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.

Anyone else moving to @bluesky after the #hitlersalute ?

[Daniel Mackintosh @mckdnl]

. @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.

[Daniel Mackintosh @mckdnl]

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.

[Daniel Mackintosh @mckdnl]

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.

[Daniel Mackintosh @mckdnl]

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.

@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!

[Daniel Mackintosh @mckdnl]

Thoughtful analysis.

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

It feels harder to publicise the miracle this year ... #Channukah2023

[Daniel Mackintosh @mckdnl]

@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.

[Citizens UK @CitizensUK]

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

[Daniel Mackintosh @mckdnl]

A more equal and prosperous UK is possible.

[Daniel Mackintosh @mckdnl]

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
