The @DailyMail’s correction & apology for making up something I never said comes after a week in which it has run, by my last count, 6 headline pieces condemning me for being, amongst other things, “unhinged” & “semi-deranged”

Liz Carr says disabled people find the prospect of assisted dying terrifying. She says the law could change culture, medical relationships, and the value placed on certain lives.

The chaos at this Park Lane bus stop was introduced by the now Secretary of State for Transport, @Heidi_Labour. It has supposedly been improved, but it’s still hopeless for sighted people and inaccessible for blind people. The SoS should visit with blind people to understand.

.@LM_Westminster @CityWestminster @TfL the changes made to Park Lane floating bus stop has not improved the situation. It’s not safe, it’s dangerous for bus passengers & it is not accessible for blind people. BS 8300-1:2018 Section 6.2.2 on bus stops needs to be used please.

The oldest meat & fish markets in London, which date back 850 years, are facing closure from 2028. Smithfield meat market & Billingsgate fish market are to close after the City of London Corporation voted to withdraw support. A huge blow to independent fresh food suppliers.

Henry "even if a few grannies get bullied into it" Marsh clarifies: Agrees "yes, in principle", if there's some cases of coercion into 'assisted' death, the greater public good is satisfied. "There is always a cost" "But you justify that risk by saying more people benefit"

I can't think of another piece of legislation so ostentatiously championed by privilege, so driven by corporate opportunism, so precisely targetted at the vulnerable, so marinaded in supersition. This is what the Great Reform act was supposed to prevent.

The rise isn’t extraordinary. The graph is just of Universal Credit claimants and millions have been moved onto it from other benefits which it has absorbed and those legacy benefits they may also have had no such requirements.

In Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine. A cafe is allowing children to buy Hot Chocolate with leaves from trees. Despite Russian shelling the cafe is allowing the children to have some magic and happiness to brighten their lives a little. I love this so much.
