Watch their video and you'll see why I'm excited...

We love Hackney, but it needs to work for all of us.

Rising rents. Mouldy homes. Foodbanks.

Zoë Garbett is running Mayor of Hackney to change that - with Dylan as Deputy.

But we need YOU.

A “worst-case scenario” famine is unfolding in Gaza according to experts.

The World Food Programme says Gaza needs to be flooded with 'large-scale food aid' to “prevent mass starvation”.

Now is the time for the UK government, and others, to ACT. There is no more time to waste.

A decent home should be the baseline, not the exception.

No one should be worried about eviction just for asking for a working boiler or a mould-free home. Landlord licensing is an essential tool to hold landlords to a higher standard.

Cllr @zoegarbett.bsky.social also pushed the Mayor on what she's done to push for rent controls. The speaker didn't allow a supplementary question about why the deputy mayor has failed to respond to the concerns about disrepair at Fellows Court that affects private renters.

Councillor @liamzud.bsky.social pushed the cabinet member on the lack of grassroots community engagement on the council's Youth Justice Plan and highlighted the significant exclusion on the needs of young people with SEND, and how there are intersectional needs in the youth justice space.

🫠 Jon Cunliffe's review into the water sector deliberately left out the option of public ownership.

💸 The only way to stop millions of pounds being siphoned off for huge CEO salaries and shareholder dividends is to end the scam of privatised water.

🤝 Public ownership now.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.
PRIVATISED WATER IS A SCAM

The proscription of Palestine Action is absurd in the face of this government’s straightforward collaboration with the genocide in Gaza.

They are terrified of how many people are taking to the streets every week in opposition.

This is exactly why we need to keep pushing.

Stop scapegoating migrants.

Once responsible for housing in this country, he could have built more social homes, ended right to buy, brought in rent controls...

The housing system needs a total rethink to become centred on providing truly affordable homes & not landlord profits.

Robert Jenrick claimed on X that mass migration is solely responsible for record-high rents. Here's what he's not telling you.

Is Robert Jenrick right to say mass migration is causing record-high rents?

We welcome the overdue judgment on the assault on Child Q.

But, we are deeply concerned that the misconduct panel did not uphold the Director General’s findings of racism and adultification.
