No one writes ballads about 'Governance', but picking the right structure is key to the success of community projects. Our last Skillshare explored how to set up empowering governance including a super overview of your options from @CoopsMark Watch back: youtu.be/vagkeJdPuOk?feature…
A graphic of two jam jars. The one of the left is empty - it's labelled 'Legal Form' with examples: company, society, partnership etc. The one on the left is full of what looks like honey, and labelled 'Organisational type' with examples: Co-operative, social enterprise, community business, Not for profit, B corp, Land Trust, etc. An extract from Mark Simmonds presentation during the skillshare, viewable at the link.

🔥Superb point from @NaomiAKlein Labour are making no sudden moves that may spook their GE chances- but if they *do* keep the tight economic straitjackets of the last govt (Brexit included btw)… …they risk the Scholz error, teeing up a far right surge.

Starmer’s claim ‘I will make wealth’ is insulting All of us who work actually create the wealth The problem is we don’t get our fair share That’s why we need a wealth tax and a 10:1 maximum pay differential For a Fairer, Greener Economy #VoteGreen #RealHopeRealChange

Michael Wheeler sat on the three person panel that blocked @faizashaheen for liking perfectly reasonable tweets. Faiza’s baby cried throughout (she had been given only hours notice of the meeting that decided her fate). Michael had his camera off as he was “out and about”. Two days later he’s parachuted into a seat of his own. Do you want these people running the country?

Why am I standing to be the Green MP for Birkenhead? Because I believe Birkenhead Deserves Better. Birkenhead deserves an MP that puts Birkenhead first. That rebuilds our town centre, that votes FOR ceasefire and offers practical solutions to injustice. Only the Greens have got the policies for a fairer, greener country. We would insulate our homes, phase out all fossil fuels, nationalise water and energy, and tax the super-rich to pay for our NHS. jobird.net/2024/perfect-stor…
