But the club insisted facial recognition was for staff only…. At least Vertitran are saying the quiet bit out loud, even if the club aren’t

Today is the 37th anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster. As matchgoing fans of the era tell you, this could have happened to any of us. The Citizens Trust stands with Liverpool fans, all victims and supports the ongoing campaign for structural change via the Hillsborough Law.

If you factor in the effective loss of the specialist assessment ‘pot’ it’s a 60% reduction. I’d love to know how the government anticipate this will come close to meeting need. Here’s a clue … it won’t come close. Costs rising for providers, FAL slashed - make it make sense. @janetdaby.bsky.social

As a mum, I have been hailed by professionals who know my 1st born as a model parent (he’s an all round achiever). And condemned by some who only know my 2nd (my AuDHDer). They are nurtured the same. My parenting isn’t great or bad- It’s standard. My kids have unique attributes, in body and mind!

A fresh approach to benefit reform is needed. Disabled people must not bear the bulk of the risk in reformed health and disability benefit system. Our latest report with Scope looks at what reform is needed 🔽 1/6
"These cuts won't help more disabled people find work. A harsher system that stems from cutting costs would deepen distrust and fail to address real employment barriers for disabled people. Instead, the government should rethink these cuts and design support alongside disabled people." from Iain Porter, Senior Policy Adviser at JRF in collaboration with Scope.
