The Lettuce instead of Liz Truss at 1:46 had me in stitches!!!

I was diagnosed with aspergers at 18 and I've never had any help despite fully knowing I needed it. It just has never been available to me. I'm now 30, trying to find a job despite everything, never had one before, and been applying for 2 years without a single interview. I have really lost hope and they really have to do something to improve the situation

[RPKGameVids]

One very worrying thing though is that the DWP minister is Liz Kendall, and the fact that Keir hasn't done anything about her. 😢

[DivergentMoon]

Wow! My heart goes out to you and to Great Britain. I'm happy about the election results. But now soberly hopeful. Wishing the best for you and your wife.

Totally agree, as a retired nurse I’m now in that space where I have conditions, ARFID no treatment in my area, CRPS right arm and hand, left with no support, Bile Acid Malabsorption and now suffering deficiently and anaemic, depressed and autism…diagnosed at 63, I’m now 65 and scared to death that one day I will collapse as mental health day I’m too complex to be offered help. I was proud of my nursing, it ran well and people got treatment by professionals not pretend DR’s filling the gaps with the knowledge of medicine on par with a GCSE. I had to explain my conditions so many times to people who should update knowledge as much as I do research on myself to self advocate for correct treatments.

I have a case of autism, i struggle in social situations to the point that in work I often am forced into resigning or being dismissed, even in unpaid volunteer positions, yet I see politicians demonising autism as a workshy excuse, no, autistic people are not workshy, we just don't do well in groups.

even now, i'm applying for a course at the open university in the hopes that I can get a useful qualification from home, that I may find a high paying job without much social contact

Well said Quinn!

Best to you and Mrs A 💜

I just want Labour to fix the economy, the NHS and improve the rights of those use who like me are transgender

[MagusNecronomica]

What a brilliant video. Your channel just popped up to me, and this is the first I've seen, but you've got a new subscriber. I entirely agree with all that you said. I voted tactically to protect my rights, but I I feel tired of this. I want us to actually progress as a society, not one step forward and two steps back.

[stephaniealexandra]

So eloquently put, I couldn't agree more

[kyleethekelt]

Bravo. 👏👏 The entire western world seems to have caught an obsession with numbers and the expense of people. The proverbial canary in the mine was the great NHS, whose current condition is reflected in many parts of the world. However, chanells like yours keep giving us hope.

I got diagnosed with autism when I was 7 and have hereditary mental illness this was a pleasant surprise, thank you for standing up for me and people I care about in my life

[Thefan]

Very well said! I wish that I could express myself like you can.

[abigailmcewan]

Superb video Quinn.
You need to be on parliament.
Thank you for you clear message.

[JackDD]

I was up until 5:30 on election night, just because I wanted to make sure the Tories didn't win. The feeling of relief I felt was immense.

Starmer is far from my first choice for the job. We didn't vote _for Starmer_; we voted _against the Tories_. He was in the right place at the right time. He got lucky.

That said, in my mind, he _is_ the bare minimum for what I would consider to be an _acceptable_ prime minister. We have a prime minister who _doesn't_ make me ashamed of the country I live in. I'm just saying, we haven't had one of those for a while.

This is so important it better go viral, maybe this will help:

100% agree! Thank you for putting this out there.

[Green_Roc]

I wanna do something useful, but as a disabled person, I'm shamed and shoo'd out of places for not behaving like a 'normal'. Argh. The support I need doesnt exist. I need an English autistic to English neurotypical translator, because I dont understand neurotypical hidden languages. I get ignored or worse, denied acess to places where I could be useful, because someone thought I could read minds of 'normals' when they wink or shrug or bat an eye in some direction. I'm autistic, I dont read minds.

I would like to not think about politics either.

[PeppermintPatties]

Every word is spot on. This is exactly my experience too. X

[KrmaRules]

Starmer doesn't care about us disabled.
