The Teeswork Freeport corruption in short.
2 businessmen paid £110 for a £100m site.
We paid £462m to clean it up they paid nothing
They made £100m selling scrap metal from clean up, we received nothing.
Michael Gove covers it up.

The decline of the left is not down to comms, image or marketing. It's down to the left not providing food for the hungry, evening classes, care for the vulnerable etc.

Brilliant work here from @greenparty.org.uk London Assembly member @zoegarbett.bsky.social - pushing Labour politicians locally and nationally to take action on the cost of rent crisis through a range of short term and longer term measures 👏
69% of Londoners support some form of rent control.
In 2019, the Mayor of London said he'd do a Rent Commission - he hasn't, so I did.
Read all about what my expert panel think should happen next 👇

This is a very good leading article about class and inequality. I would just add that we need not be bound by our backgrounds.
My parents were upper-middle class (quite posh). But I want a far more equal society, where the rich have less and the poor have more.

Stuck at home for 64 days because of a broken lift!
Relieved to be in hospital as it was accessible!
So many stories of injustice shared by disabled Londoners due to lack of accessible homes.

Unfortunately UNISON’s National Black Members Conference, due to take place this weekend in Llandudno, has been postponed.
A burst water main in the local vicinity has meant hotels have closed and they are unable to accept delegates.
