Crying with joy at today’s news. For all those with a LD who’ve lost their lives & for those who thought they’d been forgotten. We DO care and we WILL protect you 💜 Well Done & thank you to @mencap_charity 💪😊❤️
‘This is a great day’ - ⁦@jowhiley⁩ reacts to news that ALL those with a learning disability who are on the GP Learning Disability Register will get the covid jab as a priority (until now it was only those with severe learning disabilities). Jo’s sister will now get her jab

Not every learning disabled adult has Down’s syndrome not every learning disabled person lives in a care home. In order to stop the vaccine postcode lottery @MattHancock must include ALL learning disabled people in top tiers today #Marr

How true is this for many who have been through a significant bereavement? We certainly know many who don’t have the patience for petty nonsense any more. Be kind, be thoughtful, just be a nice human being..... please 🧡

So go to work, but don't go near people, but exercise infinitely in parks, but it's dangerous to take a bus, but go to work, but we won't test you, but we need to get PPE, but be alert, be on edge, be full of confidence that we have no idea, but we are climbing down a mountain.

Whatever happens during this pandemic, we will be there for people with a #LearningDisability and their families and carers - all 1.5 million of them. Please help us to keep providing vital front line support during this challenging time: bit.ly/2WPBSFd #MencapFamily
my favourite consequence of the covid-19 societal lockdown is aquarium penguins roaming around freely and when this is all over I for one welcome them as our new overlords

Hi Aaron! 👋 Sorry we kept you waiting, but we had a certain someone who wanted to send a special message to you... Take it away, @DavidLuiz_4 😊
Hey @Arsenal. 👋 Have you seen this? Aaron is such a huge fan of yours. He is 19, he has a #LearningDisability and wants to prove people wrong by running the @VirginMoney @LondonMarathon this year. Fancy inviting Aaron to a training session to help him on his marathon journey?

I always like reminding myself that no matter who the government is, progressive or regressive, on it or a total shower, charities will keep on doing good. Feeding people, supporting them, changing lives and campaigning for a better world. No. Matter. What.
