1/ 🚨 To all @UKLabour MPs: You hold 403 seats. 127 of you have now signed the amendment challenging the proposed changes to disability benefits. That’s not a minor rebellion — it’s a movement.

1/ To all @UKLabour MPs — don’t be pressured into voting YES on July 1st. Reform is needed, but not like this. The recent U-turn protects current PIP claimants while unfairly targeting future applicants. That’s not reform — it’s division. We need leadership that listens, not legislation

1/ I’m not especially knowledgeable on our politics let alone the US. I do not agree with lots that T says, but I did like his enthusiasm for his country. That felt authentic. We seem to have lost pride in our country somewhat. I believe in inclusion of different faiths, cultures etc but I don’t

1/ It’s been a hard week following friends visiting last weekend which was lovely but the ME Association AGM really finished me off. Still absolutely exhausted. Not sure what you’ve heard but a whole hour dedicated to the Trustees life stories was a tad too long & unnecessary given it was a AGM.

1/ I’ve decided to document my journey with MCAS and my digestive system to help raise awareness of this awful illness because it is under recognized by the NHS, partly because they don’t understand it and maybe because there are no NICE guidelines. I want to change that if I can.
