We're delighted the Department for Transport has launched a public consultation into reviewing the law around powered mobility devices.
This has the potential to improve the independence, physical & mental health, employment & social options of Disabled individuals and their families across the UK.

Snapped the tendon of my middle finger taking a sock off one-fingered (officially called mallet finger) 🙄
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Snowy cycling on #ValleyGardens #Brighton this morning. Shows how things like lamp columns right next to the track affect cycling - people keeping around 0.5m away, just as it says in LTN1/20! Tyre tracks on the footway don't look good though - someone has driven onto it & around the small tree 😱

In Mozambique, the French energy company TotalEnergies funded troops responsible for grave human rights violations.
@source-material.org and @lemonde.fr showed that TotalEnergies knew the soldiers they funded were accused of torturing, raping and killing — and kept paying them.

On Christmas, we’re reminded of the choice we can all make – to choose love for our neighbor, care, and solidarity with one another. May the spirit of Christmas move all of us to action, and toward a future of dignity and freedom for all.

Just saw someone say the Bondi Beach massacre wasn't antisemitic because the killer was motivated by "the Zionist policies of Israel as a state".
If your response to the policies of the Israeli state is to go and massacre some random Jews who are not Israeli, then *yes you're fucking antisemitic*

A lot of people here who consider themselves Left and progressive and humane are arguing that the killings of Jews abroad are the fault of Jews for supporting the existence of the Jewish state. That this argument is classic antisemitism (the Jews make us kill them) escapes them. My response is FU.

You all realize that if the massacre in Australia happened to ANY other religious group on one of their biggest holidays, the world would be outraged & calling it terrorism & demanding an end to the “religious persecution”. Yet somehow, when it’s Jewish people, it’s just another day. /1
