I think I found the geekiest hotel room in Berlin. It has 6 sockets and 6 USB chargers. Even I don’t have that many devices.

This culture is not getting fixed by putting a Union Jack on the side of a train and calling it Great British Railways. This needs strong leadership without constantly making excuses for discriminating disabled people.

More than 100 of the UK’s most high-profile disabled people urge the Prime Minister to abandon the ā€œinhumane and catastrophic plans to cut disability benefitsā€. My exclusive: theguardian.com/society/2025/m…

I’m speaking out because cutting PIP would be devastating. It’s been my lifeline — helping me live independently and build a comedy career. Without it, I wouldn’t have managed. This is about dignity, not just money. These cuts are dangerous. Stop #TakingThePIP. TakingThePIP

The highly modern and accessible charging solution at the German capital’s 7 billion airport. There are cables on the high table. 🤯 Yes, this was irony.

ā€œDon’t forget to load the wheelchair again like last timeā€ is really reassuring to hear at a departure gate. Not. šŸ˜‚

BER is hopelessly understaffed even for Germany. They argue now if the man with a foot and knee injury and visibly in pain gets boarding assistance because ā€œhe hasn’t bookedā€. I guess he didn’t plan his injury either. This booking obsession is even harming non-disabled people.

Agreed. And the Equality Act is a 24/7 law. And sending a cab with an ETA of 0037 when you informed the train operator at 2311 you intend to travel on a 25 minutes journey, isn’t a reasonable adjustment for anything.

Annoyed to find that Heathrow Airport is slipping back into its old bad habits, leaving disabled passengers still waiting for a high-lift to turn up so we can get off the plane, long after all others have disembarked. Other airports can manage. C’mon Heathrow, get a grip!

An English idiom about facing the consequences of one’s actions is ā€œyou made your bed, now lie in it.ā€ In Italian, an equivalent phrase is hai voluto la bicicletta? Adesso pedala! It means ā€œyou wanted the bicycle? Now pedal it!ā€
