A Liberal Democrat peer says she was left at a bus stop in the rain because a driver allegedly refused to let her on, saying the designated wheelchair space was already occupied by a pushchair.

Sal Brinton, who is president of the Lib Dems, told BuzzFeed News that despite telling the driver that wheelchair users had priority over buggies, she was still denied entry. She said the experience made her feel "angry" and irrelevant".

The incident, which took place on Monday, comes seven months after the Supreme Court ruled that wheelchairs must be given priority over pushchairs. It is the latest in a series of examples where the ruling has not been upheld.
