After a week of horror in #Belfast at the stabbing attack turned to violent riots, Northern Ireland’s other voice is being raised. Anti-racism protest underway in the city centre

Travelling on the train, this is what a #wheelchair user has to face - and that's after 5 other bikes were removed by the riders upon instruction by the conductor. I'm still stuck halfway in the aisle!

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Ffs 🤣

Update on Railways Bill: There was a major win on public ownership this week, but the government failed to take on ANY amendments for passenger and disability rights or public interest. Our full report is coming soon, before we take this fight to the House of Lords.

This really worries me A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06…

BREAKING: John Healey resigns as defence secretary over military spending plans

Back in London and a guy at the bus stop wanted to give me his umbrella. That’s London. ❤️

No problem with that. Speeds up boarding too.

Saying that, the bus driver was very good. He also just kicked someone off. Boarded the overcrowded bus even though he was told the bus is full.

It’s really no fun to travel to and from the airport as a wheelchair user in Dublin. People leave luggage on the wheelchair space and go upstairs.

Level boarding IS possible. youtu.be/3pNJuvWJg7M

I'm a white migrant to Northern Ireland. If I were a non-white migrant or born citizen here, working in health or social care, I would be seriously consider my future here. This is a crisis not just for the character of our society, but also for our core public services.

HS2 must be level boarding! Let’s not make another error with HS2!

Today, the Campaign has published an open letter to @Heidi_Labour regarding the news that the HS2 train fleet contract is to be reviewed. The opportunity to apply 8 years of learning on accessibility since the trains were originally specified MUST be taken.

I have been supporting a family who have been burned out of their home tonight. It is absolutely sickening. I am grateful to everyone who has stepped up to support them and make sure they are safe (including Parent Rooms / Happy Womens Group). This madness must end before someone is killed.

They said on a panel today they’re in talks with the UK Passenger Assist app provider. Still waiting for the app to put the ramp on a train. 🥴

Changed train unexpectedly and platform. Took a blind passenger with me. Guided him to the replacement train. 😂#EUAccessibility

My train back is taken out of service. 😂 These are my first two journeys with Irish Rail ever being totally memorable.

So now both accessible toilets at this event are broken. 😂 #EUAccessibility
