Hi @askryanair - do you normally refer to Autistic people as having an "intellectual disability"? This is what you've written on our updated itinerary after I asked your web chat for additional support at the the airport
Remarkably, as MPs debate this bill again, ministers have failed to update the "dashboard" showing which laws - including areas like consumer and environmental protection - could automatically be axed on Dec 31. They still don't know
Every right we have - weekends, the vote - was won by disruptive protest and strikes. This govt is introducing laws that punish peaceful but disruptive protest with long jail sentences.
My thread from this morning now it is apparent that Labour is intent on attacking GPs, which is going to do nothing to solve the problems in the NHS and might well make things worse. ‘Joking’ in the first tweet should, of course, be ‘joining’.
I expect better analysis, greater responsibility and better solutions from a party waiting thirteen years to get into office than this. Most of all, I expect a government in waiting to do no harm and am troubled that right now Labour might be doing just that.
“This is the worst we’ve ever known it.” A&Es are running out of beds and oxygen as patients wait up to three days for a ward space. Thanks to @RCEMvp_Salwa for sharing her experience of the NHS crisis

One in ten parent carers of Disabled children say they’ve had to cut back on essential items for their child.
Many forego essentials such as food, heating, basic furniture like beds, flooring, washing machines and fridges, to try to make ends meet.
The Government response 👇
5yrs since Windrush Scandal so awful that Tory Home Secretary resigned & successors promised radical change & implemention of Windrush report.
Now Sunak & Braverman ripping their promises to Windrush generation up.
On 75th Windrush anniversary. Shameful

This was a good recent piece into how local people are "empowered" to block new housing developments (incl social housing!).
And there's a million examples on Twitter of people blocking local solar / wind/
I ask again - how is this progressive?

Today marks 1 whole year since Govt set up the ACRS Scheme to resettle Afghan refugees. Yet despite promising 20,000 resettlements, *not a single person* has been brought to the UK under pathway 3 this year. Govt's broken promises are costing lives - they must be held to account
I've returned to my parents' home in West Oxfordshire this Christmas to find people angry and worried about the future of the village.
Why? Because they say "Europe's biggest solar farm" is about to be built on their doorstep.

Brexit bonus! UK waterways to be filthy for three decades - wouldn’t have been allowed by EU, made poss by Brexit. In 36 years, many rivers may be beyond repair. News sneaked out just before Xmas. Great story by my colleague @sandralaville https://t.co/5HowMN8QoP
Dear @RishiSunak@SteveBarclay
Today I left at 12.00pm to go to work, as a nurse we expect to work Christmas and holidays (unlike politicians, because obviously the country only needs running during Term time….🙄) but what I object to is leaving my partner and 7 year old 🧵1/2
We are working so hard to create opportunities for education everywhere, and this angers me that girls' and women's rights to learn are being taken away in Afghanistan
