Sanctions used as punishment at will

Proof if it was needed that there is no sensible approach to the use of sanctions. It is used to punish vulnerable people, just because #DWP can.

Google maps include access information

Good start, but I would like this to be a nationwide initative. Not all disabled people live in London, and disabled people everywhere face access challenges.  It won't just help disabled people, but families with pushchairs too.

Good news maybe

It looks like disabled people may get more rights on public transport. I want to see the details before I get too excited. Drivers will.need to be given new powers and use them to ensure any new rights are enforced

Frustrated

Really gets on my nerves when people who should know better expect disabled people to focus on things that are pink & fluffy. The reality of living with  disability is often very different

Randoms Day Out

Random people out in force today. Lady opens door to costa then promptly lets go, it swings back at me. Man decides he will open the loo door in Costa but as I come out closes it on me, then asks why I can't get out.Then another lady stops me in the street and asks why I don't go at top speed and scare people! 😁😁

Brown envelope fear factor

Brown envelope 'terror' turned out to be no more than a benefit increase that actually wasn't. Tory welfare policy has many of us scared of opening our post.
