This looks interesting - sharing and (apols) tagging a few people I think may be in/work with/know of relevant local community orgs that could be involved @PatelYak@Alistair1965@AliP_LA1@LizziCollinge @GreenPartyJack
Starting 24 Jan 2024 for 8 evening sessions, you'll be part of a coworking group taking community knowledge to impact local gov systems.
10 participants will receive £500 and can apply for a larger grant to work with their local groups. Find out more: https://t.co/pLa3MHfXGo
🚨BREAKING: POSTAL WORKERS HAVE MADE HISTORY
CWU members in Royal Mail Group have delivered the biggest ever return in a major national strike ballot.
YES 95.9%
TURNOUT 77.3%
Simply stunning.
#WeAreStillHere
Postal workers represented by @CWUnews have voted to strike by a historic margin.
96% of those voting backed the strike, meaning that 74% of eligible members supported the proposal to strike.
Tomorrow @RishiSunak will launch an all out attack on the right to strike.
RT if you stand with every single union that chooses to make a stand and fight on behalf of their members.
It’s time to pick a side.
@unitedutilities I’m in LA1. Water off since around 10:30pm last night (apart from short window this am). Local shops short of bottled water. Can you give estimate of when supply will be restored, or how you will distribute bottled water, please.
Time for a new adventure! Just now, I’m the most easterly person on UK soil (accompanied by the UK’s most easterly crocheted turtle), at Lowestoft Ness, 1°45'49 east of Greenwich. Obviously, tomorrow morning, we begin a multi-day odyssey to the UK’s most westerly bus stop #GoWest
