Thank you for your support Wera!

Productive meeting with Baroness Merron and campaigner @hopevirgo.bsky.social to discuss eating disorder prevention and treatment.

Eating disorder cases are skyrocketing- yet treatment is often underfunded and misunderstood.

I will keep pushing the government to make eating disorders a priority.

It's absolutely shocking how mental health care in Wales is still this bad. I was at uni in Cardiff in 2009-2012 and it was terrible then. And it's not like they haven't had their fair share of people campaigning for it!

What do you think is holding them back?

Please read my latest which highlights the vital work of @mindcymru.bsky.social

Thank you!

Thanks!

Will it be recorded? Midnight on a work day might be too late for the Brits!

Reminder than anyone of us can become disabled in a matter of seconds. All it takes is one accident, one symptom, one illness.

It might not be you facing destitution today, but it could be tomorrow. Be kind. Fight back. #DisabilityBenefits

Whatever this heinous Government says today, please remember lots of people will be fighting back.

Take time out if you need, remember that you matter as you are worthy of being here and being supported.

Behind the headlines and the stigmatising language about disability benefits are real people - millions of them. People who are scared about what this news might mean for their day-to-day lives. 1/2

Being disabled is not a choice.
It’s not a “lifestyle”.
It’s not sitting at home all day enjoying life.

It’s being disabled.
It’s having life-limiting g health conditions.
It’s constant pain, debilitating symptoms, and never being able to truly enjoy life to the fullest.

It's even WORSE than I expected. I thought they might face more opposition from the back benches and be forced to roll back a bit. This is horrendous. In the middle of a cost of living crisis when people are on their knees anyway.

Nobody CHOOSEs to be disabled and unable to work.

EURGH SO ANGRY

In a way I kind of feel for some of those Labour voters. I think many of them did genuinely believe they were voting for change.
It was my first time voting Lib Dem in about 14 years because I couldn't trust them.

Absolutely horrified that a government we all thought would be marginally better is choosing to cut benefits for the most vulnerable members of society in the middle of the cost of living crisis.

Disabled people are already living in poverty.

Immoral and wrong. #disabilitybenefits

🚨 NEW: The RCPsych has identified plans that would result in funding cuts for children and young people’s eating disorder services in more than half of areas across England.

We're calling for the creation of a national strategy for eating disorders in England.

If you could find a way to generate electricity from Ronald Reagan spinning in his grave you'd be able to power the Eastern Seaboard right now.

If this were play’d upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.

Please do sign this petition we've been working on with Birmingham for Ukraine. Our initial research suggests roughly 30% of Ukrainians in the UK have had problems renewing/getting tenancy agreements and/or job contracts because of difficulties with visas. postsocialistbritain.bham.ac.uk/ukraine/
