Our CEO Tracey Lazard told BBC News that we welcome the newly launched London Disability Action Plan, and "the focus now must shift to ensuring the plan is implemented fully". buff.ly/1LHcHBV

Critics say Lord Sadiq Khan's disability plan 'lacks ambition'

The action plan includes measures to improve access to housing, transport, jobs and public services.

Failed Assistance - @northernassist, having put me on the train at Leeds, failed to get me off at my destination Harrogate, Then ignored the wheelchair space emergency alarm. The train was departing and I had to stand up and pull the red emergency alarm to get off.

🏥 Leaving hospital should feel safe, clear and properly planned — but we know this isn’t always people’s experience. If you or a loved one has been admitted to hospital in the last 12 months

.@sainsburys I’ve now spoken to your Store Manager three times over four weeks about the inaccessibility of these checkouts and how, as a wheelchair user, I feel discriminated against. Today, the response was simply a shrug of the shoulders.

Inclusion and accessibility are not optional. Disabled customers have a right to access your services equitably and independently. If Sainsbury’s continues to treat Disabled customers inequitably after barriers have repeatedly been brought to your attention, you must be prepared

Reform says **2.89 million people** could have disability payments removed or changed under its welfare plans. If you vote Reform, do not assume this only affects “someone else”. These are parents, partners, children, neighbours and workers. PIP is not an unemployment benefit, and many people receiving it are in work. When politicians say only the “severe and enduring” should keep cash support, the question is simple: **Who decides whether your disability is severe enough?** Voting for cuts does not guarantee the cuts will only ever land on somebody else. #ReformUK #PIP #DisabilityBenefits #DisabledPeople #DWP

Some residents on Broadwater Farm have been issued HIGH energy bills from the @haringeycouncil owned Heat Network… Hear what’s happening so far and what I’m asking the council to do to protect + fully assist residents ⬇️ (Literally writing the plan for them + still … 😏)
