Carlton & Granville have served South Kilburn for 100+ years. They are now under threat. Brent Council’s plan involves a 72% loss in community space. #savecg
Deadline to submit your objection has passed but we’re still applying the pressure. You can read all the online submissions via Brent’s planning portal but see our THREAD for a few of the main submissions made! 👊🏼
Absolutely appalling, we must not institutionalise foodbanks even further. It’s not what the @TrussellTrust wants, it’s not what @IFAN_UK wants. It isn’t what anybody wants. It isn’t how we should be dealing with poverty.
The government has long been accused of normalising food banks instead of cutting poverty. Now they're telling councils to direct low-income families to them this winter. @IFAN_UK https://t.co/CAMq8ldCQP
The Household Support Fund is not only a totally inadequate replacement for the £20 a week cut from #UniversalCredit but, as @IFAN_UK's @sabineegoodwin says in this @BigIssue piece, it implies short-term fixes such as food aid can address systemic problems https://t.co/OF35uZ2BzT
The rich have refused to do their fair share. You have turned your backs on the poorest who face a crisis of Covid, economic and climate apartheid, because of the actions of the richest.

@US_Center The level of discrimination experienced today by myself a Black disabled woman representing a farmers union and whose voice should be in the room is unacceptable! Not only was I denied entry but observed older white males accessing the event at side and not through the
Brilliant panel on food justice and climate justice today. Messages on aligning local movements, dismantling emergency food culture, improving public procurement, community agency over land use. #Recipes4Resilience#cop26#Right2food Give all the folks here a follow! 👇
Redistributed surplus food can be part of the problem. Our food system is broken, redistributed surplus food is a plaster on a systemic issue! Graphic from @IFAN_UK

I am calling on the wealthy nations of the world to fufil their promise to compensate the main victims of ecocide, and to immediately cancel the LDCs' growing debt burden.

“We must be at the centre of decisions that happen here.”
On Youth Day at #COP26, we look back at a week where young people have made their voices heard in the Blue Zone and beyond.
Today and everyday, we hear their call for #ClimateAction.
"It's essential that the sum cut from Universal Credit is reinstated and added to legacy benefits in the Autumn Budget on Wednesday. Expecting food banks to pick up the pieces with unsustainable food supplies won't address the underlying problem of poverty." #KeepTheLifeline
On 6 Oct the Government took £20 a week from the pockets of six million low-income families, cutting their incomes by up to a fifth as cost of living is set to soar.
This is unacceptable.
We asked you to text us why @RishiSunak must reverse this cut. This is what you said.
The housing waiting list is being used to guilt estates into accepting estate-killing infilling and Grenfell-like rooftop developments.
If the situation is so desperate why is @SouthwarkLabour building private luxury homes on public land?
So if we don’t get government funding, I need to find a spare £66k to pay for the failings in the building I lease a 1 bed apt in. I don’t own it, didn’t build it, didn’t sign off on it not being to spec, but sure I’ll pay the £66k! #BuildingSafetyCrisis
"It's time for governments to recognise our agency, to listen to us. Young people are a powerful social & economic force in the shift towards sustainable & holistic #foodsystems," said @giuliasimula, CSM youth working group member citing @hlpe_cfs report 👉https://t.co/tFPlKtWE7t
