Andy Burnham says he wants to end 40 years of neoliberalism.
But even if he becomes prime minister, the Labour Party is running out of time to show it’s on the side of working-class communities. jacobin.com/2026/06/uk-burnh…

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.

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)
@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.
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.
#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.

Alongside investing in our homelessness strategy and
designating more sites for social housing, we will reduce the amount we spend on hotels and B&Bs. Making sure more people are out of temporary accommodation and back into long term homes.

@LiverpoolLabour also proposes to maximise the council tax charge on empty properties and invest this money back into homelessness services - careless property owners will be forced to bring homes back into use or pay 300% additional council tax.
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.

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
