So I went to catch up with Spicys. Chaired a check-in, got a demonstration of how to fold a 8- sided zine, and made a physical one. Then, as I went to pick up my bag from the locker... The experience became a zine

SHAC in the News Thanks @gabrieldmorris.bsky.social for inviting SHAC to comment. kentlive.news/news/kent-ne... An appalling situation to be in - a terrible worry for Nina. As we highlight, the system for allocating social housing is brutal & far removed from what it once represented.

Such a brilliant and inspiring meeting of tenants and residents from Peabody mostly across London. Re building communities whilst dealing with mould, £££££ charges and much more. Worth a watch and share. CapRentsNotBenefits

Labour launches attack on disabled people 🔴 We need spending on welfare not warfare 🔴 Make the super-rich pay not disabled people www.socialistparty.org.uk/articles/136...

Helen Steel & Dave Morris exposing the former undercover officer Bob Lambert when he was speaking at a conference at TUC HQ, Congress House ITV doing more to expose the #spycops inquiry than 10 years of the public inquiry. @out_of_lives (@DaveBlacklist)

We've asked the National Audit Office to investigate a lack of checks on service charge payments to landlords through the benefits system. We know that systematic overcharging is embedded in the system. #ShacAction labourhub.org.uk/2025/03/05/2...

The frontline of housing has become a battleground. @shacaction.bsky.social C is empowering communities to fight housing injustice. SHAC member Jakia shares her struggle with Tower Hamlets Homes over unfair service charges. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFdl...

If you haven't already done so, don't forget to take our survey on housing and the workplace! It's completely anonymous & asks about the impact of rising rents, as well as illness & injury caused by bad housing, leading to absence. Please take the survey now: shaction.org/housing-in-t...

100 spied-on individuals & groups have told the #spycops public inquiry they won't be giving evidence unless they're given more time. The Inquiry's delayed its next hearings by 7 months yet is keeping witnesses to earlier impossible deadlines campaignopposingpolicesurveillance.com/2025/03/10/t...

This is especially catastrophic for people living in substandard housing. The health impact of poorly heated homes will exacerbate ill health caused by mould and damp. It is obscene that this is happening in such a rich country, and obscene that the Winter Fuel Allowance was cut.

Thanks @jonungoedthomas.bsky.social & Guardian for quoting SHAC & highlighting how service charges are kept artificially low at point of sale, then skyrocket after, pricing people out of their homes. We're working with PILC to expose & #EndServiceChargeAbuse. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Helen Steel was 22 when she fell in love with John Barker. Except he wasn't real - he was actually Special Demonstration Squad #spycops officer John Dines who'd stolen the identity of a boy who'd died of leukaemia aged 8. inews.co.uk/culture/tele...

Thx @insidehousing.bsky.social & @sdelahunty.bsky.social. Landlords service charge income up 15% last year ➕ Tribunals found service charge accounts riddled with overcharges in 72% of cases 🟰 A powerful story about systematic fleecing. www.insidehousing.co.uk/news/more-th...

Thank you to Surrey Unison - the data will help reveal what is very often a hidden problem, with sickness absence for example capturing the presenting illness, for example asthma, but not that this has been caused by mould and damp in the home. #ShacAction

The impact of bad housing in our workplaces is often hidden but is the root cause of sickness absence, debt, and poor performance. We want to expose all that & have launched a Workplace Impact Survey. Please fill it out & circulate in your networks. shaction.org/housing-in-t...
