I want to say this is unbelievable but sadly I can’t.

It really isn’t too much to ask in 2024 for fair access to travel for disabled people - yet we constantly have to fight for it.

Hope you are feeling alright @FrankRGardner

Wow. It’s 2024 and I’ve just had to crawl along the floor of this LOT Polish airline to get to the toilet during a flight back from Warsaw as “we don’t have onboard wheelchairs. It’s airline policy”. If you’re disabled and you can’t walk this is just discriminatory.

Sometimes it is depressing thinking about the climate challenge - but just look what we have done!

This is incredible! We have shown the path to decarbonisation to the world! There is still so much to do but lets celebrate our wins!

Makes you proud to be British ⚡️🇬🇧🌍

This is the moment Ratcliffe power station came off the electricity system for the final time, marking the end of 142 years of coal generating electricity in Great Britain!
