Social homes being auctioned off in Rochdale! 20,000 people are on housing waiting list and families are told there are “no properties available”. This is a housing crisis. Homes should house people, not be auctioned off #SaveSocialHousing #Rochdale #HousingCrisis

“This is a chance to do regeneration differently... that means using co-operative principles, so people feel genuinely involved in shaping the town’s future. Middleton deserves investment that works for its residents, not around them.” says @RoseMarley1. https://t.co/R5I79FVhzY

Greater Manchester's 2025–2035 Strategy sets out a bold vision for the next decade driven by new devolution powers, inclusive growth, and action on housing, transport, health & climate.

I’m proud to be representing Oldham on this document. ✊️

[Co-operatives UK @CooperativesUK]

👏Great stuff from Steve Coogan at #CoopCongress, talking about how feeling ‘politically homeless’ led him to co‑operativism and supporting @MiddCooperating, which is making a huge difference in its community!

[Middleton Tenants @MiddTenants]

Mould, leaks, rats — this is what @RiversideUK tenants are living with. We’ve reported it. We’ve waited. Still nothing.

We deserve safe homes. Fix it now. 🏚✊

[Middleton Tenants @MiddTenants]

Why wont @RiversideUK meet with us as a tenants union?

Tenants are living with mould, damp & rats! And we’ve come together to demand action.

Housing associations across the UK are working with unions. Why not Riverside?

#MiddletonTenantsUnion #RiversideHousing #HousingJustice

[Middleton Tenants @MiddTenants]

🏘 Middleton Tenants Union is here!

We’re standing up to mould, disrepair & being ignored.
Tenants deserve safe, dignified homes — and we’re stronger together. ✊

The final moments of this clip are extraordinary. What humanity and courage. "You don't ask the perpetrator of genocide their opinion on whether they are committing a genocide".
