Sadiq’s dagger to the heart of West London’s poorest communities - double-crossing and fast-tracking gentrification of one of London’s oldest street markets. Sadiq gave off-shore multi-billion developers 3 years to work up plans - but just a 6 hour window for objections. Shameful

Labour's plans to deregulate planning processes will further open up Britain to the property developers who have already caused so much damage to the country — and do little to help those at the sharp end of the housing crisis. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/07/der…

my heart is with my former colleagues @SociologyGold & other departs today where redundancy notices have been sent. It makes no sense to take a wrecking ball to the most vibrant & innovative intellectual community I have come across in order to cover mismanagement

"Divide & conquer" is a favorite game of our council officers, although it becomes less successful each time it's exposed. It's only worked very patchily on @SaveCressingham, & only a little more successfully on Lambeth's other "regeneration" estates.

Sitting is not a crime. Resting is not a crime. Sleeping is not a crime. Camping is not a crime. Being poor is not a crime. Needing help is not a crime. Homelessness is not a crime, it’s a policy failure.

Powerful essay by Adam Shatz: 'The belief that the best way of honouring the memory of those who died in Auschwitz is to condone the mass killing of Palestinians so that Israeli Jews can feel safe again is one of the great moral perversions of our time' lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/n12/…

So nice to see the plaque to commemorate James Baldwin’s visit to the old Hackney CLR James Library without a politician in the frame. A fab old time community event. I was so happy to help with the celebration.
