The government promised £1200 to “the most vulnerable”. But some are falling through the cracks.
💡 We want a social energy tariff that doesn’t exclude people like Karis - people struggling with high energy bills while ineligible for the existing support.

As a result, it can impact whether they decide to disclose their condition or impairment🧵

Hi ,
Why are you so against disabled children being able to see themselves reflected in their toys? Don't they deserve the right to play?
Weaponising disabled representation like this is hugely damaging.
Please change this headline.

It’s obscene that energy companies continue to make massive profits as disabled people face devastating situations because they can’t afford enough energy.
