Now who lives in a house like this?

Don't have time or space for discussion of this year's Tenant Satisfaction* Measures, but someone took this and whatsapp'd it to me on Friday. I think we have a local Sovereign Network Group culture problem.

Ah, the good old days are back @oxfamgb.bsky.social

I still enjoy playing No Man's Sky from time to time.

There are so many reasons that social housing is the greatest tenure, but one of them is definitely the weekly rent.

History buffs will remember the framing of welfare spending as a burden on hardworking taxpayers the last time there was a nazi government

I am here all day for resisting fascism, but the overlaps with trying to raise a complaint with a council/housing association landlord are stark in places.

Hell if I know why the picture isn't coming up. Plastic fash.

Jan/Feb 2017 I think - "Form Follows Function". A structured, comprehensive guide to doing mergers and other takeovers for housing associations without ignoring residents. Promptly ignored in almost all mergers since, where 'not going bankrupt' has sometimes been the overriding ethos.

Finally shamed into clearing off some of my mess/essential documents on the Chaise Longue of Doom. I have reached the strata where I was, relatively speaking, out and about doing housing stuff. October 2017, Ministerial Roadshow, York. I have kept the Post-It notes because they got me in trouble.

My old man had a CX Reflex - trying to remember what year but must've been 83/84ish.

This was before @itvnews.bsky.social's investigations. Here is a definitely-don't-share-this document from DCLG (now MHCLG again) officials on future regulation from 2019, where most of the changes that eventually came out in 2024 were detailed.

What are those ticks and crosses? You may ask >
