Today the government will introduce rushed disability benefit cuts to parliament that will push over one million disabled people into poverty or deeper into poverty.
Watch out for how you can take action and urge your MP to vote against the ill-conceived plans.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

This weeks launch of @welshnattheatre.bsky.social at WMC with @mchshe.bsky.social was intriguing - some great work/ideas in development but a lot more questions around any plans to engage with smaller theatres/communities & a commitment to diverse voices/stories & artists as part of objectives tbc.
