Image of a lake at Kew Gardens, there are reflections of trees that surround it. The water is still. The sky is clear and blue.
Here is a view to focus on for a while and imagine yourself there. Breathing in the fresh crisp cool air on a sunny day.
This was taken by me @kewgardens.bsky.social in January this year.
Government’s messaging on Access to Work is extraordinary! It has spent the last 8 months telling us more Disabled people should be working, now bemoaning that the scheme is being used by more Disabled people. An increase of 15,000 applicants last year. www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/how-doe...
Pass it on.

On 20th November, my letter was published in The Times newspaper, as part of The Times Letters: Pitfalls of Kim Leadbeaters Assisted Suicide Bill. You can read the letter in full below.
www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/dr-uks-...
Although there is talk of the robustness of checks and balances in the assisted dying bill to prevent Disabled people being coerced, as a leading organisation for Disabled people in Britain we know from bitter experience that words and laws do not always add up to protecting Disabled people. This was evident during the pandemic, where we were often denied life-saving care, and where 60 per cent of all deaths from Covid were those of Disabled people, who comprise 24 per cent of the population. We have huge empathy for Disabled people who live with pain and wish to make an informed choice to have control over the end of their lives. However, given the severe inequalities for Disabled people within society, especially relating to the quality of health and independent living support, we can no longer maintain a neutral stance, and believe that upholding quality of life should be the focus of the government. Giving us dignified and equitable lives should come before putting in place ways of assisting us to die. Kamran Mallick Chief Executive, Disability Rights UK
Our statement was published in @thetimes.com today in opposition to the upcoming assisted dying bill.
