A year ago I left this website, partly because of how racist it had got, but also because I was warned people in the Labour Party wanted to block me from re-running as a councillor (because I’m leftwing). A project built on fear and cronyism was always going to end this way.

South Asian solidarity during the Miners' Strike.

Here's a food collection leaflet in Urdu and Punjabi that was distributed across Birmingham.

Street collections on Soho Road in Handsworth were known to be amongst the best supported & miners squabbled over who got that 'patch.'

1/21 Amid such bleak news from Birmingham here’s a more detailed look at something distinctive about it - its legacy of inter-war art deco private flats. No other UK city outside London has so many, and there are virtually none in the obvious peers like Leeds and Manchester.

Tonight @localsolutions Big SleepOut is taking place at Liverpool Cricket Ground.

Every penny raised will support our homeless provision and take us one step closer to achieving our vision of ending homelessness.

✍️ Myself & @_RuthieB_ have been campaigning to protect the Household Support Fund

💷 It has enabled us to help 330,000 residents with food, fuel and other emergency costs over 3 years

📢 The fund must be extended beyond March 2024 in @Jeremy_Hunt's budget on Wednesday

Thread 🧵

Next week we are bringing our budget proposals to full council. Our proposals include an additional £3.5m for children's services, rising to £4.8m from 2025/26 (1/5)

[Sarah Doyle @srcdoyle]

@liamrobinson24 and I have consistently lobbied government against policy which is feeding this homelessness crisis. We need no fault evictions banned, LHA to reflect market rents, and investment in social house building. We still await a response from the minister.

[Sarah Doyle @srcdoyle]

Homelessness statics published today are a damming indictment of government failure. A record number 109,000 households in temporary accommodation.

Despite challenging financial circumstances, @LiverpoolLabour budget has committed to investing £14.2m in homeless services.

[Sarah Doyle @srcdoyle]

Last year we opened an emergency hub to protect rough sleepers. I’m proud @LiverpoolLabour budget increases funding for homelessness prevention and protection.

Real prevention means people will face less risk and we can invest money into future plans to build council houses.

[Liverpool City Council @lpoolcouncil]

#Video: With #homelessness & #roughsleeping on the rise in the UK, #Liverpool has put in a number of measures to help those affected.

This includes an assessment centre for those found to be newly rough sleeping.

New research underlines the strong case for social housing, with £31.4bn in wider benefits to society inc:

· £5.2bn savings to the NHS
· £4.5bn savings to homelessness services
· £2.7bn savings due to fewer disruptions to education

& this is only a starting point of 90k builds

[Sarah Doyle @srcdoyle]

@Liverpoolshell Thank you Michelle! Thank you to you and your team for being there for those who need it!

🚨New social housing sales/demolition figs today🚨

27,616 social homes sold/demolished in 2022/23. Of that, 10,896 were Right to Buy sales, again outstripping supply of social rent homes (9,561). Every year since 2013/14, more social homes have been sold under RTB than built (1)
