This morning I was International UK Brave Award Winner on World Justice Day. It is a huge honour to have won. My goal is to improve the lives and fight for a more equal society for disabled people. For more information: amnesty.org.uk/braveawards #disabled #omagh #worldjusticeday

Stop the proposed changes to the Motability Scheme: cutt.ly/Tt12R5Nt Taxing advance payments and reducing mileage allowances could hit disabled people hardest. For many, a car isn't a luxury, it's independence. Rural communities would be especially affected.

The Moygashel debate made me reflect on working with diverse communities through CRAIC NI and disability activism. A few thoughts on belonging, respect and shared humanity. cutt.ly/et1TGCsi

It is exhausting watching small disability groups, hospice voices and grassroots campaigners be drowned out by slick, celebrity-backed lobbying for this deeply flawed assisted dying Bill. Money and PR should not outweigh safeguarding.

The debate around the Sperrins is about more than planning documents and mining applications. It is about memory, history and communities who know these roads and landscapes because they lived them for generations. 🔗 cutt.ly/utNWZvK6 #SaveOurSperrins #DontMineUs

Happy MPS Awareness Day 💜 This is me during my weekly Vimizim treatment for Morquio syndrome (MPS IV). Living with a rare condition brings challenges people never see, but awareness, research and support matter. 🔗 cutt.ly/StVSIey9 #MPSAwarenessDay

I support Kayla Henry’s call for Changing Places toilets in every NI hospital. Disabled people should not face barriers, indignity or missed appointments because basic facilities don’t exist. Share: cutt.ly/rtVh9cKd Petition: cutt.ly/ftVh9JaQ #Disabled

This morning I spoke at the public inquiry into the proposed Dalradian goldmine. I already live with respiratory illness. Dust, pollution and contamination risks could seriously affect my health and others. Public health must come first. #SaveOurSperrins #ProtectOurLand

Why put Britannia in a wheelchair? Why must people use disabled people as a scoring point to signify weakness? Whatever your political beliefs or points of view in life, do not appropriate my life. Ableism is cruel and hurtful. #Disabled #DisabledLife #Ableist

Disabled people in NI are still paying to travel. Half fare isn’t equality. With ActNowNI, we’re calling on the Department for Infrastructure and Liz Kimmins to introduce free travel now. ✍️ cutt.ly/atLXN1uO #FreeTravel

Kit Malthouse is talking nonsense. The House of Lords has done its job, blocking a damaging Bill. That’s not disgraceful, it’s why it exists. We’re not “X trolls”. @DPACNIreland, @Dis_PPL_Protest, @InclusionLondon and others are protecting our futures.

The House of Lords has disgraced parliament. Their existence is based on trust, now roundly abused by a small group of unelected zealots. Time for a serious look at who these people are, and how they are allowed to govern us. The X trolls will be jubilant, but we will be back.

“Just left your parcel at the door.” For me, that can mean no way in or out of my own home. Blocked access isn’t an inconvenience. It’s a barrier. Delivery companies need to do better. #Accessibility #Disability #Disabled #DisabledLife #AccessDenied

Sorcha Eastwood has been incredibly supportive for the deaf and disabled community here, over in Westminster. Being our voice against Labour's cruel Welfare Cuts and their dangerous Assisted Dying Bill. Matthew, Sorcha IS doing her job and I'm forever grateful to her for it.
