So much for disability adaptations.

In my latest podcast episode, I talk with Mr T, who has been in a wheelchair since a serious traffic accident. Mr T lives in East Devon.

His council home had very bad leaks, mould and flooding. The floorboards were so rotten that his wheelchair went through them. Great stuff from East Devon council there.

Anyway, the council put Mr T and his wife in a non-adapted temporary flat where he can’t turn his wheelchair around.

Upshot is that Mr T has to drag himself down the hall to the loo which he sometimes misses. He also has to sleep on the floor, because getting into his wheelchair at night for a trip to the bathroom is too hard.

I can’t tell you how pleased I am that Labour has decided to blow the rest of its tenure on meaningless leadership contests, rather than on funding councils to sort out serious issues like this.

Hope the lot of them fall forever into a sinkhole, including Andy Burnham. See how they like it.
