Overview of Crippled
In "Crippled," Frances Ryan exposes how UK austerity policies devastated disabled lives. Nominated for the Bread and Roses Award, this eye-opening investigation asks: How did a wealthy nation justify pushing its most vulnerable into poverty while labeling them "scroungers"? Tanni Grey-Thompson calls it "essential" reading.

When the Safety Net Becomes a Trap
What does it mean when one of the world's wealthiest nations receives a United Nations warning about "human catastrophe"? Picture Susan, a 58-year-old woman with multiple health conditions, sitting in her wheelchair surrounded by medical equipment, trying to decide whether to pay for electricity to power her breathing nebulizer or buy food. Her bowel condition requires specialized pureed meals costing 3.50 each-meals she can no longer afford. Instead, she survives on cereal, her body withering as she loses weight week by week. "I'm starving," she says, not as metaphor but as medical fact. This is Britain in the age of austerity, where four million disabled adults live below the poverty line and the promise of a social safety net has been systematically dismantled, thread by thread.
