You shouldn’t care about #SocialCare because it’s in crisis you should care about social care because it’s about people, our lives, our families, being part of our communities. No one’s getting social care who doesn’t need it but lots of people who need it are not getting it.
Excited to have been awarded DYCP funding by @ace_national to explore accessible, socially engaged, co creation across arts and health. Looking forward to collaborating with a brilliant team of creatives and academics! #DYCP
CN: assisted suicide. Some say ‘well no one’s forcing you’ but if you haven’t sat opposite a social worker/assessor justifying how long it takes to wee I doubt you’ll get the depth of many disabled people’s fears. How can we have a right to die without a right to independent life
Minister for Disabled People SCRAPPED.
We are 24% of the population. Healthcare, benefits, cares, quality of life… all these things don’t matter to the Government.
We are left behind. Shame on you @RishiSunak@Conservatives

@iamKirstenT I know. I’m hearing of parents really struggling with not just getting things sorted in terms of gifts this year, but the constant stream of emails & demands from schools. Juggling time off for events, getting the right clothes on the right day & generally feeling overwhelmed.
The tragic terrible news has come to me that Benjamin Zephaniah's family have announced that Benjamin has died. I'm devastated. I admired him, respected him, learnt from him, loved him. Love and condolences to the family and to all who loved him too.
Some useful points for those commissioning #ArtsFreelancers:
- Respect their knowledge with your arrangements
- Recognise freelancers are best placed to know their economic worth, livelihood needs and on costs
- Don't make payment systems that treat them like criminals 1/3
