London Calling 
London has changed little. The fog still sits in the street like a lazy cat, and the gaslights flicker as if ashamed to be seen by day. If the Empire is tottering, no one has informed the hansom drivers.

I recently listened to a debate by Manchester City Council on 'Understanding' and 'Tackling Anti-Arab Racism' in the city. Are the council aware that Albert Hourani, author of 'A History of the Arab Peoples', was actually born in Manchester in 1915?

This goes back to Blair who was never a serious member of the Labour movement and simply saw it as a means to power. Labour was so starved of being out of government it prostituted its working class roots in favour of Tory middle class votes and has done ever since.

Keir Starmer is appointing a former Sun editor to a top government comms role, while watering down the Hillsborough Law.

Bootlicking the Murdoch press, betraying the people of Liverpool and insulting every campaigner for justice.

Justice For The 97.

When the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act was passed I thought great we’ve won I never thought we’d be fighting a Labour government tooth and nail for just common sense and decency on benefits. The wheel has turned back 30 years.

I never wanted to be normal but I never wanted my disability to be a barrier. So I pushed against anyone who dared to say I wasn’t capable of doing something. I’ve become a fiction author recently. I would like to write something about disability experiences but I feel depressed at where we are

I’m 67 been a β€˜disabled activist’ all my life and I bet you’ve never heard of me. It’s because I’ve rejected the organisations disabled people formed as ineffective. They spent most of their time disagreeing amongst themselves. My effective work was in the workplace and as trustee.

This Disability Pride month, I’m grateful for the readers who say Who Wants Normal? is helping them feel more valued and confident. This book was never about downplaying inequality but proudly rejecting the shame and stereotypes the non-disabled world forces on us. With jokes.

Farage is a symptom not the problem as is Trump people refer to his β€˜supporters’ as if it’s their fault. It’s Tory and Labour cynically manipulating voters and finally being caught out that’s fuelled populism. The system is broken and we need to fix it together.

And Starmer’s answer is to think about appointing someone from the Sun as his communication director-a plague on all their houses at the moment democracy is failing us completely
