Please bear with me as I ask for support with Thunderclap for the second time. Unbelievably, my first effort at a Thunderclap failed, despite attracting 216 supporters with a total social media over 400,000.

On June 5th, I am going down to Cardiff with 2 of my comrades to try to find out what on earth is going on with the Welsh Independent Living Grant. We have a number of meetings lined up with Petitions Committee, Huw Irranca-Davies, Mark Drakeford and Julie Morgan. It will be a punishing day
