Only Reform members could worsen the PR disaster of the donations film by then beating up peaceful protesters on live TV.
They’re a total freak show.

Thank you and well done.
Today is Ukrainian Independence Day 🇺🇦
To mark the occasion and show our continued support for the people of Ukraine, we'll be lighting up York House in the colours of the Ukrainian Flag this evening!
The Ukrainian flag will also be flying outside the Civic Centre.

What a colossally stupid headline!
Unbelievable and woeful ignorance of the science.
Surely most readers, even of this rag, know Zack and @TheGreenParty is absolutely right on this and has been for decades?
It’s time we sorted out the press.
Constant misinformation to protect their donors and fossil fuels is destroying lives and our planet.
The Government must step up and stop being cowardly.
ALT sorry Zack Polanski this long hot summer is not the apocalypse - it's like a gloriously long holiday in France with village green cricket thrown in for good measure

The joy of taking a stroll captured perfectly in 1971 when Fyfe Robertson and little Louise Todd wandered through the countryside together having a delightful chat.

100 lengths at the community pool. I’ve swum almost every day this season. Having this public resource is a thousand times better than having a private pool. Instead of private affluence amid public squalor, we need public affluence—a rebuilding of shared and community life.

Crystalisr is not a political organisation, but the co-operative movement can only applaud this leadership being shown Councillors in Richmond upon Thames.
👏👏👏
Devolution and local decison-making is in the ascendancy. @lbrut is clearly preparing for proper acocuntability.
We're calling for proportional representation 🗳️
At last night's Full Council, councillors raised the importance of different political opinions and called on the new PM to back proportional representation for local, regional and national elections.

There is so much in common between this narrative and local economic strategies as promoted by the @CoopInnovation and @CLESthinkdo that we really ought to be calling it by its name, #communitywealthbuilding
Earlier this week, I welcomed the UK's Public Interest Test for procurement and new insourcing strategies. But procurement reform needs to go much further to become a true lever for economic transformation.
New piece with @annapick_, @IIPP_UCL Policy Fellow, identifies three shifts required to turn procurement from a cost centre into an engine of inclusive growth—supporting missions (not just sectors), maximising public value (not just social value), and building state capacity to direct growth and take risks.
UK procurement: £341 billion annually. That's enormous leverage to shape markets if designed right.

Celebrating with civic leaders from around the country and central government, what has been achieved by @CLESthinkdo in the past 40 years.
#CommunityWealthBuilding is offering the route back to prosperity, and so the impact and relevance of CLES is growing and growing.

South London has ~60,000 active businesses. Most work in isolation, missing the bigger opportunities that need collaboration.
Crystalisr is building community-owned infrastructure to change that

Small organisations don't lack expertise. They lack access to the opportunities that need scale.
Crystalisr connects SMEs, freelancers & social enterprises in South London so they can collaborate, win bigger opportunities & deliver together.

As a movement, Cooperators have long stood against VAWG – with equality of access and opportunity at the core of our value.
As Cooperators in local government, CCIN members are continuing that - exploring how Coop values can drive innovation in the sector and improve services.
