What a talent Tom Lehrer was - turned on to him by a university friend who introduced me to Poisoning Pigeons in the Park - but The Elements was always a favourite. This from @PhilippaWrites is well worth a read. “sophisticated musicianship with subversive subject matter…”
So sad to hear about Tom Lehrer's death. I wrote about why he was a genius, and why his songs stood the test of time. #TomLehrer globalcomment.com/why-ill-never-…

Can we have properly #Accessible buses and trains for travellers with disabilities across the board please? Asking as an able bodied ally and #UnpaidCarer. And please get rid of floating bus stops - so much potential for road rage & injuries (or worse)
Now we want to know what your priority would be to making travelling around the capital better 🫵 🔮 Is it about incremental changes or something much more radical like completely free travel or fully automated services? 🤖 Let us know 6/6 ⬇️ #TravelWatch25
Neil Duncan-Jordan isn’t just for Poole. He’s for disabled people & their #UnpaidCarers. Suspending @NeilForPoole & punishing other MPs who stand up for their most vulnerable constituents tells those living with disabilities (which could be any of us tomorrow) is an #OwnGoal.

The extra costs of disability also include being subject to deliberate misinformation and possible attacks as a result. #Motability #Accessibility
@MotabilityOps @MotabilityPress @DVLAgovuk @EHRC @ICOnews Yesterday a *very* sinister website using open source data was launched with people being encouraged to check wether their neighbours etc had a “free” car from Motability. It has been a distressing 24 hours for many
