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.
As councils across the UK cut their #SocialCare budgets or blame care for cuts to other services I’m resharing our @Channel4 pilot #Biscuitland, a comedy with social care at the centre because it is the centre of mine & many other lives: youtu.be/hLsW23c55d0?si=AWCt…

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 itv.com/news/2023-12-14/gove… – at East, England

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.

Very sad news. A completely brilliant man and an absolute beacon of light ✨
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

I’ve been HIV+ for over 30 years. I’m happy healthy(and kinda hot). On one pill and can expect average life span. Pre exposure prophylaxis now means new cases have dropped hugely. The biggest challenge in the Uk is not medicine but stigma. So let’s talk about HIV. Silence =death

So it’s #ChildrenInNeedDay, you’d have to be pretty heartless to have a problem with it wouldn’t you? In fact, it’s precisely because of how much I care about the disabled & neurodivergent communities I’m part of that I wrote this: touretteshero.com/2021/11/20… 1/6

Fellow producers/fundraisers…Does anyone have any tips for good places for individuals to apply for short turnaround funding pots for arts & health projects in the UK? (Aside from ACE and local authority)

current waiting list for ‘benign’ gynae is 3 years. hysterectomy is 2-3 years. laparoscopy surgery is 4 years. 3 months for MRI results. 10 weeks for a smear test. 10 years for endo diagnosis. they are distracting you from their incompetency with this. don’t fall for it.

@Conservatives know what a woman is.   I know the vast majority of hardworking NHS staff and patients do too.   That is why I ordered a reversal of unacceptable changes to the NHS website that erased references to women for conditions such as cervical cancer. #CPC2023
