Hate crime is a violation of human rights and a crime against the very values of equality, dignity, and respect. It tears communities apart and leaves victims in emotional ruins. Society must come together to condemn hate, strengthen the law, and support victims. Most importantly, we must remember that diversity is our strength, and no one should be made to feel unsafe for simply being who they are.
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) has announced plans to invite members of the public to deliberate on the salaries of Members of Parliament. In an attempt to increase transparency and trust following the 2010 expenses scandal, IPSA will be sending out 10,000 letters through a lottery system in the coming weeks.
While reforming PIP to make it more compassionate and efficient is a valid goal, the current welfare vote signals a dangerous turn toward conditionality and restriction. The proposed “two-tier” approach risks further marginalising vulnerable people and failing to address the diverse spectrum of disability and illness in the UK. Without meaningful consultation, real investment, and a focus on dignity and independence, the government may not be reforming welfare, but dismantling it.

Wealth Over Health – A widening gap is emerging between those who can afford dental care and those who cannot, as increasing numbers of dental practices in Wales turn their backs on NHS contracts. The British Dental Association (BDA) Cymru recently published a damning open letter accusing the Welsh government of “peddling half-truths” about the state of NHS dentistry.

Trussell Trust has issued a grave warning to the UK Government: if planned welfare reforms and budget cuts continue, an additional 340,000 people in households with a disabled member will be forced into hunger and hardship by 2030. For many of these families, it isn’t just a question of putting food on the table — it’s a question of survival.
Disability and poverty are deeply intertwined, and when they co-exist, the barriers multiply. Families with disabled children are more likely to experience financial hardship, social exclusion, and mental health challenges, yet they often receive the least support. According to recent research, including findings from The Childhood Trust, the cost of living crisis has placed even more strain on already stretched services, making it harder for social workers to meet the needs of families with disabled children.
To truly support vulnerable families, we must see poverty for what it is—a pervasive risk factor that influences every other domain of a child’s life. More than just economic deprivation, poverty reduces access to opportunity, stability, and wellbeing. Investing in early intervention, social work training, disability inclusion, and long-term support for care leavers and young carers is essential.
