A social media post pulls together a number of false claims on HIV/AIDS and vaccines.

The smallpox and Covid vaccines don’t cause HIV–and Dr Anthony Fauci wasn’t “the man who gave us AIDS”.

@davehendon Hi David - watching in Twickenham with my Mum Jean. She’s been a fan of Jimmy since he started. Has a photo of Jimmy in her lounge

It’s not just about tickets.

Staff at ticket offices are the first point of contact for disabled people arriving at stations who require assistance.

They provide information, unlock station facilities, and have a profound impact on safety and security. #NotJustTheTicket

Great to see this in #RailtonRoad #Brixton today, @NubianJak & #BlackPlaqueProject plaque for Winifred Atwell, in 1954, the first black artist to have a UK No1, she sold over 20million records & had a special connection with cycle speedway club here in #GarrattLane #Wandsworth

[Natasha Devan @natashadevan]

Tonight on @itvlondon we'll be talking to the masterminds behind the Black Plaque Project. The first plaque being put up in the capital will recognise Winifred Atwell - the pianist and first black woman to have a no.1 single back in 1954. Would love your thoughts @eltonofficial!

“A must-read. Clifford thoroughly documents the government’s ideological policy of welfare reforms to rip away the welfare-state safety net, and put conscious cruelty at the heart of the austerity agenda.”

These are unprecedented times that have changed the nature and landscape of transport and travel for disabled and older people.

Here is our statement on how COVID-19 is affecting our community, what must be done to protect rights, and what we are working towards.

Such an odd time to be chronically ill: you’re more restricted than ever but also life has never been more accessible. Remote working is the norm. Friends groupchat. Musicians stream concerts. Media give tips on isolation. Suddenly everyone‘s housebound and the world has adapted.
