@Keir_Starmer blind peoples access needs at bus stops in cycle lane schemes has been systematically ignored over the past 10 years, leading to blind people being locked out of using their bus services. Will you change this & put an end to this discrimination please?

🚗 If you’re driving and see a pedestrian with a red and white cane, remember that they have sight and hearing loss.
Beeping your car horn at them won’t necessarily let them know you’re there, and they might cross the road at a slower pace - so please be patient.
ALT Graphic with an illustration of a red and white striped cane. Text over reads: Are you deafblind aware? Red and white canes: If you see someone using a red and white striped cane, it means they are deafblind and have both low vision and hearing loss.

Not been feeling myself lately. Not necessarily unwell just not right. Can’t pinpoint what’s actually wrong tho 🤷♀️

Make sure your dog has Christmas lunch! This Friday (the 14th) is the last day to order food from Royal Canin for guaranteed delivery before Christmas. You should also allow 8 days for delivery. So, don't delay, order today to ensure a happy guide dog over the festive season.

This is a lovely video and says to all. Blindness does not mean your life is over nor does it mean you can’t take part in sport or have a family, relationship or go out to work. Let’s retweet and get this video out there
