“I started Fireraisers because I knew that 90% of people wouldn’t willingly go in to a building called a theatre…
I empathise. Often, I’d rather be at a club or gig or pub. I want the unexpected. What about you? @Firecrazee , Fireraisers AD

The DWP admitted 25 cases in one year where their own errors caused serious harm or death—missed suicide warnings, ignored calls for help, unsafe decisions. They said it after the vote. Will you listen on ‘substantial risk’ now? It’s about to get worse. tinyurl.com/3xwjmmw9

Post your videos and help everyone understand that this isn't a concession - future disabled people will be condemned to the same fate, and what's about the connected benefits? #TakingThePIP #TwoTierStier #DisabilityRebellion #CripsAgainstCuts #WelfareNotWarfare

Thank you we appreciate it.
If you get a chance send your MP colleagues my interview with Sky News I did earlier please. I've been speaking out as well as doing my petition.
Thank you

Disabled people’s organisations, including @Dis_PPL_Protest, @TakingThePIP1 & @DisRightsUK, have rightly condemned Labour’s so-called “concessions” on disability benefit cuts.
It’s not a concession to condemn future generations to less support.
I’ll be voting against this Bill.

#WelfareNotWarfare
There are millions of disabled people across the UK petrified and worried about Labour’s proposed cuts.
On 30th June and 1st July at protests in London & across the UK as a movement we show them who we are; determined, angry & we will resist government cuts

I’m afraid this is just what I thought would be the case. #killthebill
And i bet assessors will be incentivised in to harsher judgements so more people lose PIP

It’s not just the cost of attending events and travel and per diems but also the loss of income - all part of the calculation we make in deciding whether or not to attend/particpate
The sacrifices that freelancers make to participate in self-funded events chimes with the wider issue of unpaid work in the industry, says Joe Gilmour in The Stage this week...

ALT Text card - “theatre needs to address the inequality between employees and freelancers. We freelancers also have a responsibility. We hide how precarious things are, as if it’s a sign of failure as an artist. But it’s not us that’s failing, it’s the industry.” - The quote is credited to Freelance Director, Joe Gilmour

Have I got this right? Starmer’s concessions re: pip is
disabled ppl who don’t score 4 points on 1 daily living q won’t get their PIP yanked now, but at their next review?
new claimants will still have to score 4 points?
If so, how is this a concession?
