Footage from Liz laying out Labour’s “tasty” plans.
Up to 1.2 million disabled people will lose thousands of pounds under the gov’s welfare overhaul. If you want more people to get “out of bed” and into work; don’t cut care & mobility budgets that help people get out of bed & into work!

Nik & I have been collaborating for over a year now! We’re looking kick on with our exciting new project, The Grim Collective. Here’s an old poem of mine with some fresh beats, provided by Nik. Unfortunately the subject is still painfully relevant, with the gov’s plans to ✂️ welfare by £9billion.

This callous ignorant rhetoric is now systemic. It’s been abundantly clear that Labour was never going to reverse these welfare reforms proposed by the tories. I’m sick to death of having to justify the value of disabled people’s existence through economic terms.

NEW: Creative Scotland will fund more cultural organisations on a multi-year basis than ever before. 🙌
It’s thanks to a significant uplift in Scottish Government funding, for which thousands of our supporters campaigned.
We’ll have more analysis soon.
