Which is worse, dodging a £2 odd fare or intervening in a planning process to help a Tory mate save £45 million?

Sadiq Khan is driving a proud city into the ground.

Lawbreaking is out of control.

He's not acting. So, I did.👇

Anyone know how much stair lifts and private ambulances cost?

[davejoyner @davejoyner]

Elton John’s Rocket Man has had over 1.3 billion listens on Spotify.

The money he’ll make from that is just about enough to buy a bunch of ‘flowers’.

[Dignity in Dying @dignityindying]

It's that simple.

Change the law.

Yo @SkySports my Dad wanted to watch the arrows on the app tonight but it appears to be showing Super League or whatever you call Northen egg chasing these days. Ta.

Things I didn’t expect to happen in my life:

Getting cancer at 41
Retiring at 49 (medical)
Being prescribed ketamine

Get on and do stuff kids. Don’t regret what you haven’t done.

@TWoffinden Wow. That’s Evel Knievel levels of injury! Glad you became stable and out of the coma. I remember vividly being brought out and breathing tube removed. Odd for weeks after. And I was only under for 2 days.

Sounds like a tough journey. Stay strong Tai. Best wishes to your family

Catford people! Did @LDNairamb land in Forster Park just now?

Amazing service. Give them what you can.

Who is designing this slightly on trend clothing for the Autograph and Ian Wright collections at Marks and Spencer?

Crewe are very lucky to have Mickey Demetriou.

One of the greatest @NewportCounty players of both eras.

Consistent in defence, great leadership and had a great rapport with the fans and community.

[Mickey Demetriou @Mickeyd_09]

18 months have flown & i’ve loved it! Creating so many memories on & off the pitch I’m buzzing that we have the chance to create even more! Really looking forward to the next 12 months & beyond! But first these important 8 games & we’re ready to give everything we’ve got!

Shoestring Fries are not named after their size and shape, but because Trevor Eve perfected the recipe in his trailer during downtime filming his late 70s/early 80s detective show.

£500M quid for holes in roads?

Never any new money to sort out crappy pavements though is there? https://t.co/GpFfFg7xtd

It is most often society that disables people rather than a condition/illness itself.

Society could make adjustments to attitude, practices and infrastructure to make it easier for people to live.

That would require a shift from ableist attitudes and financial investment.

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

How does a society survive if a quarter of its people are ‘disabled’?

[davejoyner @davejoyner]

@TintyBucketHats Daft prices and you can drink in your seat at the rugby. Means you get people moving back and forth all the time rather than stand there for the full half.

[davejoyner @davejoyner]

I do wonder if some want to see people with disabilities treated as in bygone times, out of sight and out of mind, rather than having a full life.

I also wonder how they would react if an illness or accident suddenly left them in a position where they were disabled by society.

[davejoyner @davejoyner]

As a fairly recent wheelchair user, I’d like to know what all the GBNews/Reform types who are ranting about the notability scheme expect disabled people to use to get about to go to work, shopping and so on?

Public transport doesn’t exist in large parts of the country. 1/

[davejoyner @davejoyner]

If you think the state of the roads is bad, try using a wheelchair on a pavement. Raised flag stones, patches of tarmac and variable kerbs make it a bone jarring experience.

Often bus wheelchair spaces are taken up by children’s buggies and drivers do not help enforce the law 3/

[davejoyner @davejoyner]

Even in the parts public transport does exist, a lot of it is not compliant with the access requirements of the Equality Act. My local train station has a massive flight of steps to the platform and no lift, so I can’t use it. 2/
