My urgent message to Keir Starmer's Labour government about the devastating impact of cuts to #AccessToWork funding for working disabled people. wearebap.co.uk/campaign 1/4 @tomryalls.bsky.social @disabilityarts.bsky.social

I’m profoundly sad to say that as of today, I’ll no longer be able to do my job as co-artistic director of #Touretteshero because of a recent decision by #AccessToWork to cut my support by 61%. Read & share this post, the hardest I've had to write: www.touretteshero.com/2025/05/23/a... 1/4
