If you saw the news yesterday that the government is introducing a new Community Right to Buy as part of their retitled 'English Devolution and Community Empowerment' Bill, and you're wondering what a Community Right to Buy is, we've got the lowdown here: locality.org.uk/what-is-comm...

Peter Hain says anti-apartheid campaigners would have been treated as terrorists under logic used to ban Palestine Action www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

"People who depend on cars to get around are more likely to feel lonely and disconnected than those who have access to good public transport, a UK study has found" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The use of the Terrorism Act to proscribe Palestine Action is disproportionate and sets a dangerous precedent.

No protective ring around care homes. BBC News - Covid inquiry begins examination of impact on social care sector - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

England council tax arrears hit £6.6bn. Bills rising at inflation-busting rates, central govt funding cut. Services cut. Nearly 70% of council budget goes to social care, should be centrally funded. Useless council tax bands - rich pay lower proportion of income in tax than the poor.

Passionate words from @elliechowns.bsky.social on why the Green Party has never been closer to breakthrough.. and why we've never been more needed. Oh, and why she and @adrianramsay.bsky.social would make brilliant co-leaders to get us there 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Dozens more Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza while trying to access food. Hundreds have been killed or injured in similar incidents. We must keep our eyes on the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and pressure our government to stop arming Israel now.

Tonight at Pensions committe I had it confirmed that the Merseyside Pension Fund has divested from Lockheed Martin. This is due to its involvement in the production of cluster munitions. A small win but it shows divestment is possible @greenparty.org.uk

This week the Council moved a step closer to approving new homes and employment sites, based on new government targets. @annemiekewaite.bsky.social, as cabinet member for both Planning and Environment, has pledged to work hard to ensure that the homes that are built are affordable and sustainable.

Fact of the day: the government could raise 5x more by taxing extreme wealth than it hopes to save through these cuts.

British decline in one story. Any state which finds itself incapable of managing a project as basic as rolling out a 20th century tech between its biggest cities needs to ask itself some profound questions about what hope it has of managing the technologies of the 21st.

Brilliant news: High Court has ruled the cumulative impact of factory farms must be taken into account when considering planning applications. A huge victory for River Action & everyone who cares about restoring our rivers!🐟 Congratulations to Alison Caffyn & all who supported this landmark case.👏

Contrary to media reports after the 2025 local elections, there was no Reform UK landslide, just an outdated voting system that needs reforming.

Just half of GM’s residents feel it is safe for children to walk to school – and just 42% believe it is safe to cycle. Great to see this commitment to make travel safer & more child-friendly from TfGM: - going from 37 to 60 school streets in next year - targeting 100 school streets by 2028
