@garrettpoulin2 @EdKrassen what a remarkable leap of logic! How do you suggest the USA subsidises grocery costs in England?

[Martin Austin MBE @TheRealMyth]

@PeterGilbertUK @CentralSheff @sheffcitycentre @DouglasJSheff @MartinPhipps13 Congratulations nonetheless!

[Access Card @AccessCard]

Our latest Ambassador, Emma, talks about her love of the Theatre and her Access Card with @DMTWestEnd

The role of an Access Card ambassador is, in part, to show other disabled people that there's a whole range of opportunities and adventures to be had

Re the shady @PassAssistance PR strategy & what @EHRC had to say about it (should anyone want to report breaches of this to the @ASA_UK AND @EHRC for regulatory investigation)
🧵👇🏻
No @passassist app could ever be a substitute for a robust staffing model ensuring disabled

@Blabbermam @flowerpetal2811 @AccessCard Local odeon managers have zero idea. Tweet @ODEONCinemas direct and read the FAQ on the access card website

[Martin Austin MBE @TheRealMyth]

@MsJayTeeR @RANGERS_SL_1 If only there was a way to communicate actual access requirements without this level of intrusion.

PRESS STATEMENT

Harpreet Kaur, The Apprentice winner 2022, has bought back Lord Sugar's shares in her desserts business, Oh So Yum! This move marks a significant achievement in the journey of the Yorkshire based entrepreneur, who won Season 16 of the show and secured a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar.

With the purchase of Lord Sugar's shares, Harpreet and her sister, Gurvinder Kaur, are now in in full control of the business and its future direction. The separation has been amicable and Lord Sugar and Harpreet Kaur mutually agreed it was the best decision for the business moving forward.

Lord Sugar said: “ Harpreet is an exceptionally bright and driven business woman. I’ve enjoyed our time working together, and whilst the time is right for us to now go our separate ways, I have no doubts she will continue to flourish. I look forward to seeing the Oh So Yum! brand go from strength to strength.”

Harpreet Kaur said: “ I am extremely grateful for the knowledge and support that Lord Sugar and his team of advisors have given me.  It has been invaluable in getting Oh So Yum! to the place where it is today, and I’m excited for the journey ahead.  I could never have imagined what we would have achieved in such a short space of time, but this is just the beginning.  Watch this space!”

@DerbyUni @DerbyGrad @nimbusdis @TheRealMyth @DerbyOT @dots @AccesCard @DerbyUniAlumni Huge Congratulations To Martin on you Honorary Masters Degree in recognition of all your great work in increasing accessibility to leisure, tourism and sport such a pleasure to nominate you

[Martin Austin MBE @TheRealMyth]

@tandemkate @flowergirl_lon @DerbyUni @nimbusdis @AccessCard @DerbyUniAlumni This is an argument for the DWP. My background was being a tribunal rep challenging these decisions and if a wheelchair user were refused pip then that would be actionable with them. I'd suggest appealing that decision

[Martin Austin MBE @TheRealMyth]

I want to thank @DerbyUni and all staff and Graduates for their warmth and welcome last week and for the honorary Master's degree for my contribution to @nimbusdis and our excellent @AccessCard scheme.

@tandemkate @flowergirl_lon @DerbyUni @nimbusdis @AccessCard @DerbyUniAlumni I can't comment on the specifics of your situation I'm afraid as I don't know the background or the detail.

[Martin Austin MBE @TheRealMyth]

@tandemkate @flowergirl_lon @DerbyUni @nimbusdis @AccessCard @DerbyUniAlumni We don't decide if an applicant is or is not disabled. We work out what specific access requirements they might have
