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’

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! ft.com/content/ebdf55f4-61b8…

Navigating public transport and infrastructure to work

For disabled jobseekers, accessible trains and buses are a route out of worklessness into employment and higher pay

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.

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

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.

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

Rachel Reeves says she'll amend the finance bill to soften planned changes to the non dom tax regime after intense lobbying from wealthy UK residents 🤨 The govt will increase the "temporary repatriation facility" which allows non-doms to bring money instantly to UK without paying significant taxes. “We have been listening to the concerns that have been raised by the non-dom community,” she says.

It was a privilege to speak at the 40th anniversary of the Microscope Ball, a great event that raised over half a million pounds in one night. My thanks to all who attended and gave so generously in support of Muscular Dystrophy UK. Don’t ask about the dancing stormtroopers 😅

Last night, we raised over half a million pounds at the 40th Microscope Ball! 💥 Huge thanks to everyone from the property sector who brought the 80s back at the London Hilton. Your generosity will impact 110,000 people with muscle wasting conditions! ❤️

A coalition of disabled people's charities and passenger organisations have written to the Prime Minister, urging him to take four simple steps to make UK transport systems more accessible. Find out what they are, and read the letter in full transportforall.org.uk/news/…
Three disabled people sit and stand in a busy railway station. The first is a Black male with clipped hair, he is a wheelchair user with a limb difference. The second is a white woman with long brown hair and glasses, standing with her hand on her hip. The last is a south-east Asian man with glasses, he is a wheelchair user. They are gazing determinedly at the camera. The words say 'NEWS: Coalition of charities calls for the Prime Minister to secure transport accessibility for disabled people'.

We’re thrilled to share our first poem from Cecilia Knapp, City Bridge Foundation’s new poet-in-residence. ‘O Southwark Bridge’ celebrates the quietest of our five bridges – the one that’s used by pedestrians and cyclists in the know – seeking a quick, quiet route into and from the City. With its bright green and yellow livery, its snug alcoves and distinctive lamp posts, Southwark Bridge is more than just a river crossing. Today, supported by our friends at @PoetrySociety, we celebrate Southwark Bridge and its unsung role in London life. Read more: citybridgefoundation.org.uk/…
