Musk for Musk! Backing Trump, benefits space and transport contracts. Posting extremes on X, gets eyeballs, and undermines society and politics. His vision is off-earth habitation. He thinks Northern populations will collapse. So, what's the big agenda Wizard of Oz @elonmusk?

Thanks @BBC for prompting, got to see Northern Lights above Crowborough.

Mims please explain why in Crowborough they are letting developers rip out ancient hedgerows in the plethora of developments taking place. Not necessary for them to vandalise!

@TheMoneyProgram @BBCr4today Bereavement Support, why not raise awareness via Undertakers!

@QMUL @AlexScott Huge congrats on your Honorary Fellowship @AlexScott. Whilst you've got @QMUL's attention, please would you champion equality for all QMUL student's? Those whose graduations have been cancelled. No graduation = no jobs and no further education. They all deserve better. Thank you!

[marcus missen @MarcusJEM]

@QMUL congratulations leveraging @AlexScott graduation to raise QMUL's profile. Shame you've cancelled other students' graduations, leaving them in limbo, no graduate jobs, no further education. Professor Colin Bailey, for equality, please deliver on your duty to all students!

[marcus missen @MarcusJEM]

@QMUL @QMULAlumni @QMUL what are you doing for the students you've left in limbo, such as English graduates whose graduations have been delayed till next year? No celebrations, no chance to get graduate jobs, no chance of going onto masters. Expected more from QMUL. Disappointed!

[marcus missen @MarcusJEM]

@QMUL what are you going to do about the graduations you've put off from July 2023 till next year? Please explain!

@brightonsnapper No water in Crowborough all day. And no alternative water provided by South East Water. Appalling!

Loved hosting the Big Debate panel about Purposeful Fundraising with brilliant @ingridsrinath, @erskinerachel, @emilyabracken and Brenda. Important challenging debate - nuanced, complex, legitimacy, relevance. Need for change - we have responsibility! #ifc2022 @ResAlliance

@SECAmbulance is it usual to wait 4 hours for an ambulance? Waiting with elderly relative.

@EE When you say use standard as in uk, do you mean at the same cost? Got this text stating higher charges, after getting roam further confirmation. Confused!

[Leonard Cheshire @LeonardCheshire]

Thanks @MartinSLewis for championing the voices of disabled people facing the cost of living crisis on @GMB today.

"Please @sajidjavid, will you champion those people and ensure that we don't disable their lives with what's about to happen in April?"

Posting disgusting ableist abuse about Rosie is a #DisabilityHateCrime.

Rosie isn't surprised, as aren't most people with a disability.

It needs to be easier to report hate crime and we need to see more hate crimes prosecuted.

This is totally shocking, #hatecrimes against #disabledpeople have gone up by over 50%!

There is #noplaceforhate in today's #society. It's time something is done! Please share and spread the word - IT'S GOT TO STOP!

[Leonard Cheshire @LeonardCheshire]

Two drunk men threatened to rape Cassie and pushed her wheelchair along a street, while onlookers did not help.

Police said there wasn't a lot they could do. Would that be enough for you or your loved ones?

#DisabilityHateCrime is going unpunished.

Watching Ruth our CEO on the panel right now - British Sign Language and captions are available on this stream.

Two years today Boris promised to provide better social care.

This is personal. One in five of us will have a disability in our lifetimes.

We all deserve personalised social care that works.

Tell your MP, MSP or MS you’re done waiting 👉 https://t.co/FWcVyAy1ev

Don’t let @10DowningStreet forget who they’re failing.
