#TransportForLondon, you spent years & millions to redevelop #OldStreet station - was it really impossible to make it more accessible?! Only one lift-and it’s out of order. No option other than steps to get to the ticket hall. Surely in this day & age we should be designing accessible stations.

Good to see #TechSovreignity front and centre at #CoopCongress. The #coop movement needs to be bolder and braver in controlling its own tech. We have the resources. We just need to channel them appropriately.

And #CoopCongress2025 has started! In the incredibly beautiful Rochdale Town hall.

It was great to participate in this event on #Platformcoop & #fairwork. It was lovely to connect with new and old faces and discuss very concrete aspects of platform work. Thanks to @oii.ox.ac.uk for hosting us and @stefanotortorici.bsky.social for bringing us together.

Very curious to hear the views of the panellists of this next session at #StongerThings on “How to embed community power in your digital, data and AI strategy.”

I’ve been a campaigner on #debt for many years, as I see it as emblematic of the power dynamics of capitalism. So it’s been interesting to find out in recent years that the early #coop movement was so strongly opposed to personal debt and believed it had a role to play in educating people about it.

I’m doing a bit of reading on the history of #coops. Interesting to see that initially the #RochdalePioneers limited their membership to 250 members to ensure democratic participation. Fits well with #DunbarNumber theory.
