    By Frances Ryan

    Last week’s Timms report shows how disability is still vilified. But some pragmatic fixes would help both claimants and the economy

    CW: UKpol: Frances Ryan on Starmer's planned cuts to disability benefits

    "This is Labour's poll tax. Its tuition fees. Its Partygate. Just as the Iraq war was for Tony Blair, disability cuts is the moral stain that will mark Starmer's government and the Labour party for years to come."

    The excellent Frances Ryan on the planned cuts in disability benefits. She is, as always, right.

    Every word in her piece is right. Shame on Starmer. Shame on every MP who votes for this bill.

    "Years on from that night, I’m still sick. I’m still disabled. But I’m proud of my body, achieving, and laughing. Also occasionally, weeping. This is not the narrative society is used to."

    Frances Ryan is one of the three or four Guardian writers that really matter. Her writings on the experience of disability, and on society's failure to deal with disability, are precise, nuanced, outspoken, challenging. Never miss a piece by Frances Ryan.

    She has written a book, and the Guardian today publishes an extract. Highly recommended.

    They'll lose the next election.
    People will be turned off from voting because "they're all the same"
    Fascism will win over Centrism, just like it did in the US.
    They know this in Labour, but they don't care, they're in it for themselves, not the Nation.
    Those Whatsapps conversations told us all we need to know about these Politicians

    CW: UKpol: cuts in disabilty benefits

    Keir Starmer cutting key benefits to the disabled is shameful, as is most of what he does.

    Frances Ryan in the Guardian as ever spot on.

    "[These cuts] come with a tinge, not just of fear, but despair and betrayal. There is a feeling that, if this is life under the “good guys”, there really is no hope that anything will get better. Politicians, it turns out, really are all the same. That is the sort of loss that can’t be measured by a Treasury spreadsheet. It is also something that – once lost – is deeply hard to get back."

    CW: UK / Assisted Dying Bill

    "There are no goodies or baddies here. There are just human beings – some of them in pain, scared or angry – trying to do right by themselves, their loved ones and their community. Life is not easy. It is messy – a flawed and blind pursuit to do our best amid the darkness and the doubt."

    #FrancesRyan is a vocal defender of disability rghts. Here she calls on us to look for common ground in the difficult Assisted Dying debate.

    CW: Frances Ryan on Tory nonsense inc "unworkable" PIP changes

    "In the coming months, the dying days of this Tory government will see ministers continue to scapegoat those with the least so as to save their own skins. Watch the words of Rishi Sunak during this period, but also whether Keir Starmer challenges them."
