@NotThatBigIan If the sign of a great album is it going missing after a party, this one is the best. I had three taken in my time.

@nqatpod To be honest, do any of them deserve a player of the month? Erik should start putting the name of the player who will let him down in an envelope at the start of every month. A fergie ploy.

People with disabilities face obstacles with basic banking tasks that often prevent them from exercising their autonomy to manage their own finances. A human rights approach based on the principles of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act is needed.

Precious little re autonomy, dignity and choice in #budget24 for the 1200+ younger disabled people in nursing homes, the 2200+ in congregated settings and many thousands of disabled adults infantilised in family homes by the state with no housing or support options.
