It’s been a long day but great to have been invited by Ofcom and CYA to look at online regulation and protection for disabled people online.

Anyone suggest some good car insurance for WAV - shock horror it seems to be a premium across the board just for WAVS. 🚗

There’s going to be a general election this year. You might have heard about it... 🗳️

But 8 in 10 disabled people think politicians are out of with their lives.

We don’t know exactly when the election will be, but one thing is clear... disabled people must not be ignored 🧵1/4

Shout out to Islington Council who invited me to deliver an awareness lunch and learn session for 50 members of their staff. Great to have been so well received.

Ableism is so ingrained in society, that as a wheelchair user I could rob a bank and the jury would say “yeah but it’s nice to see her getting out the house”

People ask me why I keep coming back and it's because this is so rare!

More evidence that if you build it for disabled people, we will come

Loose Women ITV What a horrifically patronising ableist message to send out - particularly when one of your own (@sophmorgTV) is a wheelchair user herself. Being a wheelchair user is not a bad thing & doesn't mean you can't have a fulfilling life. Wheelchairs are liberating!

This week I had the privilege of being interviewed for BBC Access All to discuss some of the horrendous ableism we all too often see online. Why isn’t ableism taken as seriously as other hate crimes / hate speech?

'What happened in a classroom in Aberdeenshire, then, was not an anomaly... It is a particularly blatant example of what disabled people endure daily'

Sad but powerful piece from Frances Ryan on the disabled kids removed from their school photo theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Up early off for my pre op consultation! Got to love those 7.30 am doctors appointments when you live two hours away! 🤦🏼‍♀️
Anyway, at least by today I’ll finally have my operation date! Hurrah! 🙏🏻

Not good enough in my eyes. Saying ‘some members’ instead of saying what actually happened! You erased Disabled kids…
