'They'll be looking down the back of the settee this afternoon to see if they can find a couple of quid - I usually look at the golf bag, that's where I keep a couple of quid just to keep it away from people - and chuck it into a pot to get up on the plane,' Wilder said.

Mum Kara had spotted a campaign on social media, called Raise Our Voice in Parliament, where more than 40 MPs have volunteered to read a speech by a young Australian in the House of Representatives or Senate.

Blindness campaigners were so concerned they spent five hours filimg at a shared use bus stop in Waltham Forest, catching no fewer than 19 potentially dangerous incidents involving cyclists and e-scooter riders on camera.

Chelsea are also unable to spend more than £20,000 on match travel under the terms of the special licence they have been granted, prompting fears they would have to embark on a 10-hour coach trip to North Yorkshire.

'Floating bus stops' - or in TfL's language 'shared use bus boarders' (SUBBs) - have a cycle lane between the bus shelter and the road - forcing passengers to venture through incoming bike traffic to board their bus. 

The Highway Code states: 'Cyclists should give way to pedestrians on shared use cycle tracks' and that they 'should always take care when passing pedestrians, especially children, older or disabled people, and allow them plenty of room'.

In January the NFB handed a petition to the Prime Minister appealing for the government to stop using such bus stops as they are 'not safe or accessible for blind, visually impaired and many vulnerable groups of bus passengers, as they create a barrier to accessing public transport independently'.

Wilder said he expects Chelsea will continue to enjoy similar levels of success to the Abramovich era once the Blues have been bought, with the deadline for bids for the West London outfit falling at 9pm today.

The two sides meet at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday evening with the Blues having been plunged into uncertainty by the UK government's sanctions on owner Roman Abramovich, imposed due to his links with Vladimir Putin following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
