Before slamming everyone with an SUV, remember that many disabled people get them through motability as they are more spacious for carrying their aids such as wheelchairs.
Luckily, many of them are at least hybrid now, with some fully electric.
It's not always cut & dry.
While many are happy to demonise SUV drivers, I see barely anyone pointing out they are more often used by disabled people.
I have a SUV, it makes my life easier as a wheelchair user.
I'm in no place to judge someone, who for all I know, is disabled or cares for someone who is.
Some people are so invested in defending a cause, they fail to even consider disabled people before putting their hot take out.
Instead, all SUV drivers get painted as problematic and disabled people are once again, sidelined.
Nick Thomas-Symonds MP, Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary, commenting on the sentencing of Sarah Everard’s murderer, said:
"Words cannot express what Sarah’s family and friends have been going through, and our first thoughts today are with them.
"It is right that the perpetrator of this heinous crime will never leave prison but this can never make up for Sarah’s family’s loss.
"All women and girls must be able to have confidence in our police to keep them safe.
"It is very clear that serious mistakes were made and there now must be an urgent, fully transparent and comprehensive investigation to ensure that this never happens again and to ensure women’s confidence and trust in the police.
EXCLUSIVE - A FoI has revealed the @ukhomeoffice knew of a "strong right wing presence" around Napier Barracks in Kent & planned to create a narrative the fence was for asylum seekers safety.
They knew 28 men blocks would have use of 2 toilets, some urinals, 6 sinks & 4 showers.
2/ Here is a list of works carried out by the @ukhomeoffice at Napier Barracks in preparation for housing asylum seekers.
However, this list of repairs and their report on the condition of the Barracks, doesn't fit with the much more grim handover report @DefenceHQ gave them.
3/ The Home Office report says all fire regulations were in order when they took over and no structural problems existed. However, a FoI from the MoD lists rotten fire door, broken windows blocks, rotting windows, structural supports corroded and more.
