Social homes being auctioned off in Rochdale! 20,000 people are on housing waiting list and families are told there are “no properties available”. This is a housing crisis. Homes should house people, not be auctioned off #SaveSocialHousing #Rochdale #HousingCrisis

“This is a chance to do regeneration differently... that means using co-operative principles, so people feel genuinely involved in shaping the town’s future. Middleton deserves investment that works for its residents, not around them.” says @RoseMarley1. buff.ly/d9rKvse

Here's Steve chatting about why the Middleton MDC is so important:

👏Great stuff from Steve Coogan at #CoopCongress, talking about how feeling ‘politically homeless’ led him to co‑operativism and supporting @MiddCooperating, which is making a huge difference in its community!

Mould, leaks, rats — this is what @RiversideUK tenants are living with. We’ve reported it. We’ve waited. Still nothing.
We deserve safe homes. Fix it now. 🏚✊

Why wont @RiversideUK meet with us as a tenants union?
Tenants are living with mould, damp & rats! And we’ve come together to demand action.
Housing associations across the UK are working with unions. Why not Riverside?

The final moments of this clip are extraordinary. What humanity and courage. "You don't ask the perpetrator of genocide their opinion on whether they are committing a genocide".
Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr @Tanyaalih for your courage, passion and eloquence.
Watch EVERY MINUTE of this extraordinary interview about the grotesque murder of 9 siblings in Gaza.

When a meeting starts with bear hugs, homemade fruit cake and a food based check-in question I know it’s gonna be a good conversation.
One of today’s highlights was meeting with this wonderful group of people to talk about their proposals for a Greater Manchester Living Income pilot.
I was right, the conversation was as rich and tasty as the fruit cake and as reassuring as the hugs.
This really is the place and the people who are drawn or born here are phenomenal. Thanks for the invite.❤️
