Developers are cutting corners, putting lives at risk. After the Grenfell Tower fire, new regulations were introduced so that all tower blocks over 18 metres must have two staircases. A proposed development in Penge stops 30cm short of the limit in order to have just one.

💥Community education is pro-active community self-defence💥 Recommending these recent-ish books as really great guides to how we can understand, analyse & resist the housing emergency Organise a reading group, discussion group or just kick back and read on your own. All good!

This is the final plot 8 (H1) of the former Heygate estate. Southwark Council agreed to sell it to Lendlease for £6m with payment due upon commencement of construction. @lendlease just sold it to another developer for £42m. Southwark Council still hasn't received a penny of its £6m.

The United States has some excellent organising traditions and practices we would do well to learn from here in the UK The “No Arena in Chinatown” in Philly defeated plans for a super arena. Here's how they did it: littlesis.org/news/archiving…

Absurd situation. Ending austerity means providing councils with proper funding. You can't build a strong economy without strong public services.

SHAPE (Southwark Housing and Planning Emergency) Anti-Berkeley Party as council votes on the Aylesham Shopping Centre plans for Peckham. It's expected to be refused but you never can tell with Southwark what's up!

"The fact that a Labour government after Grenfell has decided that the regulation of construction is the problem and the thing they need to dismantle, I think is a fucking obscenity."

We warned that proscription would have a dangerous chilling effect on freedom of expression. Now we see armed officers threatening to arrest people with Palestine flags and free Gaza placards. There is no lawful basis for this police behaviour.

Martin Forde concluded Labour operates a hierarchy of racism, where anti-Black racism & Islamophobia are brushed aside. Now we have a Prime Minister who mimicked Enoch Powell with “island of strangers” & suspended the UK’s first Black woman MP twice. It’s institutional racism.

85% of Gaza’s population have entered the "fifth stage" of malnutrition — the most critical and dangerous phase, which is often irreversible even if food becomes available in the future.
