As a chance to remind myself and share, for the next 8 working days, I am going to write 2 criteria 'cutting an organising issue' to act on from Aaron Shultz's #organising course.
. @IcelandFoods - this van, while driving in Southwark, just swerved almost hitting an oncoming car& came very close to me as a pedestrian. Just pulled up to stop on a yellow line on wrong side of road. Driver got out and I was going to say something but they were v aggressive.
Both are total bollocks.
These riots are being fueled by underinvestment in poor communities, racism and fear stoked by people who want to pit relatively powerless people against one another.
A different way, of building people power to win real change for all, is possible.
Hate to break it to some antisemitic conspiracy theorists of the left and right (classic antisemitism to be blamed by both sides). But the Jews are not responsible for the UK race riots.
Some lefty conspiracists saying we are trying to attack Muslim and minority communities through proxies by whipping up racist hatred.
And right wing conspiracists saying that we are the ones driving mass immigration as the architects of the 'great replacement'.
All year round, our health is at risk because of our poorly insulated homes.
That’s why we’re calling on the next Government to deliver a strategy to make our homes safe and healthy whilst not costing the earth.

.@UPPAbaby - just a huge shout out to the team in the UK. Had an issue with my pram and you all sorted it in 3 days flat!! Now my 2 little ones can enjoy their time together while snug in their Vista 2!
@thebodycoach - have really loved Leroy workouts. He brings a sense of camp fun that is very refreshing when I am sweating like an animal. Thank you Leroy!
Outside city hall with @tomcopley presenting @citizens_london housing proposals for London:
Commit to community led housing
Tackle bad landlords by standardising landlord licensing schemes across London
Identify & implement a pilot retrofit & upgrade site in every borough
@AmandaTatts @sebchapleau We have work to do!! But I am taking 4 months of paternity leave, so thereafter!! I will have the beginning of a strategy by then and would love to get your critique.
As the holidays approach and we look forward to time with loved ones, let’s remember our care workers who will continue delivering vital support. 🙏🏾 They deserve a real #LivingWage now and all year round.
We stand with care workers, do you? 🤝🏾 https://t.co/0IxCCJ0wIH
Here is a radical idea to improve the position of care workers in the UK.
The government should pay all care workers the #RealLivingWage.
That will help to draw new people into this vital area and help retain them.
We are incredibly concerned at reports of Havering Council cancelling a planned lighting of a Hanukkah Menorah.
We stand ready to offer our support to our Jewish brother and sisters who feel threatened and afraid.

Brilliant to see @peterboroughcuk leading the way to drive forward and secure more genuinely affordable housing in #Peterborough as the demand for housing sees 350 children in temporary homes
