The current housing model, dominated by market conditions, is unsustainable. More and more people are unable to afford to rent, let alone buy. Leasehold must be abolished. High quality, affordable council housing is the main answer to this tragic mess.

Privatisation in a nutshell. This is what the Tories want to do to the whole public sector. In brief, hand it over to people who are full of shit.

Why we need unions in a nutshell. Too many bosses, and their workplace side-kicks, want to bully rather than support and encourage staff. Some use overtly bullying methods like the headteacher in this appalling case. Others are more subtle and underhand. tinyurl.com/2hrzuzbf

There will be a lot of people, for understandable reasons, concerned about Starmer, Reeves et al. But Labour is more than its leadership. Only Labour can beat the Tories. It's up to Labour members, the unions and organised labour to take on Starmer & democratise the movement.

Indeed, better to hear from teachers and support staff than CEOs when writing about what's going on, or needs to go on, in schools

This is truly heartbreaking news. Agnes was all you say Vicky Blake UCU @vickyblake.bsky.social. She was a calming person who brought people together and was always on the side of the oppressed. She will be missed so much here in Nottingham. RIP Agnes Flues ❤️✊

Imagine if France & Britain had provided arms to defend the Spanish Republic in 1936. What response would have greeted any left organisation demanding that this be stopped as it was ‘prolonging the conflict’? Derision and incomprehension in equal measure. Stop the War is a disgrace.

“Germany is overwhelmed, Germany doesn’t have any more room, Germany is no longer prepared to be destination number one”. To be clear, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - left wing about Sahra Wagenknecht. theguardian.com/world/2024/sep…
