This time last year, writers from @UoMDrama were in workshops with @CleanBrk, @tippmcr & @WTJ_Research to mark an accrued 70 years of prison theatre practice.
I wrote a blog about representation in their work, which is still available to read below👇🏻

“I’m shocked a Labour government would do this…and make this one of the first things they do.”
“Do you blame the Prime Minister for that?”

🚨DR UK's Statement on Passing of Assisted Dying Bill
We stand firmly against a law that risks pressuring Disabled people into decisions driven by lack of options rather than genuine choice. This bill could reinforce the narrative that Disabled people’s lives are less valuable.
ALT Disability Rights UK is deeply dismayed by the passing of the second reading by MPs of the Assisted Dying Bill with a majority of 55 in Parliament. This decision comes as a profound betrayal to Disabled people across the UK, who continue to struggle to live with dignity in a society that fails to meet even their most basic needs. At a time when social care is chronically underfunded, accessible housing is scarce, and many Disabled people are unable to afford food, energy, or other essentials, this legislation sends a chilling message: the government prioritises the right to die over the right to live. We stand firmly against a law that risks pressuring Disabled people into decisions driven by fear, desperation, or lack of options rather than genuine choice. This legislation could deepen inequalities and reinforce societal biases that view Disabled people’s lives as less valuable. FULL ON WEBSITE

Israel has murdered 111 people in Gaza since today’s dawn. Don’t normalize this genocide; don’t normalize the daily slaughter of more than a hundred people. Don’t normalize the killing and incineration of women, men, and children. Ceasefire now!

I started my career as a cleaner in the NHS. I learnt a lot about the world in that role. Some people treated me with respect, but many treated me badly. Cleaners hold hospitals together. I will absolutely judge you on how you treat the cleaners & porters.

What is so nasty about the Chris Kaba situation is the fact that news outlets are DELIBERATELY releasing this info as a bid to justify&distract from the reality of a GRAVE INJUSTICE&a falsified narrative to cover up what we know is true. A black man was shot. #Justice4ChrisKaba

Bravo to Lidia Thorpe, but also to the Auslan interpreter who continued to sign what Thorpe was saying.

Messages from Jabalia:
"Guys, people are being killed one after the other in Jabalia Camp, bodies are in the streets. I no longer know what to write or what to feel, or if it's just a figment of the imagination to write here in the hope that someone will see and be able to stop the bloodshed."

Do you remember this video from under a year ago? @Rahmazeinegypt telling off a journalist for their complicity in genocide. Every word Rahma said still holds true today!

It is increasingly clear that the UK is a participant in Israel's genocide in Gaza and its atrocities in Lebanon — something the government refuses even to acknowledge, let alone answer questions about.
