Wow. This made me cry!

During his visit at the National Cathedral, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde went off script and pleaded with Trump to “have mercy” on LGBTQ people in the country who are scared.

This is what courage looks like.

“Some of our platforms are death traps. The gap between the walkway and train is huge and they are unsafe for everyone, but particularly for blind people.”

Today’s reason for being late to my lecture: I can’t cross the road opposite uni because there are about two dozen dockless bikes obstructing the dropped kerb.

@CamdenCouncil what is your process for keeping pavements clear of bikes? And would you agree it isn’t working?

Thank you @TheOxfordMail for covering OxPlay's campaign for a city centre playground. We hope it will be good for families, and good for city centre businesses. Next stop, @OxfordCity . Thanks to everyone who's signed the petition!

Day 72 of asking.

[Children Heard and Seen @ChildrenHandS]

Another 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 of children being left completely alone, without an adult in the house, after their parent was sent to prison.

A national, statutory mechanism of identification and support for children with a parent in prison would immediately prevent these shocking cases of children left living all alone.

Cutting the £2 bus fare cap is most unpopular with key segments of Labour’s base who are being tempted elsewhere - progressives to greens, but also our disengaged battler segment; the most economically insecure group, where we’ve seen more evidence of them flirting with Reform.

[National Deaf Children's Society @NDCS_UK]

Parents impacted by Hamilton Lodge's closure, a deaf school in Brighton, are urging the Government to review the availability of specialist provision for teaching deaf children.

Every deaf child deserves the right support to thrive.

[National Deaf Children's Society @NDCS_UK]

This powerful clip from @WaterlooRoad shows what can happen when a deaf pupil starts school without appropriate support in place.

Every deaf child should have access to the support they need to thrive – no matter their type or level of deafness, or how they communicate.

UPDATE: WE DID IT!!!
I'm delighted to say that last night I got a message from the Debt Recovery unit at @northernassist confirming that they will "be taking no further steps against [me]".
That said, the problems at the heart of my case are FAR from solved.

Family carers deserve to be valued for all they do. That's why I've launched an independent review to find out what went wrong on Carer's Allowance & ensure it never happens again. I'm delighted former @DisRightsUK chief executive @lizsayce will lead this

Wow. It’s 2024 and I’ve just had to crawl along the floor of this LOT Polish airline to get to the toilet during a flight back from Warsaw as “we don’t have onboard wheelchairs. It’s airline policy”. If you’re disabled and you can’t walk this is just discriminatory.

[Transport for All @TransportForAll]

We all need to travel, but barriers to transport block disabled people from everyday trips. It's easy to improve this - things like staff at stations can help us all move around freely. Find out what needs to change in our manifesto for new MPs:

Thank you to @1927productions
and @OxfordPlayhouse for an incredible day of animation for children and families impacted by parental imprisonment. We had a fantastic time exploring creativity while making some wonderful stops motion animation. We used the theme of Children Heard and Seen 10th birthday, and will later share the finished animation piece
