Thanks to @gorettihorgan for providing a sensible voice in the "debate".

Deeply disappointing segment on the Nolan Show this morning, feeding misconceptions and mistruths about @MotabilityOps. The scheme is an important lifeline for many disabled people and should not be used as a stick to beat us with.

This is very positive news. Thanks to @LizKimminsSF for listening to the concerns of members (and of disabled people in general) and taking this welcome step forward in tackling the issues created by inconsiderate parking.

🅿️ 🚗 Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins will bring forward legislation to tackle inconsiderate pavement parking across the north. The new legislation will prohibit parking wholly (with 4 wheels) on a pavement; parking across dropped kerbs for pedestrian access; as well as a

RT @castleDD: I'm listening to @BBCNolan dragging disabled people and Mobility through the mud this morning. Mobility is vital for disable…

@StephenNolan stirring up hate against disabled people again this morning with an ill informed hit job on @MotabilityOps. He is a disgrace.

Accessible travel just got an upgrade after Germany unveiled the ICE L, the country's first high-speed train with low-floor, step-free access. #dwbusiness

Do these Roadshows highlight how inaccessible many of these coaches are to disabled people and how many of the stops used are not accessible to wheelchair users? @deptinfra @ImtacNI @castleDD

I attended an informative online discussion today abt the current proposals for a UN CRPD (Obligation on Public Authorities) Members Bill hosted by @ImtacNI & @DannyDonnelly1 Thanks @castleDD for capturing the photo. Despite my expression the discussions were very positive 🤣

I'm "relentless, but not vexatious" says @railandroad's Board in a subject access request. I couldn't be prouder.

A wheelchair user, who was stuck several times on the Glider in Belfast after the ramp failed to come down, has settled her disability discrimination case against Translink for £7,500 – https://t.co/AlA1KwRKMk - @MykeyLorimer @SCI_Belfast @joekennymusic

Thanks @jonnyharvey11 and all our other guides this morning. This is part of a partnership with @InclusionLondon. Disability Equality Training developed and delivered by disabled people is a key component of shifting cultures. Thanks @deptinfra officials for embracing change.

🚍 Great morning leading a “guided journey” with @deptinfra staff on behalf of @ImtacNI, to experience the highs & lows of accessibility on public transport. Part of their disability awareness training - brilliant engagement & thoughtful questions from all involved! 👏

Traveled from Belfast Grand Central to Lisburn Train Station several times over the weekend. @LizKimminsSF | @deptinfra | @Translink_NI | @ImtacNI This fom of transport is so much more comfortable and convenient than the Goldliner. I felt depressed, knowing what I was missing,

Tailored “job coaching” sounds benign, but under current conditionality rules it means pressuring sick and disabled people into unsuitable jobs. The scheme operates alongside tightened substantial risk rules and UC Health restrictions. Together, they strip entitlements first.
