Today I commemorate Hind Rajab, who would've turned seven years old today if a US-backed genocidal Israel hadn't violently & intentionally exterminated the terrified girl, left waiting amidst the corpses of her family for an ambulance crew Israel massacred, with over 300 bullets shot from a tank.

She co-created, along with friend Eileen Atkins, Upstairs, Downstairs as she wanted the lives of working class characters who served the upper class to be dramatised & empathised with. I instinctively appreciated seeing this as a child with working class parents. She was a class act.

The cost of cuts to disability benefits: Our open letter to the Chancellor | Disability charity Scope UK
Right now, the government is considering changes to disability benefits. But for millions of disabled people, these benefits are a lifeline. They are the difference between surviving and being pushed deeper into poverty. Scope, alongside a coalition of charities, has written to the Chancellor, urging the Government to think again.

Extremely depressing how few plays by working class writers are being commissioned by regional theatres. If you can't get support regionally how on earth do you begin?
