Raynaud’s disease (also known as Raynaud’s phenomenon or syndrome) is a circulatory condition that affects blood flow to certain parts of the body, usually the fingers and toes. When exposed to cold temperatures or stress, the small blood vessels in the extremities constrict excessively, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, colour changes, and functional limitations.
There has never been a more empowering time to start a business from scratch, especially if you are long-term unemployed, disabled, or seeking independence from a system that doesn’t always serve you. With government policy actively encouraging people to return to work, including those who face barriers due to disability or health, starting your own business can be a powerful, self-directed solution. You gain not only control over your income and routine but also protection from benefit sanctions, while still receiving financial support as you build your dream from the ground up.
An urgent letter from the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) to the UK government has sparked outrage and concern within the disability community. The correspondence, sent Monday evening (07/07/25), follows a coordinated campaign by disabled people’s organisations (DPOs) who presented damning evidence of how the proposed cuts to out-of-work disability benefits could worsen the lives of thousands of disabled people.
Disabled entrepreneurs often speak of empowerment, community, and visibility. Many position themselves as champions for inclusion and mental health awareness. But what happens when these very individuals, your LinkedIn connections, your supposed allies, ignore your messages, dismiss your contributions, and ghost your professional outreach without so much as an acknowledgment?
Sustainability cannot be one-size-fits-all. While recycling and reducing food waste are essential steps to save the planet, policies must be adapted to ensure that people with disabilities are not unfairly burdened. From stronger food waste bags and home collection support, to clearer guidance and digital innovation, inclusive practices are essential. Everyone deserves the chance to participate in protecting the environment—without risking their health or dignity.
Are you a disabled entrepreneur navigating today’s digital playing field with the help of AI tools like ChatGPT? If so, your experience matters, and now, two leading UK universities want to hear from you. In a groundbreaking research initiative led by the University of Manchester and the University of Exeter, researchers are exploring how disabled business owners are using artificial intelligence in both personal and professional contexts. This is your chance to contribute to vital academic work that could help shape a more inclusive future for business, technology, and disabled entrepreneurship.
If governments are drowning in debt and slashing public services, why not just “press reset” and start again? When budget cuts and tax hikes hit the most vulnerable, many wonder why central banks can’t simply wipe the slate clean. Here’s why the real issue isn’t ability, it’s political will.
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.
A groundbreaking and highly controversial scientific initiative is now underway in the UK, as leading British researchers aim to synthesize the first human genome entirely from scratch, not by altering existing DNA, but by building it letter by letter in the lab. Spearheaded by scientists from the University of Oxford, Cambridge, Kent, Manchester, and Imperial College London, this ambitious project is known as the Synthetic Human Genome (SynHG) project and is being funded by the Wellcome Trust, the world’s largest medical research charity.
“Vouchers Are Not A Lifeline, They Are A Limitation. This move is discriminatory, removes choice, and reinforces stigma”.
Furthermore, vouchers could severely isolate individuals with non-visible or fluctuating disabilities who may already struggle to go outside, use public transport, or interact with others due to pain, fatigue, or anxiety. For example, someone with severe OCD, PTSD, or Crohn’s disease may rely on online retailers or niche services for survival, many of which may not accept government-issued vouchers.
