From today disabled workers effectively "stop" earning for the rest of the year because of the pay gap between us and non-disabled workers. That gap sits at 17.2%, with non-disabled employees making about £2.35 more per hour on average. #DisabilityPayGapDay #FairDues

In @FrankRGardner's own words: This is 2024, and I find it extraordinary that an airline is allowed to fly in and out of British airports with a policy that effectively says ‘if you can’t walk, you can’t go to the toilet on our planes’. #RightsOnFlights #EndAbleism

'It's inhumane.. sort it out' BBC journalist Frank Gardner told #BBCBreakfast he had to crawl to the loo on a flight from Warsaw to London because the Polish airline LOT does not have on board wheelchairs bbc.co.uk/news/disability
