To be fair, there are few things more fitting for Trump's America than watching people hurt each other for entertainment.

Really very kind of Nige to take in all of these poor ex-Conservatives chasing one more shot at political relevance... #Braverman #ReformUK

An honour to have been reappointed as one of the @MayorofLondon's Design Advocates and to continue working to make London a more inclusive and accessible place for all.

[Jules Pipe @JulesPipe]

I was delighted to welcome the new cohort of @MayorofLondon's Design Advocates at City Hall yesterday. Design Advocates are independent built environment experts appointed to support the Mayor’s vision for inclusive, sustainable, quality growth across London. #GoodGrowthByDesign

Bjork would destroy Trump

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

[James Lee @jamhanlee]

One of the greatest own goals ever scored.

Just got Reform to commit to a serious crackdown on Motability as part of their reforms to PIP.

Lee Anderson says he’d be keen to see anyone with a Motability car forced to drive a ‘blue three wheeler’

[James Lee @jamhanlee]

@FT In the context of proposed changes to benefits, it's important to say that some people cannot 'work' as we commonly understand it: we need a benefit system that provides support and dignity to everyone. Better public transport is an enabling factor, not a cure for unemployment.

[James Lee @jamhanlee]

Thank you @FT for interviewing me. If there are three things I want people to understand:
1. Involve disabled people in planning decisions!
2. Investment in access is investment for all
3. Not everyone can 'work', better public transport is not a panacea!

Keir Starmer plays: SMASH or PASS: Economy Edition 💰✂️💔 #keirstarmer

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

Keir Starmer is determined to push ahead with cutting people's disability benefits, after months of extensive government research shows its much easier to take money off them than millionaires or big business

[James Lee @jamhanlee]

@duncanshrubsole @DWPgovuk @TorstenBell @resfoundation Agree, there's a real dissonance here with the work of @resfoundation that he was such a brilliant champion for, I share your sadness.

[James Lee @jamhanlee]

Yes, public transport can often feel like Squid Game for disabled people…

[James Lee @jamhanlee]

You know that feeling when you’re meant to be interviewing candidates for a job but your train is cancelled, so you go a different way, finally get to your destination, see a ‘lift out of order’ sign and shout ‘FUCKING HELL’ very loudly because you use a wheelchair?
Yeah, that.

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

I look forward to seeing if “intense lobbying” from disabled people will stop Labour cutting benefits.

Oh America, I’m pretty sure it’s not ideal to pick one of the worst people from your country to also be the President of your country. Surely these should be different people, no?

[Zack Bornstein @ZackBornstein]

until the day I die I will never understand why he was even still allowed to run after this

[James Lee @jamhanlee]

@MusclesMartin @Argos_Online Honestly mate, wanted to cry when I realised I was missing a piece. Especially after trying to build it with a very grumpy toddler constantly trying to get involved. I need a very stiff drink now.

[James Lee @jamhanlee]

Very sad to hear about Phil Lesh passing away today. Some of it's a bit hazy, but I've got many fond memories of listening to the Grateful Dead with @Sarut0biSasuke and his dad.

[Expanding Dan: the Steely Dan newsletter @ExpandingDan]

RIP Phil Lesh, a legend for so much including his hilariously honest testimony during a Jerry Garcia estate hearing in 1996.
