The Renters’ Reform Bill no longer has the support of the Renters’ Reform Coalition - a group including Shelter, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Generation Rent because it…doesn’t actually give a date for the ban on Section 21 evictions which is…what it was designed to do
"The page on the councils website where you could report a landlord gave you a 404 error for over a year. Don't worry, they fixed it by just removing the page." - audience member
"Access comes at the very point of conception of design and needs to be a priority" excellent input from our chair @simonjfloyd
That's a wrap folks! Thank you so much everyone for coming down and a big thanks to our host @simonjfloyd and our panelists @CllrKarenDavis @jajo_osborn @SeBen27 and @fultonmatthew
🚨 BREAKING: This Government's cruel Rwanda Bill has just passed Today will forever leave a stain on the UK’s moral reputation. The UK has an obligation to provide safety to refugees. It's now vital that flights to Rwanda do not leave the tarmac. amn.st/6016bgJUK

At Labours National Policy Forum last year, I repeatedly advocated for Labour to commit to funding free school meals, at a time when child poverty is sky high and thousands rely on food banks. Apparently there’s no money for that, but there is for a ‘hike’ in defence spending.

the planet is on fire, our health service and welfare state have been sliced to ribbons, millions are in poverty, unable to afford to live and the one single solid budget commitment starmer’s labour seem to be willing to make is to purchase more bombs. deplorable.

Consistently feeding greedy landlords whose only aim is to push for higher rents and heftier profits at the expense of essential, truly affordable housing is despicable. This only deepens the loop of unstable and unaffordable rental markets.

Selling off what little, exemplary social housing we have is a sure fire way to deliberately drive us further into an already out of control housing crisis, deprive those who are most in need of secure housing - and all whilst chasing higher profits.

“Houses built on council owned land should be 100% social housing. Not affordable, social housing.” Great to hear @CllrKarenDavis standing up for social housing in Norwich.
"We need to be holding councils to account to ensure they uphold their housing promises" - audience member
I try not to be angry about this all the time, but 4.5 years ago we had the opportunity to vote for a different reality, where public services were going to be funded better and things were going to be nationalised and affordable and the entire media class destroyed it
A dark day. But there is always hope. The Rwanda bill has been passed. Today we grieve, but tomorrow - along with the 500+ orgs of the Together With Refugees coalition - will continue to fight for something better.
The Rwanda bill has passed. What an evil, heartless country we are. Shame on the Tories, the Daily Mail, the bigots, the racists. You are the worst of us and I despise you with every inch of my body and soul.
What I’ve learned / had reinforced from this crazy few weeks: - fight for the people you love - defend the NHS at all costs - my friends and family are amazing - my husband is the bravest, strongest, hardest-fighting man I know - we should all know CPR
After raiding my wardrobe trying to find Saturday night attire for cocktails I realise I desperately need to do some clothes shopping. Sluts, where do you get your ethical slut drip from these days? Or am i going to have to make my own.
🚨Stop Scrolling! Let's pause & reflect a minute about what this shocking picture of @GretaThunberg 's arrest tells us about the current state of #climate politics. A short 🧵on some key lessons we can take from this image
When did the r-slur come back into everyone’s vocabulary stop it
feels like it tried to make a load of really interesting points about family, queerness, loneliness, the city etc and managed to make none of them?
I can see there's a bit of discourse around Train Guards ATM. I'm a Train Guard and operator, and I'd like to talk about a few instances I've been in. There is an instance I am due to appear in court over that happened last year so I'll have to be somewhat light with details 🧵
Book 8: I can’t believe it took me so long to read this? I really enjoyed it. I liked that it showed realistic female friendships and interactions, in all of their imperfect glory. It was easy to read and enjoyable.
📖2024 book thread📖 I read more than 2022 but less than I wanted in 2023 so… here we go again I guess? 25 books, let’s goooooo!
Well. I’m a bit emotional after the last 24 hours, bear with me.
JK Rowling is a good argument for pro-work socialism. If she wasn't so obscenely rich and instead had to work a four-day 9-5 job, she wouldn't have all this time to become an obsessively deranged loser. Her free evenings would be precious and spent on a hobby or something
The war machine must be shut down and its toxic influence removed from our festivals, art galleries, museums and cultural institutions immediately. There is no excuse for accepting arms trade blood money and allowing them to launder their reputations whilst Gaza burns.
Numerous artists including @Lambrini_Girls have pulled out of @sxsw festival due to its ties the arms trade. Their solidarity with the Palestinian people is to be applauded. We must extract the influence of the arms trade from our cultural institutions. nme.com/news/music/art…
