Imagine watching England win the World Cup in 1966. Sixty years later you’re in hospital, unable to afford the privately run bedside TV service. No tablet. Just four walls

@SparkMediaUK, could you make tonight’s semi-final free for NHS patients? @ITVFootball @FIFAWorldCup

A wheelchair using friend had a bus access refusal & was left behind in scorching 26 degree heat with no shade 🥵 Bus was empty apart from woman with child in pushchair in the wheelchair space whom driver did not ask to move. I’m coming for you again First Bus.

This is why red cords in public toilets matter for us #disabled folks.

Yesterday I slipped out of my #wheelchair trying to transfer back in.m from the loo. I tried pulling the emergency cord...but it didn't work. I had to crawl across the toilet floor, shove the door open and lie halfway on the pavement praying someone would pass by and help.

Because the toilet was in a more out of the place, I lay there calling out for more than 30 minutes, before someone fortuitously walked past. A working red cord would've tripped the emergency alarm immediately.

People, councils, & maintenance companies, please, please make sure the cord is hanging fully down - and actually working.

This Sunday a film about the Disabled Punk Movement is having its premiere. I'm obviously in it but I can't go because the @BFI don't have enough wheelchair spaces in the cinema. That's a perfect line for a new disability version of Ironic.
What a mirror on society eh?

Dirty. Unfair. Not really how you would expect the game to be played. Borderline against the rules.

So what’s everyone’s Wordle score today?

[Tides of History @labour_history]

July 1966 and the country watches on as the Charlton brothers take England into the World Cup final…

But their dad - Bob- misses it all because he’s working a coal shift two miles underground

The Coal Board and the BBC put on a special showing once back at the surface… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Seeing a lot of people from other countries wanting us to beat Argentina (bar the bitter Celtic nations, obviously) #FIFAWorldCup26 #England #Argentina

I love this Japanese TV News report about Count Binface taking on Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election: 😂

Farage has managed to make himself look bad globally. 👍

I started a new job today delivering fish. I'm really cold now.

I've been stood in the river all morning shouting, "Push! Push!"
