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.

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".

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?

Trip to Whitby. Haven't been to the coast in far too long. Maybe pick somewhere more wheelchair friendly next time 😀

A Norwegian looks out of his window at a comically large ship booping his house.

Favourite photo from the Norwegian ship booping incident:

A screenshot of a Telegraph headline: BBC championed 'hate' rapper's early career as 'poet with a powerful message' Corporation praised Bob Vylan frontman early on in his career

Screenshot of a Telegraph headline from November 2024: Bob Vylan: here's Britain's answer to Rage Against the Machine Energetically received by a sold-out Electric Brixton crowd, the punk-rap duo defied all expectations

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.

Stress blamed for high number of NHS call handlers quitting High numbers of staff leaving because of high pressure, lack of support, verbal abuse, long shifts and low pay, union says

I don't get why Jobs like this are a 12 hour shift. A much shorter shift which gives staff time to properly recover mentally would seem way more sensible www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Music festival operator signs legal agreement after multiple access failings The UK’s leading music festival operator has been forced to sign a legal agreement with the equality watchdog after serious access failings at events it ran both this summer and last year. Live Nat…

I think they've improved it a bit after the joke that Download 2023 was, but haven't been back since. It's a shame as it was and had a good team helping out just seemed like higher ups lost interest and wanted to save money. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/music-festiv....

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

"slashing benefits doesn't suddenly create accommodations in work places which allow those who can and want to work to do so"

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

3 seats left

shows error messages as it won't let you leave a single empty sear

Why is booking tickets so painful @ticketmaster.com @nin.com

Because and Butthead as Elon and Trump

So many people leaving the other place, not long now until it's just Elon and Trump replying to bots
