I’m on my 5th Motability car & have never been “given” one yet. Advanced payments cost even more because I can only drive an auto due to leg neuropathy, and have to have one big enough for my folding power chair to go in the boot. Why are MPs allowed to lie so blatantly when it comes to disability?

My sister has a motability car and has never been "given" one. So where are these free cars hmm? She usually pays between 3/4k advance payment plus monthly motility allowance plus extra for necessary adaptions. So who exactly is getting a free car 'cause it certainly isn't the disabled!
What would be nice is to have the same spec minus things that take away boot space and "sport" seats that make getting out a little more awkward.
Motability in the news once more for giving out luxury cars. So I'll say it again once more - it's cheaper to get the luxury model with the features built in then to adapt a basic car with automated everything.

My attempts to combine nitrous oxide and Oxo cubes have made me a laughing stock.

Technically this sentence is right because it is almost impossible to get a Motability car just because you've got ADHD.

Can we have politics that does not try and divide the country please? Can you try and understand the problem before kicking off?
Badenoch: Motability cars not for people with ADHD
Conservative Party Leader Kemi Badenoch says she would "restrict" motability cars so that they only go to those with "serious disabilities", adding they're "not for people with ADHD".

I'm hoping Smokie have done the music for this tonight.
Trip to Whitby. Haven't been to the coast in far too long. Maybe pick somewhere more wheelchair friendly next time 😀

The Telegraph is appalled that the BBC praised the rapper in Bob Vylan er, twenty years ago. Just wait until they hear about the appalling, radicalised rag that gave them a four star review eight months ago.
It's like every job advertised these days is for long shifts. Yet study after study shows it's generally bad for people and productivity. There there is the disability side - long hours are making it hard for people who can't do long hours to get jobs.
I got ruined when Festival Republic turned up and tried to run it like Leeds and Reading. Since then they have been chipping away at what made it good and penny pinching and things like chairs that don't fall apart, or enough platform space for the number of tickets sold.
Download? Why would I want to go when I can see the headliners I want to see a year earlier at Piece Hall, with an actual decent disabled platform, good sound and you can actually see and band? Plus all the smaller bands I want to see don't do Download anymore

this is such a perfect example of why pip has to exist
I live 500m from a station but because it's not accessible, I've got to drive 9 miles to another station to get to work. It's stuff like this my PIP covers. It covers things that keep me able to work

Say it out loud

"slashing benefits doesn't suddenly create accommodations in work places which allow those who can and want to work to do so"
So that's the disabled being targeted, yet again. Most people don't choose not to be able to work, slashing benefits doesn't suddenly create accommodations in work places which allow those who can and want to work to do so, and risks driving more into poverty. #r4today

Hat tip to flairmesh who have released a dongle that works with my hearing aids and WTF to creative and intel who are completely indifferent to the fact their devices fall fixable short of working with them.
Cleaning my flat in my lunch break as its less soul destroying then catching up on the news and social media
Think I might need a new TV soon as it's glitches a few times. Just had a quick look and why is everything I find worse than my current model. TikTok button but no subtitle button? I mean WTF?! And the sound - my first TV had better sound then most of the ones I've tried.
Another presale - another fail. No wheelchair tickets at all today
Now I've got ghost tickets it won't let me book or remove so had to go back in queue
