🔴 If the Government Wants to ‘Get Britain Working’, Why Is It Ignoring All the Learning Disabled People Who Want to Find Jobs?
Less than 5% of people with learning disabilities are employed, while 86% want to be. Labour must think about who it values as being worthy of work, writes @sabasalman.com

Really important piece about how women in particular are bearing the brunt of the collapse of the SEN system. I'm in several FB groups for parents of children with disabilities and the VAST majority of those active in them, seeking solutions, battling for care, are mums.
I wrote about the way the SEND crisis is quietly unpicking women's lives - destroying careers, dismantling relationships, damaging physical and mental health.
And all this goes on unacknowledged.
Long read for The i Paper:

Planning tonight’s Leeds Actor’s in Training session and I want to share this book with you. I use it for writing, directing and actor training. Stephen Jeffrey’s is a font of knowledge and experience that spans disciplines. I’ve read a lot of ‘how to’ books over the years and this is top 3.

in the words of the great Gil Scott Heron: "mandate my ass"
There was no mandate for Trump.
The real mandate is that Democrats need to wage a battle against the wealthy forces who have rigged the economy in their favor.
Americans across the board want a fairer economy. Trump Republicans won’t deliver one. Dems must fill the void.

I'm putting together a Groucho Marx starter pack:
“Je suis Marxiste, tendence Groucho.” If you’re interested let me know and I won’t add you..
Groucho's daughter wanted to join a swimming club, but it was restricted. Groucho wrote to them: 'my daughter's half-Jewish, can she go in up to her waist?'
