In the #SpringStatement today, the Chancellor could have set out the pro-equality, tax-reforming strategy required to make good on the government’s promise of change.

An enormous opportunity has just been squandered - and the right are the ones who will benefit.

Fantastic coffee morning yesterday with Polly Toynbee and Stuart Lansley. Both on top form and the subject right on topic. How will we pay for the renewal we so desperately need? The room was packed and the discussions vibrant and informative.

Yes, terrific day. Standing room only in the afternoon!

Looking forward to joining my @bhcompass1.bsky.social and other Compass folk at our AGM this Saturday for celebrations and important conversations.

On a #StormySunday, what better way to spend the day than browsing through the latest articles in @sussexbylines.bsky.social? From #landuse to #healingthroughnature, to the problem of loneliness in the single elderly, our writers cover a wide range of topics.

Great session last Saturday with Compass Director, Neal Lawson, exploring how we should think, feel and act ‘After the Riots’. Profound stuff and the good crowd enjoyed it. Thanks Neal.

Exciting session tomorrow with Neal Lawson at Cornerstone in Brighton. : “After the Riots - Causes, Impact and Solutions”. Join us for progressive politics and a good cup of coffee! www.bhcompass.org.uk

Exciting meeting coming up on Saturday. Very topical and should be great and hopefully well attended.

More on our programme of coffee mornings. We’ve got Compass supremo Neal Lawson for 16 November to speak on what happens ‘After the riots’. Sian Berry MP is lined up for 25 January (topic to be decided) and Polly Toynbee for March 22. An exciting programme though. Watch this space

Kicking off the new season, we had a great Steering Group meeting today. We started to firm up our programme of coffee mornings for the next six months and began thinking about our contribution to the Compass HQ new strategy meeting on 23rd October. Watch this space. There will be a lot to say.

Brighton and Hove Compass here, broadcasting for the first time on Bluesky. We’ve left the other place. Our account is still there but we won’t be using it. Apparently after 12 months it will terminate itself. Fine with us. Onwards and upwards. More very soon on our programme of autumn events.
