This afternoon I will be riding with @AmnestyUK and their giant billboard around my constituency in Leicester West. We're currently outside Liz Kendall's office in Leicester West.

- Hey @CrossCountryUK I really don't appreciate your train staff blaming those with mobility issues for your train departing late. I had people gawping at me when she made the announcement. It's not our fault you never put enough carriages on trains on this route.
- If you're a Labour MP and are more concerned about losing your whip than voting against these cruel cuts to disability then you're a coward. Now is not the time for cowardice.
- We've done it! We've reached the first target of 10,000 signatures!!! We did it in 6 days as well! This means the government will now respond to this petition directly. The next target is 100,000 so keep sharing on and offline. Thank you all so much! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7215…
- Well I've had 2 hours sleep and I'm meeting Sky News in 2 hours to do an interview about these cuts. Wish me luck ❤️
- I'm organising a Die-in outside Liz Kendall's office on Monday 30th June at 12pm Please attend and lie down if you can.
- If a rumour that Labour whips are ringing MPs saying that the Welfare Reform bill is a confidence vote for Keir Starmer is true then the 120 MPs need to stay strong for the Disability community. We're at risk of dying from these benefits cuts while that man would be set for life
- Morning all, Just woke up and I'm being interviewed live by Sky News from 10:30 this morning about these concessions. Obviously I'm against them because they're shafting new and future disabled people over. Anything else I need to mention please?
- Funny how a bit of power completely changes your morals and ethics. Isn't that right @AngelaRayner? It wasn't too long ago when you were in opposition and that you would have called out and challenged these Disability benefits cuts. Now you're supporting them. Disgraceful
- The proposed concessions put forward include only having the PIP changes affecting new claims not existing ones. If the concessions don't include everyone then they aren't worth the paper they're written on. Also I don't trust DWP to not "accidentally" cancel existing claims.
- Everyone meet @lukeakehurst Labour MP of North Durham. Luke is Disabled and part of the Get Britain Working Group supporting the proposed cuts to Disability benefits.. But he didn't always support proposals pushing the most Disabled people into poverty, did you Luke?
- Morning all! Given how @UKLabour like a meme I've made one describing their current policies and distraction from the real issues in the UK. If you're against Labour's planned cuts to welfare for Disabled people then please sign and share the petition. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7215…
- Liz Kendall is leaving her constituency office apparently due to intimidation & harassment. If Liz actually listened & spoke to her constituents on topics like Disability Benefits Cuts & Palestine. The local constituents wouldn't have had to protest peacefully outside it 🤷🏼♀️
- Swapping Liz Kendall for Pat McFadden isn't even a change, both are ableist and both hellbent on cutting disability benefits.
