The London Landmarks half marathon took place on Sunday 6th April. I covered this for @Mencap and their participating runners. A beautiful day in London, cool but very sunny

? Most grassroots civic organisations I know have a mix of political viewpoints…any group where people are focussed on doing practical stuff tends to be that…eg local #Mencap support groups who do real stuff, not propagandise, altho they do campaign politely! Or is that not what you meant..

Mencap’s response to the Spring Statement's PIP changes are alarming for those with learning disabilities.

Stripping this lifeline will worsen poverty and health inequalities.

Govt must listen and act with compassion for a more inclusive society. #Mencap #PIP #DisabilityRights

When will politicians finally realise that mental health illness is as valid as physical conditions?

The #Traitors finalist Alexander Dragonetti 'More than I'd ever have won' - Traitors finalist on #Mencap donations - #Disability #Autism

Hearing Alexander from #TheTraitors on #BBCRadio4 The World Tonight saying over £60k has now been donated to #Mencap is quite wonderful

The Traitors star Alexander Dragonetti inspires thousands of donations to Mencap charity The former British diplomat told fellow contestants he would donate some of his prize money to Mencap if he won the show, in tribute to his late brother.

Despite my earlier criticism of this year’s programme, the final was excellent!✨ He made the final four but though he didn’t win, Alexander in many ways was a winner!
What a lovely outcome!👏👏

I keep a modest savings pot for charity donations. A donation here was more than worth it in exchange for Alexander brightening up a gloomy January by jumping into a bush and running like a pony #TheTraitorsUK #TheTraitors #mencap

Royal Mencap Society v Tomlinson-Blake [2021] UKSC 8 holds that care organisations don't have to pay sleep-shift workers minimum wage. https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2018-0160.html #Mencap #Tomlinson

Finally, it spotlights the relationship between charities and the state. Most funding comes from cash-strapped local authorities who are incentivised to drive down working conditions. #mencap #sleepshifts
