Disgraceful interview by David Mencer on @BBCr4today right now Appalling , gut wrenching propaganda as children starve. I despair at the depths humanity can sink to. Shocking that this man was once a Director of Labour Friends of Israel Well done @bbcnickrobinson for trying to hold him to account.

I know coverage of disability benefits can be very distressing. So, I’ve worked with colleagues to make a range of support visible on The Guardian’s site. If you click on a relevant news story, you’ll see a “drop box” of signposted mental health help as well as benefits advice.

When I wrote about assisted dying last month, I was told by advocates - including a nurse - that disabled people’s fears of a slippery slope is “propaganda” and hysterical. Consider that this is what The Times was willing to print. Imagine what these people are saying in private.
Matthew Parris says the quiet part out loud about euthanasia: “we simply cannot afford extreme senescence or desperate infirmity for as many such individuals as our society is producing.”

What I didn't need on #InternationalWheelchairDay was to go down a rabbit-hole reading numerous reviews of a revived show in which a wheelchair is used as a metaphor for powerlessness. As annoyed at the theatre critics giving it stars in 2024 as at the company for staging it 1/3

A council has been told by disabled campaigners that a “discriminatory” draft policy that could force people with high support needs into residential care is “fundamentally flawed” and “rides roughshod” over its obligations under the Care Act. buff.ly/47Vi9F3

I so appreciate this sharp reframing of the endless, exhausting discussions on trigger warnings

The folk @AAA_Prods have created some gorgeous films with the cast for their upcoming co-production with @royalcourt #Imposter22. Expect the unexpected? That's our cup of tea
1/3 “Oh, hello and welcome to my island. How can I help you?” Meet Todd. Dayo brings his fantastic presence and energy to this laid-back character who is certainly a nice addition to the not-always-so-lovely #Imposter22 bunch.

Our Transforming Leadership National programme is in full swing! Here are a few snaps of last week's London residencies. We welcomed our partner organisations for the whole week and provided training for future learning disabled and autistic leaders in governance roles!
