“There is this terrible misconception that disabled people just take, but actually by taking from us, you prevent us from being able to give – we want to be able to participate in life equally the same as anyone else, and that includes going to work.” Disability campaigner Tanni Gray-Thompson

Politics is ultimately about choices: how you raise cash and where you spend it. Labour acts as if they are forced to cut disability benefits but leading economists say they can avoid it by taxing the super rich. Spending cuts are a political choice. Don’t let them pretend otherwise.

TUC's General Secretary Paul Nowak on planned disability benefit cuts: “A major lesson from the Tory years is that austerity damaged the nation’s health. We must not make the same mistake again."

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

We hope you all enjoyed the launch of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week' last night. That last minute break in the cloud provided a bit of a plot twist and made it lighter than it might have been. Who knows what'll happen next week. Lighter again? Darker? Stay tuned.
