Absolutely love making this piece on the Sustrans North Lancashire County Council Lune Valley greenway accessibility improvements.

It was all filmed on smartphones and then the cycle path bits were filmed on my GoPro on my helmet, before being edited by moi on FCPX

As someone living with cerebral palsy, someone who does not have cerebral palsy using *that* word as an insult is abhorrent. Not 'virtue-signalling nonsense', but offensive, ableist language.

I sincerely hope you apologise for the offence caused in your short video, Mr Barton.

Sat here for over an hour today asking people what they would like to ask the Blackpool South by-election candidates for BBC Lancashire!

As a wheelchair user asking random punters if they had ten seconds to chat, I only got mistaken for a beggar or a chugger about ten times!

Candidates in the upcoming Blackpool South by-election have been telling me & BBC Lancashire what they hope to achieve, if elected.

Ben Thomas is the The Green Party Blackpool & Fylde Green Party 🍃💚🍃 candidate.

He says more action is needed to tackle things like deprivation and the environment:

As HLTCO puts it so well 'that “ignoring it and not affording him oxygen” doesn’t work when his reach influences so many others to feel as though they can stop hiding their obvious prejudice'

As someone with CP, seeing this insult being used by someone I grew up admiring for his football skills really hurts.

And yes I am one, but I’ve two degrees, speak several languages and I’m currently the political reporter for BBC Lancashire!

Tried powerchair football for the first time this evening at Greenbank Sports Academy in Liverpool!

It’s a very different type of electric chair to what I’m used to, but it’s great fun! The WFA European Powerchair Football Association
