On autism and loneliness: "Many autistic people want to build connections with people, but this can so easily become overstimulating and exhausting. This creates a vicious cycle. Autistic processing may intensify this cycle." From @craeioe.bsky.social:

I’d much rather be able to work 8 hours per day, than I would spend 8+ hours managing disabilities for a lot less money.

I’d much rather be able to walk and get around freely, than I would lease a car through Motability.

People act like it’s a choice… they are so, so wrong.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. TAX WEALTH - with image of Nigel Farage NOT WORK - with image of a hospital cleaner Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Rachel Reeves is reportedly considering raising income tax next month.

Of course Labour are planning on going after working people while conveniently ignoring the super-rich who are hoarding this country's wealth.

The Green Party is clear - time to tax wealth, not work.

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

Tell Keir Starmer: acknowledge the genocide

The Labour Party Conference accepted Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, and demanding sanctions. Take two minutes to email the PM to accept the UN Commission on genocide, and ends all arms sales to Israel. palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/Starmer-Labo...

"..it’s clear that @zackpolanski.bsky.social is a *much* more effective public speaker than Starmer, Badenoch or Davey, and possibly on a par (albeit very differently) to Farage.

It’s no wonder Labour are privately pretty worried about possible losses to the Greens."

- Go Zack.

We're out protesting today alongside other Disabled-led organisations to say NO to the Assisted Dying Bill.

With the Government pushing through some of the worst disability benefit cuts we've ever seen, we cannot afford to place our lives in the hands of such an ableist society.
