Where’s the justice for people with learning disabilities neglected in care? I’ve spent 18 months investigating. No providers prosecuted, even after a person died I interviewed the CQC, with powers to prosecute but rarely does. 11 since 2016 relating to learning disability care

@biggervoice's wish is that those who want to go online should do so...and they should feel safe. #DoYouSeeMe #LDWeek2026 #LearningDisabilityWeek

Our members want to go online to make their world bigger, but some don't feel safe or try at all. Our media team then thought about #SocialMedia, their experience & how it makes them feel. To help people with #LearningDisabilities who want to go online the team created this:

Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas

Today, thousands of Londoners from all backgrounds gathered in Trafalgar Square to watch the Passion of Jesus, performed by @WintershallPlay. My best wishes to all Christians observing Good Friday - a time to reflect on Jesus Christ’s message of courage, compassion and empathy.

🚑 New Year’s Day was the busiest day for 999 calls in the NHS’s history, but ambulances still arrived 15 minutes faster than the same time last year. 🗣️ @WesStreeting: "We’ve got lots more to do, but our plan is working and moving the NHS in the right direction."

Thank you everyone for sending this to over half a million views. If UK news shows won’t call out this bull**** from Nigel Farage and others let’s do it ourselves
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it. We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history. If you agree RT this FACT CHECK widely

Waiting lists are falling. Ambulances are arriving faster. Patient satisfaction with access to GPs is up. There’s far more to do - but Labour is getting the NHS back on its feet.

Robert Jenrick on Farage: "I don't think Nigel is the bloke you want to have running your kids' schools or running your local hospital or... trust your savings, your pension, your small business to." (September 2025) "I don't think he's a serious politician." (Oct 2024)

Our members have someting to say about the delay in the Leder report: “We have a right to know the findings” “The errors need to be corrected, but we should know what they are” “LEDER isn’t being taken seriously” #LDE #wecantwait learningdisabilityengland.or… @wesstreeting
