So sad to hear of the passing of Walter Koenig (90). Some of my earliest memories were of him as navigator of the USS Enterprise. I once got drunk with him in the late 80s at the Norbreck Castle Hotel in Blackpool whilst attending a Star Trek convention. Funny, humble guy. Warp Speed my friend, RIP.

No, NFT buyers, you've not been mocked enough.

You couldn't make the West Wing today as the idea of a moral, ethical and intelligent President would be laughed at.

Nearly half of people who apply for PIP are in work and use the funds to enable themselves to stay in work. Cutting PIP will add to the welfare budget as those people will no longer be able to stay in the work force.

“A taker, you say?” 👇👇💪

Instagram, Facebook and TikTok fail to act on animations spreading hate and lies about PIP claimants #PIP #Instagram #Facebook #TikTok www.disabilitynewsservice.com/instagram-fa...

The Times blocks DNS from raising concerns with its readers about DWP deaths, in response to Burnham ‘welfare inquiry’ article @thetimes.com #DWP #DWPdeaths www.disabilitynewsservice.com/the-times-bl...

Health messages on cigarette packets have worked. We should do the same with betting shops. A third of the frontage should have a big yellow on black sign saying "We're still in business because you keep on losing. You're all losers."

What the shitting fuck?

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

Reform are not interested in protecting women and girls... #StopReform #StopFarage #VAWG

“Living with #ChronicPain is a journey of ups and downs. Just when you feel you've found a rhythm, a surge of intense and overwhelming pain can crash over you… Flares can be particularly challenging… intensifying your usual pain levels.” https://buff.ly/GRWSq34 #ChronicIllness #Disability

Piers Morgan “Mohammed, do you condemn the Hamas attacks on October the 7th?” Mohammed Hijab “Yes, I do. Do you condemn Israel killing over 1000 kids?” Piers Morgan “I believe Israel has a right to defend themselves” That answer should be on the tombstone of his career.

If your kid's legs are long enough to kick the seat of the person in front of them, they're old enough to be told not to kick the seat.

All new houses should be built wth doors and passageways wide enough for wheelchairs. Anyone can end up needing one, whether temporarily or permanently.

I'm half-British and half-Thai. A random right-winger verbally racially abused me in the street for no reason at all. That same man was in my A&E ward a couple of days later due to a cardiac arrest. I was the doctor who saved him. There's a moral in that story somewhere.

Mortuary technician here. Often take a nap at work by lying on a gurney and covering myself with a sheet. Haven't been accidentally autopsied yet, but have scared the newbie half to death when I started snoring

Anyone saying people fake disability to rake in benefits instead of working hasn't filled in the Universal Credit Work Capability form. Not a single question about work, but 2 pages detailing how often you shit yourself. Purposefully dehumanising for an extra 217 quid a month

There's a special form of frustration when you pick up a phone, unlock it and you forget why you've unlocked it. It's not as though you've entered a PIN, password or pattern - it's a fingerprint. How buggered is a brain when that's enough to distract you?

A cross-party committee of MPs has warned the government against using the Timms Review to cut disabled people’s access to personal independence payment, which it said would only increase pressure on other services. #PIP #DWP #TimmsReview www.disabilitynewsservice.com/cutting-pip-...

Working our way through #Ghosts again. It's one of our top favourites. If you've not already seen it, it's definitely worth watching. After watching Ghosts, Ghosts US and Ghosts Australia I can confirm their ranking as 1. Ghosts 2. Ghosts Australia 3. Ghosts US www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

I've been a wheelchair user for twenty-three years next month. My son jumped off the couch when he was six and landed on my back severing my L2 vertebrae. I've never told anyone he did it and said I fell so he wouldn't have the guilt. I he's forgotten or blocked it out.

You have to question the actions of any ice-cream van that plays its jingle around a residential area at 05.45!

Who did this? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Disabled campaigners say the government’s decision to lease 29 battery-electric trains that will allow level boarding for disabled passengers at stations across the north of England is a “massive victory” for their campaign. #LevelBoarding www.disabilitynewsservice.com/decision-to-...

Disabled activists have spoken of their relief after MPs voted to reject a bill that would have legalised assisted suicide in England + Wales but they say the focus must now shift to improving social and palliative care. #AssistedDying #AssistedSuicide www.disabilitynewsservice.com/relief-and-t...

New government research has exposed misleading calls by leading Conservative and Reform UK figures who have repeatedly claimed that assessments carried out remotely are more likely to lead to a successful claim for disability benefits. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/government-r...
