New figures from Nationwide show that prices increased by 0.5 per cent in May when compared to April. Prices in that month had fallen 0.6 per cent compared to March.

I agree with @RosemaryFrazer. Disabled people always at the back of the bus. The equality debate passes us by. Institutions that piously talk about inclusion, diversity ignore us, sometimes actively discriminate. It’s happened to me with hospitals. And Labour doesn’t care

Forgive me if I sound pompous, but with the proposed PIP cuts and today the announcement on social care workers, I feel an existential crisis looming for disabled people. A corner has been turned, and I'm not sure this government considers disability equality of any importance.

If the UK is to grow, Labour must look towards the real trade prize Me for @IndyVoices https://t.co/0pcqBYP07r

Infuriating thing about type 1 diabetes is its refusal to be logical. Can have same carb meal on 2 different days but need completely different insulin doses. Happened to me this week coz the malevolent pixie is pushing sugars up and down like yo yo for no gd reason. Grrr #GBDoc
