Creating this kind of division helps no one. But it does hurt disabled people. This narrative is impacting real people. This cannot be forgotten. And it must be changed.

We know that disabled households would need an additional £1,010 each month to have the same standard of living as non-disabled ones. And that is after benefits like PIP are taken into account. That's a fact. It's reality.

"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.

Oh right this is a full scale assault from the PM on disabled people. It's somehow all our fault. That we're not trying hard enough. That employers are all amazing. And that PIP is too generous?!

We’re pleased to see that the government has finally put things right and made the Minister for Disabled People a full Minister of State. This is an important win for everyone that called for the reinstatement of this position 👏

Positive disability representation in kid's books help improve attitudes and inclusion. So what can we expect of negative representation like this? @gregjames, Chris Smith and @PuffinBooks - consider the role you play in improving attitudes, especially towards disabled kids.

Michael is one of the brilliant disabled apprentices that have found work through our retail apprenticeships. He was such a valuable part of the team at our Hackney shop, that he’s now secured a post as assistant shop manager. 🔗thesun.co.uk/money/25668022…

🔌 When your life depends on electric equipment, there’s no easy way to reduce your energy bills. Today, we're launching a new advert with the support of @ITV and @ClearChannelUK, showing how rising energy costs are disproportionately affecting disabled people.
