This is a shameful acquiescence to #RightWingMedia and the vilification of #Disabled people. Please show solidarity and sign ASAP.

Petition: Stop proposed changes to the Motability Scheme

The recent budget has announced taxes on advanced payments and a decrease in mileage allowances. We believe this is unfair to the most vulnerable in society and could affect their independence.

It's with great sadness that we learn of the death of our thalidomide sister, Martine Olivier who died today. She was a fearsome campaigner on behalf of her fellow Belgian thalidomiders. RIP Martine, chérie.

“Everyone knows that healing only properly begins with an apology. Even sixty years of trauma can be erased by a heartfelt ‘sorry’. To refuse one is to extend the trauma, the hurt, the feeling of exclusion indefinitely” Mary Clarken, 95 years old today, Thalidomide Mother.

I’m speaking out because cutting PIP would be devastating. It’s been my lifeline — helping me live independently and build a comedy career. Without it, I wouldn’t have managed. This is about dignity, not just money. These cuts are dangerous. Stop #TakingThePIP. @TakingThePIP1
A black and white photo of Lost Voice Guy with short hair, wearing a plain dark T-shirt. Centred over his torso is a soft, semi-transparent box containing a quote in black text. The quote reads: "PIP hasn’t just supported me — it’s empowered me. Without it, I wouldn’t have been able to travel for work, tour with my show, or stay independent. Everything I’ve achieved so far has been possible because I’ve had the right support at the right time." Below the quote, in bold text: #TAKINGTHEPIP.

Petition: Protect Disabled people who cannot work from planned cuts to benefits

Petition: Protect Disabled people who cannot work from planned cuts to benefits

We want the Government to halt all planned benefit cuts for disabled people unable to work. Instead of reducing benefits, we want them to rise in line with inflation. We want support, not hardship...
