This was my original account & why I created it. My girl. My always. For now, as a disabled person, my voice is needed for my community. We are facing far more struggles, demonisation & hate crimes. Please stick around. Will always love the dog content & your pups. Thank you!

I started this account as a tribute to my girl, my always, who I’m lost without. And to share the love I have for dogs with others like yourselves. To support others in their happiness, charity needs, your pet grief, or simply sharing moments of dog joy. Dogs are the best of us.
It’s a watercolour picture of the end of a bed. The metal railings within view. And peaking out of the bottom, resting peaceful covered in a white blanket is a small pup. She’s a tri-colour cocker spaniel. She has tan eyebrows, a little white stripe of fur that is centred on her head. An ear is draped open, in the typical spaniel way. She is sound asleep and looks peaceful. The caption at the top of the image reads “Happy to top’n’tail, just keep your feet still!”

Burnham's first Budget next week and no plans to cut the benefits bill. That's because Labour is the Welfare Party. He should adopt Conservative plans to Get Britain Working by: Rolling out Back To Work prepaid cards Reforming sick notes Introducing face-to-face reassessments Implementing the Get to Work Programme Halving under-25s NIC contributions

A 37-year-old man with a severe muscle-wasting disease has been trapped in a hospital for more than 13 months because of a dispute over his care. Ravi Mehta has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and used to receive NHS funding that allowed him to hire his own carers and to live at home. Now that has been taken away from him, and he is threatened with being put in a care home. #Duchenne #NHS #Care #Channel4News #C4News

NHS England has said that you cannot opt out of Palantir having your medical data and they refuse to review their policy. So if you live in England, Palantir, Donald Trump, Netanyahu and co have access to all your medical data. Nobody voted for this.

#C4TheExperiment is why disabled people pushed back at assisted dying. History is already repeating itself a century along and if it’s made legal who knows where it’ll end.

Judging by the abuse disabled people get everyday and the toxic narrative pushed by politicians and media, it’s easy to see how public opinion can be swayed into accepting eugenics. We’re already halfway there. Disabled people have been warning you for ages about history repeating itself. #TheExperiment

As the author of the only history book detailing over 100 years of disability rights in the UK, #TheExperiment was utterly baffling to watch. How little they touched on the fact that this rhetoric is still here, and that's WHY so many of the visitors still supported it.

🚨 BREAKING: Almost 9 MILLION people across the UK are at risk of needing a food bank in the next year. One in five people have run out of food in past year and been unable to afford to buy more. This cannot continue. The government must act ahead of the Budget to make essentials like food and bills affordable.

This isn’t what it found, as usual it’s just Helen Whately being a lying wretch of a person. It said 5 out of 6 said they had SPECIFIC disability related costs. It doesn’t mean 1 in 6 had no disability related costs. Keep calling her out. This abuse needs to end!

@Helen_WhatelyOct 15
1 in 6 PIP claimants confess they have no extra disability costs. That's why @Conservatives will shift from cash to support for people with milder conditions. Taxpayer-funded help should go to those who need it most - to live with dignity, and to work if you can.

The reality is that 5 out of 6 #PIP claimants reported as having, additional disability-related costs. The survey did not conclude that 1 in 6 claimants "confess" that they have no extra disability costs. It found that 85% of claimants said PIP enables them to do at least 1 thing they otherwise could not do. The remaining 15% simply did not select any of the options provided in that specific question. That is not evidence that they have no extra costs or no need for support.

Just a reminder…Disability benefits have been cut for 16 - 25 yr olds . New claimants are already facing a 50% reduction down to £217 a month starting in April. The new proposals look to remove this money entirely. This is under Labour .

Alex, explain how dyslexia and tennis elbow would qualify a person to claim the highest rate of the mobility (👈🏻 key word) component of PIP. We’ll wait. It’s too much to ask of anyone from the Times to question their instructions to keep attacking disabled people with lies

@alexmassieOct 13
Motability should really be understood as a hidden bung for car dealerships (disguised as a benefit for the disabled). Regardless, I think we can agree it has run its course.

More bullshit from the Times. As a society, we can either give disabled people the money they need in order to enable them to work, or not do that, and instead expect more of them to give up work and live on UC instead. Of course we know that either way, the times would be moaning.
Screenshot of an article headline from the times, appearing to critique the fact that a disabled person gets £56,000 to assist them with their work through paying for personal assistants. When we know that if this person didn't work, they would be moaning about that as well.
