They are wrong to do this. Case Law exists.

Look up the Paulley V First Group case.

@kingqueen.org.uk is the expert on this as it’s his litigation that got the clarification that legally wheelchair uses have the right to that space, no one else.

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.

Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.

That, right there, is the problem.

His party only has 4 or 5 MPs but the media have him on everything constantly. Other parties that aren’t on the right don’t get a look in despite being more established & functional. It’s a media problem as much as a far right problem.

Yeah. He’s evil. It was him and Banks etc behind Brexit. He even did media for Russian TV. Proper fascism vibes. Voted in by one of the poorest communities in the UK (rural maga probably the closest comparison even though it’s a town)
Glad he got called out for this!

It's shocking that with a new Labour government and in 2025, equality of access to our railway for disabled people is actually being downgraded, not tackled.
An important letter here to the Transport Secretary to do the basic decent thing and get disabled people's needs right on the agenda.

London’s low-traffic zones ‘cut deaths and injuries by more than a third’ Exclusive: Study also finds no change in number of casualties on roads just outside low-traffic neighbourhoods

When I pointed out on Twitter a couple years ago that available evidence indicated that campaigning *against* Low Traffic Neighborhoods was functionally the same as campaigning *for* more kids to be run over, I got absolutely monstered for it.

Anywhere, here is more of that famed Social Injustice

Wow

If we don't start telling the truth about why this happened, it's going to keep happening. We have an idiot running this country who thought FEMA & NOAA were a drain on the budget. How much is YOUR child worth? That was TX, so you know most of them voted for the man that just killed their children.

The NWS did issue a flood watch but it took 4 hours for the state to send an alert. The state should have immediately sent an alert to cell phones but....Abbott, Patrick, et al...

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Due to a “statutory requirement to automatically impose budget cuts when legislation increases the deficit,” Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill (which Rs just passed) requires “automatic sequestration cuts across the board,” including Medicare cuts, as “confirmed by the Congressional Budget Office…” 1/

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

Dozens of Labour MPs still expected to rebel over welfare bill as government defends reforms - live updates Keir Starmer and his ministers have been scrambling to convince MPs to back watered-down welfare changes after concessions were made last week.

#DisabledByTheRailway is one of 138 orgs who signed the reasoned amendment that has been selected today.

Urging all MPs of all party colours to now put their constituents first!

FUCK. THE. FASH.

Text of tweet posted at 9.33am on 26th June (i.e. this morning) by Diane Abbott: The fight over the welfare bill is not about Morgan McSweeney or Keir Starmer. It is not even about the Labour party, even though it could be strongly affected. It is about the hundreds of thousands of people who will be pushed (deeper) into poverty.

I'd say roughly 75% of mainstream news reporting about the disability benefit cuts has been from a Westminster angle rather than the actual impact the cuts will have
