If we don’t come together to save venues like @NeathLTheatre we’re losing more than just a building. Os nad ydyn ni’n dod at ein gilydd i achub lleoliadau fel hyn, rydyn ni’n colli mwy nag adeilad yn unig: herald.wales/south-wales/nea…

"By not talking to us they're missing out on thousands of votes". We want more people with a learning disability to vote than ever before. Your vote matters.
There are 16 million disabled people in the UK but during the six weeks of campaigning, there’s been little focus on how the main political parties are going to help them. Ruben Reuter went to find out what they have to offer.

Great to see the #StolenLivesProtest on the front cover of the next edition of @CommLivingMag_ But even better that it is people with learning disabilities who take centre stage. That is how it should be.
What's new later this week apart from a new govt? Our new edition! We cover what the national priorities should be, how the summer of sport can be more inclusive and lots more, live here from Friday: communitylivingmagazine.com/

I am very uncomfortable with a billionaire author getting privileged access to a party that may shortly be in power, to discuss the rights of a minority group she doesn’t belong to, who have experienced a massive increase in hate crime, and who she believes have too many rights.

Day 3 #LearningDisabilityWeek #StolenLives Wales Homes, not hospitals 'The caged bird sings with a fearful trill, Of things unknown, but longed for still, and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom.' M.A. 'He likes to be free like a bird.'

A Welsh school's been investigated for promoting evangelical Christianity. The school planners provided to pupils have an advice page, entitled ‘Help in Time of Need’, which includes sections on suicide, sex, & abuse. The page solely refers to verses from the Bible. [Thread]
