Let's talk about duty. Disabled people do not have a duty to work unsuitable jobs. Let's get that clear. The government *does* have a duty to not dehumanise the million disabled people who want to work but are denied the chance. It’s a duty the government is failing on 🧵 1/7

Ableist assumptions can become reality by creating barriers for disabled people. It's time to change perspective 👓 📹 "Assume I can. So maybe I will."

The government has announced the most devastating cuts to disability benefits on record. These plans should shame the government to its core. Here's our initial response to the new Welfare Green Paper 🧵👇

Hi @Telegraph, Why are you so against disabled children being able to see themselves reflected in their toys? Don't they deserve the right to play? Weaponising disabled representation like this is hugely damaging. Please change this headline.

"These people are, frankly, parasites." Isabel Oakeshott's views on people who claim benefits belong in the past. This kind of sentiment is disgraceful. And fuels a dangerous narrative towards disabled people that we must stand against.

Today was always going to be a difficult one. But #BleakFriday just got bleaker. ❌ Government have announced they will cut support through the Warm Home Discount from almost 300,000 disabled people. This is an insult. 🧵 1/7

We’ve turned replies off on this thread, something that we’ve never done before ❌ But we don’t feel we have a choice. Earlier this week we posted about ableist slurs in Ricky Gervais’ new show. As a result, our replies have been full of abuse towards disabled people 🤬 1/7

We're pleased to see that the headline has now been changed. But it should never have been published in the first place. Thank you @LEGO_Group for helping make sure that disabled children to are represented during play.

We're still without a Minister for Disabled People... This is the longest gap without a minister in post in the last 30 years. What kind of message does the government thinks this sends to the country's 16 million disabled people?

We wish we were surprised by reports that @rickygervais has used ableist slurs in his new @netflix special 📺 Language like this has consequences. And we’re just not accepting the explanation that Gervais uses to try and justify this language 🧵 1/4

Today's news feels like an assault on disabled people. We are in a cost-of-living crisis. Government looking to slash disabled people’s income by hitting personal independence payment (PIP) is a horrific proposal. It's dangerous and risks leaving disabled people destitute.

✍️ Disability benefits are a lifeline. They help to counteract the massive extra costs that disabled people face. They aren't "perverse incentives that drive people into welfare dependency" ❌
