We are having a little @redecentralize reunion!! I know. It's been over 10 years since we started redecentralize.org and a lot has happened since then. So if you're in London on Wed 30th Oct, come by and say hello and join the reminiscing redecentralize.org/events/20…

Awful scam. Keep your eyes open everyone

Enjoying Audrey Tang talking about the Tao ☺️

RT @labourlewis: To be sworn in as an MP, you have to make an oath to the King. This is what I decided to say, in protest. t.co/5J…

It's all in here: how to ensure housing meets everyone's needs without destroying vast tracts of countryside. Our report for the Labour Party in 2019. It's crucial that the structure and incentives of the housing sector are radically changed. landforthemany.uk/

Do you, or someone you know of, have a negative view of Verifiable Credentials? I don't mean the specifics of the tech, especially signing methods, I mean the overall concept. Supporters are easy to find. I'm looking for a detractor. Thanks

At mySociety, we're all about making #democracy easier to understand, and easier to play a part in. With a brand new government in place, here's how to make sure you're fully informed: mysociety.org/2024/07/04/the… #generalelection #GE24

This was an election where the Tories lost more than Labour won. I wish Keir Starmer luck and hope his government does good things and keeps in mind the progressive policies that won the Greens 4 seats, the Independents seats and got Corbyn those votes

If you've just joined us, Labour has achieved a landslide with less votes than it won in 2019. Which you'll recall was so bad that the then leader unfortunately had to be expelled from the parliamentary party.

While I'm delighted to see the back of the Tories, this election should remind us that our electoral system is not fit for purpose. It should not be possible to achieve a massive majority on a minority of the vote.

What a night! I couldn’t be more proud of our 4 new @TheGreenParty MPs. And what strikes me most is that every single vote they won was a vote not for the least worst option, but a positive joyful vote for real hope & change 💚 @carla_denyer @AdrianRamsay @sianberry @EllieChowns

Denver gave homeless people $1,000 a month, no strings attached. A year later: *45% secured housing *Taxpayers saved $590k because of fewer visits to the hospital, jail and shelters *People used the money on groceries, rent, hygiene, clothes and transportation *Mental health improved and they could spend more time with their kids and grandkids Amazing what happens when you give people a chance

Today, Netanyahu put out a video attacking the U.S. for not sending him bombs fast enough. Let’s be clear: His right wing, extremist government has killed 37,000 Palestinians. The U.S. should withhold all offensive military aid to Israel and demand an end to this war.

I wonder what the pattern is? 🤔 - No10 Boris parties during lockdown - Hancock gives covid contracts to his mates (and the not so socially distanced kissing) - Sunak's staff using privileged knowledge to win money - Owen Patterson breaching lobbying rules It's almost as if ...

This is great - and actually made me laugh 🙏

The ICC is right: Putin is a war criminal. Sinwar is a war criminal. Netanyahu is a war criminal. They should all be held to account.

Using starvation as a weapon is a war crime. We know that children in Gaza are dying of malnutrition. As long as Israel continues to prevent aid groups and journalists from entering the most desperate areas of Gaza, we will not know the full extent of the famine there.

Great talk and I can't believe I hadn't seen cape.mysociety.org before! UK database of Council climate action plans - am now investigating how well Haringey is doing... #TICTeC

Everything that Labour ought to stand for - but doesn't - is in the Green Party manifesto. My column. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
