Braverman has said she will rip up the Equalities Act on Day One
“social and gender transitioning will be banned in all schools, no ifs no buts”.
#disability charity Sense said that removing the protections afforded by the Equalities Act would be a “significant step backwards” and would “increase uncertainty and risk for millions of disabled people and their families
When questioned, she was somewhat flummoxed when told the Equalities Act guaranteed Maternity Pay
But, what would she know

The next in the marginalia series, and a personal favourite. This is what you did in mediaeval times if you needed a wheelchair. (From the Luttrell Psalter.)

Just a few years ago, I escaped one of the most horrific chapter in my life.
I still don't know how I survived, and with physical and emotional reminders that have changed me forever. 🧵 1/3
$248/1360 y'all. 1/29
It costs nothing to share.

Driverless taxis?
So who is going to help disabled and frail elderly people who need luggage or mobility aids loaded? Or parents with young children and shopping?
And no, adapted taxis aren't the solution for all of us. I've tried in several areas in the UK to prebook an accessible taxi and the answer is always no. I can prebook an ordinary car but not an accessible one. No much help if I have to be at a train station or airport at a set time.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czej9n578k9o
Accessibility is at best an afterthought or, as with this, ignored.

I am SO glad so many people have told me what disabled people can and cannot do!🙌
These words have COMPLETELY changed my disability and now I'm able to do what I couldn't do my whole life!🙄
See how ridiculous that fucking sounds?!?
Kindly, fuck off!🖕

There are many blind spots (pun intended) in the study of politics, but as David Alexander (UGlasgow) points out the relative lack of understanding of the optimal dimensions of disability & how disability may shift the frame of understanding politics remains a significant absence in much political analysis....
The real world consequences are around us in the relative under-emphasis of disability in everyday politics in the UK.
