@right-here.org launched their Museum of Broken Dreams exhibition in Parliament this week. Its about hope and its and a time capsule of what could have been... think Sliding Doors but community power not Gwyneth Paltrow. www.themj.co.uk/museum-shoul...

It’s been 10 years since community appeared in a Bill's title in UK law. It's the first time the word empowerment has ever been used. Watch the introduction of the new English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill, featuring the Community Right to Buy.

"If we accept that our democracy is in poor health, then we need to look at different ways of reviving it." Great piece from my colleague Linda at @powertochange.org.uk for @lsepoliticsblog.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

Yesterday I visited the brilliant Victoria Hall in Settle, North Yorkshire – a community-run venue that's just turned 170! With @coopparty.party.coop and Mayor David Skaith. The town also boasts a community-owned pool and hydro scheme. Settle shows what’s possible when communities lead. 🌊🏛️

A brilliant new report from my colleagues at Power to Change, great reading for anyone wondering - this week especially - how to reset the relationship between people and politics

Following her excellent adjournment debate, @paulettehamiltonmp.bsky.social has penned a brilliant article on the contribution of community business @wittonlodge.bsky.social to her constituency: parliamentnews.co.uk/by-investing...
