Real talk: I had both my legs amputated. You all know this. I've also dealt (best I can) with manic depression since I was in my teens, with substance abuse, self-harming and a suicide attempt. I would say that of the two, the depression has been far more disabling.

How the hell is "depression and anxiety" a valid reason for disability benefits? It's now the number one cause of disability payments. People always had "mental health" issues but got on with it and never would have been allowed to claim disability.

@belovedbless Does written #DisabledSnark count? Because I sent a form the @DWP sent to me about changes in my "condition" not filed in bu with a post-it note on top on which I had written "As I'm not a salamander my legs haven't grown back yet."

@toadmeister No, it puts it back in favour of Parliament rather than solely in the hands of the Executive. An Executive fully willing and able to lie to the monarch. But I thought this was what you wanted, buddy? British courts ruling on British laws? Taking back control? Sovereignty?

@JuliaHB1 @JMPSimor Ah, our daily reminder that @JuliaHB1 is not only too afraid to stand for anything herself but is more than willing to have a sly dig at those that are. I had both my legs amputated in 1979 and I stand for more than JHB does.

I get this *a lot* Complete stranger: Have you always been like this? Me: Devastatingly handsome? Why, yes, thank you for noticing. CS: I mean, were you born like that? Me: In a wheelchair? Yes, and my mother's poor foo-foo was never the same. #DisabledSnark #AbledsAreWeird

Merrily wheeling along in Lottie when a man flags me down in the street. I stop. Man: Can I ask why you are cr*ppled? Me, looking down at my lap and wheelchair in astonishment: Oh my GOD, when did THIS happen?! Then I flipped him the bird and sped off πŸ˜‡

@PressSec @CNN @POTUS You realise there's video out there, yes? And that @realDonaldTrump tried to claim that one of the newspapers over here made up quotes so they released the audio to prove they had not? Oh dear ... it's not great is it?

@DeborahMeaden You can't blame Kathy, though. In this world of influencers and YouTube stars all a 15 year old kid cares about is what's trending... Oh, she's a grown woman. Nevermind, then.

@NickFletcherMP Mate, you must be gutted that you forgot to add the Queen to your list. I mean, she's been the monarch since 1952 and just look how much cyber crime has risen since then. We certainly do live in interesting times.

@SpillerOfTea I got hit by a van when I was in my wheelchair. Thing is the van hit me so hard my artificial legs flew off and went about 20 yards down the road. The driver shit a brick and drive off. There's someone still out there believing he cut a person in half. Pic of chair afterwards.

Disabled Twitter... what's your thoughts on Evac chairs? My opinion - genuinely - is that I will throw myself down a flight of stairs before I let a couple of one-hour-trained four-limbed ableds tip me forwards in that death trap. Respectfully.

I dunno if you heard but... I'm pushing my wheelchair 30 marathons in 30 days. Yeah it's a bit bonkers but I need your support. Donate if you can, but if you can't a retweet and a like really does help. Thank you. #30in30 #SeeTheAbility #NotTheDis

@Welshdellb0y @Shambles151 And yet the government have successfully brain-washed you into thinking one set of people are more worthy than another set of people. There's enough money to help everyone. Clearly not enough empathy though.

Just got on thectrain, loads of blokes stood round the wheelchair spot on the beers already. They were top notch and moved to give me space. Turns out they're on a stag do and I've just been adopted as an honory member till they get to Reading! Make friends everywhere, me 😁😎
