Wish I could fit a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen in that rent-free space. Guess we'll have to abolish landlords instead.

I’ve had a fantastic time in Bournemouth with the @cambsgreenparty.bsky.social for the @greenparty.org.uk’s Autumn Conference 💚 I was particularly happy to see us cement ourselves as THE leading left-wing party by confirming our commitment to creating a society without private landlords 💚

There are good landlords and there are bad landlords, but I would prefer it if there weren’t landlords at all 🏡 I sympathise that in our tough economy people have to make money somehow, but landlords use their lucky position to profit off of others’ inability to afford a home.

We demand a Bailiff Free Britain!!

ACORN the union @acornunion.bsky.social · 29d

NEW CAMPAIGN 🚨

Right now, people are pushed into poverty when councils send in bailiffs for council tax debt.

But there’s another way.

Together, we can stop this. Together, we can have dignity not debt. Together, we can make Britain Bailiff Free👇

I've been disenchanted by party politics over the last few years but listening to the Zack Polanski interviews this morning I decided 'why the hell not'.
Labour have so willingly dragged the overton window to the right that is vital to get behind genuinely left platforms

I didn't vote for a podcaster to lead the party, might have to cancel my membership now

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · Sep 3

Leading a political party means leading the political conversation - being available and being heard on the platforms people actually use.

Join me every Wednesday on my new podcast: Bold Politics.

The only podcast led by a current party leader in the UK. Link in bio.

ACORN Union’s first national convention featured workshops on recruitment, leadership, housing rights, and communications, and included an eviction resistance role-play, culminating in the launch of their Bailiffs Out of Britain campaign.

Only half as many goals as last season, disappointing

ACORN Preston and Sheffield joined forces at Places for People offices to stop an eviction. Members secured a meeting with leadership and ensured tenant issues will be fully investigated. Solidarity wins!

Landlords rely on renters staying quiet when they steal your deposit. ACORN members don’t.

We’ve clawed back hundreds of stolen deposits from landlords who think they’re untouchable. They’re not.

Join ACORN. Take what’s yours.

I was born at the Rosie, I'm under both dermatology and gastro departments as an outpatient. My uncle had two stays here in the last month. My mum and nan are frequent patients. Our local hospitals mean a lot to me, it's the tireless staff that make them what they are. They deserve a fair wage!

Lewis Jordan @jaws.uk · Jul 25

Pay restoration for resident doctors now! So proud to stand in solidarity at the Addenbrooke's picket line today (see following post). Stay cool and stay strong! ✊ #PayRestoration @bma.org.uk

I hold up a sign (borrowed from a kind comrade) that says "As a patient I support striking doctors", while flanked by striking resident doctors, looking splendid in their orange BMA hats. We are stood on a hot, sunny picket line outside the Cambridge University Hospitals (Addenbrooke's).

Some nerve from the ECB, wrapping the progress pride flag round the base of the stumps at the test match, not eight weeks since banning trans women from women's cricket 🤬

Ben Duckett fishes at a wide one outside off at Headingley. The progress pride flag adorns the base of the stumps he is defending.
