event is in person and streamed online. Book signings after.

Treatment of disabled panellist shows just how much contempt Labour has for disabled people

At Labour's conference, a fringe event failed to provide basic accessibility for a disabled panellist so he could join speakers on stage, writes @rachelcdailey.bsky.social
