🦇 Happy #BatAppreciationDay! Bats matter across the UK and around the world. Bat species play a vital role in ecosystems, from agricultural land to tropical forests. They pollinate plants, disperse seeds and eat insects which damage crops. More about why bats matter: www.bats.org.uk/about-bats/w...

🚨🎉 The Green Party BEATS Reform!!! 😮 Greens came fourth here last year. 💚 Proving once again that Greens can win anywhere. 🙌🏽 Labour tanking and Greens beating Reform! 👉🏽 Join.greenparty.org.uk

It's paperback publication day! The Arctic melt has changed the world forever and nearly everyone Megan loves is dead. She is put in an institution and her only hope is to persuade Jay to help her escape. Finalist in the Book Edit Writer's Prize, Overspill is available NOW #BookSky

I'm really excited that the paperback edition of Overspill is out in a couple of weeks. It's a crip #Cli-Fi vision of #Liverpool and #Dublin in an all too possible near future. Order direct from @srlpublishing.bsky.social to get a tree planted, or from your local #IndieBookshop. #BookSky

The Green MPs and Peers have written to Keir Starmer to urge for an end to the UK's involvement in the US and Israel's illegal war. Under international law, the UK is obliged to have no involvement in illegal military action, including the use of UK bases and UK-made weapons.

🎉 Green WIN! 🎉 🔶 to 💚 💚 Congratulations to Paul Ruddick of @liverpool.greenparty.org.uk on being elected in Aigburth ward!

All Disabled people should be legally able to speed up to "running" or "cycling"-equivalent speeds to get out of danger, whatever mobility devices we're using, at all times of day and night, and wherever we are travelling. wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/we-think-peo... #MobilityJustice

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

Happy International Women’s Day #IWD2026, after another 12 months of men doing such a great job of ruling across the globe….

My neighbours had three beautiful trees in their garden, bordering mine, that provided a habitat for a number of bird and animal species and created a gorgeous canape of green. Yesterday they had them all chopped down. I'm heartbroken. What is it with humans and killing things?

The best result possible and it wasn't even a close contest in the end. Congratulations to Hannah. I'm looking forward to weeks of hyperbole from the BBC about the Greens forming the next government, the same as there would have been if Reform won with 41% of the vote.

Hannah Spencer: councillor, plumber, greyhound lover and the only candidate who can beat Reform in Gorton & Denton today 💚

Time for the much more serious allegations against him to be investigated too

There's no single mobility aid that works for everyone. That's why we'll keep working to help make a world where all #Disabled people can use their ideal wheels to get around. Wishing everyone their ideal wheels in 2026!

The government’s “independent” spending watchdog has refused to explain why it removed figures from its crucial budget forecast report that proved spending on social security is not spiralling out of control. #OBR #Treasury #Budget25 www.disabilitynewsservice.com/watchdogs-si...

Cycling is for all and we are stronger for our diversity. Wheels for Wellbeing have a diverse staff team, are proud to join the Pride Ride and echo others in calling for @cyclinguk.bsky.social to reconsider their decision next year.

We are however disappointed at the exclusion this year of the many trans and non-binary individuals who contribute hugely to our communities.

We are thrilled our very own Katie Renker has been named as a Cycle Influencer in Cycling UK's 100 Women in Cycling 2025. www.cyclinguk.org/100women

Wheels for Wellbeing are concerned by reports that the Chancellor is considering putting a maximum price for cycles allowed through the Cycle to Work scheme. We are calling for the scheme to be reformed rather than capped. Read our full statement. wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/wheels-for-w...

Zag Daily's list of 100 Mobility Changemakers has been published. There are loads of great people on the list but it's a real shame none of the Disabled people leading accessible transport campaigns or the Disabled People's Organisations delivering change in the UK have been included. bit.ly/4pjqcor

Did you know the government spends £2.7 billion a year on tax breaks for oil & gas companies? I've written to Rachel Reeves to tell her to end this scandal: stop propping up declining oil & gas companies and back workers instead Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en... @38degrees.bsky.social

can't think of a headline that better sums up the BBC at present www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

A horrific attack with witnesses describing people running down the train and hiding in toilets to escape. I hope there were no #disabled people on board as they would have no means of escape. Crises always reveal the lack of emergency egress for disabled people. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Not good news for the teenage girls/young women of Norfolk… www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn...

What an absolutely amazing event!! Fantastic to see such a great turnout and so many people supporting this important campaign to make cycling safer for women, and therefore for everyone! #MyRideOurRight #RideTheNight #InclusiveCycling @cyclinguk.bsky.social

This Wednesday Kay, our Campaigns and Policy Manager, is taking part in Ride the Night Liverpool. This inclusive, women-led, evening ride aims to shine a light (literally!) on the need for safer streets and better cycling infrastructure, especially for women riding after dark.

