★★ If the title had been changed and more disabled voices were heard, this programme would have been much more powerful 🖋️ RachelCDailey

The abuse that has become routine for disabled people may be shocking to a lot of viewers. But as someone who has been the target of similar attacks, the death and rape threats aimed at Jones are all too recognisable. When she reports a tweet calling her the R-word, she receives a response informing her that it’s not in violation of the rules within 10 minutes. So much ableist abuse is missed by Twitter’s algorithms.

To get Twitter’s attention, Jones goes to the London HQ wearing a T-shirt and brandishing a cookie decorated with the show’s title. I’m perplexed about her intentions, but she does find out later that the abusive account has been locked. “Does it take a f**king biscuit for people to stop calling us [R-word]?” she rages.
