No change from Burnham. More of the same
Burnham's speech re welfare "I take very seriously Alan Milburn's report" "Where young people need mental health support it should be provided as part of in-work support" "We'll answer call for devolution of employment support...working with orgs people trust rather than fear"

Sending Solidarity at the start of #DisabilityPrideMonth ✊ In 2021 City of York Council resolved to fly our flag. Today for the first time ever it will be flown above the Mansion House and for the first week of July every year. Only took 5 years from policy to practice ‼️

Disabled people in England have been betrayed by the weakening of accessible housing standards. The @NIOgov must not copy @UKLabour's failure. This isn’t reform, it’s a political choice to build exclusion into the future. theguardian.com/world/2025/d…

It’s starting to feel dangerous to be disabled — not because of our bodies, but because of how the government talks about us. When leaders frame us as burdens or costs, it fuels public resentment. I can feel the hostility growing and growing. Disabled people deserve dignity and safety, not stigma or scapegoating.

#DNRs Still it continues, DNRs placed on people with learning difficulties without their knowledge & consent. This is totally unacceptable and must stop! The NHS yet again showing disabled people are disposable itv.com/news/2025-11-14/do-n…