It was great to visit my just published (with @srlpublishing.bsky.social) cli-fi thriller Overspill in my local indie bookshop yesterday - News from Nowhere Liverpool. There’s nothing like seeing your own book in your favourite bookshop! #BookSky

Palestinians will feel understandable relief. The West should feel nothing but shame. Gaza has been obliterated. The territory rendered uninhabitable. Tens of thousands murdered in cold blood. The entire population subjected to starvation tactics. And now, colonial subjugation under Trump and Blair

“I’m proud to be Black and proud to have a learning disability.” This #BlackHistoryMonth, the theme is Standing Firm in Power and Pride. Aisha Edwards shares why representation matters, the barriers she’s overcome, and what Black History Month means to her. 👉 Read her story: tinyurl.com/mt9z34xj

Rumour has it I’m talking about my favourite infrastructure tomorrow. What am I going to choose?!? It’s all interesting! Sign up to the launch tomorrow or find the guide online now (shh!): #Accessibility #ActiveTravel #Disability wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/our-campaign...

When not championing policy, our C&P lead, @kayinckle.bsky.social, is a talented fiction author, releasing her debut sci-fi novel today! We think its the first to be authored by AND include a wheelchair using, handcycling protagonist! srlpublishing.co.uk/product/over... #RepresentationMatters

Tomorrow (23rd) is publication day for the hardback and e-book of my cli-fi thriller, Overspill. Liverpool and Dublin after the artic melt, a young disabled woman after The Right to Care act, and a journey that will change two lives for ever…

Everywhere that there is a #BikeShare, e-bike share or e-scooter share scheme, there should be an accessible option for #Disabled people. We need active and sustainable mobility more than most, and yet we are so often excluded #Eco-Ableism #InclusiveCycling

In this country an 89 year old woman can be arrested for terrorism for sitting quietly on the floor with a hand written sign. And we claim to be a democracy with free speech and human rights... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The largest flotilla to ever sail to Gaza has just been announced The Global Sumud Flotilla coalition has announced plans for the largest coordinated civilian maritime mission ever undertaken to Gaza www.thecanary.co/global/world...

Excellent investigation here. I am still at a loss as to how the UK Government can define damaging planes or other property as terrorism, but shooting thirsty children who are standing in a queue for water as part of a nation's self defence and neither terrorism or genocide...

'The reason we have PIP is because it costs Disabled people £1,000 more each month to live to the same standard as non-disabled people, because of decisions Governments have made to not address that.' Kill the Welfare Reform Bill! 🎙️DR UK's Mikey Erhardt on LBC News today

Police should not be confiscating #Disabled people’s necessary equipment. Isra’s story illustrates Met bad practice and the need to sort out the law around mobility aids. #MyCycleMyMobilityAid. See our briefing on current, failing, #MobilityAids policy: wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/briefing-on-...

Great to see that following the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign by @pscupdates.bsky.social the Co-op have agreed to stop selling Israeli goods as they do not comply with the Co-op's values for sourcing goods. palestinecampaign.org/press-releas...

Poverty is a political choice, and this Government could be making different ones. Tax the super-rich properly. Don't punish disabled people.

Great to see some Labour MPs have found their integrity...

The Met Police have surpassed themselves with a new low on their EDI fails - this time confiscating a #disabled man's wheelchair and impounding it in the car pound. Thankfully @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk are on the case... #TakingTheDis www.salamandernews.org/police-impou...

Yay! It's official! My cli-fi debut novel Overspill is out this September with @srlpublishing.bsky.social Liverpool (and Dublin) as you have never seen them before...

I was really pleased to represent @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk on my home turf (cycle track!) on Saturday at @merseycyclists.bsky.social's Cycling Summit. Many diverse groups were represented throughout the day, highlighting both the need and potential for #InclusiveCycling in the region.

Cycling can be life-changing for many #Disabled people, providing autonomous mobility, transport, health and social participation. It's essential that we all see people "like us" cycling and that cycling, sustainability and #ActiveTrave campaigners champion #InclusiveCycling.

Imagine trying to navigate this with a trike, or a child trailer, or a cargo cycle... Definitely not #InclusiveCycling! #AcessFail

Really pleased to co-sign this letter as a feminist and former academic: "Not in Our Name: Feminist Academics and Educators Speak Out Against Transphobia." And heartfelt thanks to @drdyidhuijg.bsky.social for co-ordinating this much needed response.
