"Labour’s collective belief in the dignity of labour regularly curdles into two toxic ways of thinking. One is a belief that paid employment is the only reliable gauge of people’s esteem; the other is a queasiness about disability that sometimes lurks just below the surface. There is also an apparently desperate need to counter any suggestion that Labour ministers are liberal fainthearts. In March, the justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, offered a curt explanation of why the government was set on its plan: “This is the Labour party. The clue is in the name. We believe in work”."

Didn't realise Royal Mail will collect parcels from your home and bring the label with them now.

This is so helpful for my disabled arse. I don't need to go to the post office after all!

Tagging to let others know. #disability #mail #RoyalMail #ChronicIllness #UKdisability

Why have I only just found out that if you use mobility aids, a mobility scooter or wheelchair, that you don’t have to wait in the queue at Primark. You just go to the end till (nearest shop floor.) and someone will see to you.

I mean, I don’t go out shopping very often, so that’s probably why 😂
