Nearly 10% of West Bridgford have signed the petition to Save the West Bridgford Recycling Centre, have you? actionnetwork.org/petitions/save… (thanks to the Orkney resident btw, but I think it only really counts if you're in Nottinghamshire!)

Seems to have missed the FACT that ALL of those points have been ignored. Fact three is plainly not a fact. Labour membership is fodder and internal democracy is a pantomime. Labour members have as much control of the party as Reform members.

This is what Starmer did, in effect, say today: "I am so sorry we cannot govern. That's the Tories' fault. There's nothing we can do about it. So we are going to do exactly what they did, except it may be worse."

Great questioning from Victoria Derbyshire here. Not so much on the answering from James Murray. Cronyism needs to stop. The civil service should be apolitical. Next time vote for #RealChange

"The super-rich won’t feel pain from being asked to pay a 1% tax on their wealth and assets... Neither will they feel pain through reforming Capital Gains Tax so it aligns with the rates of income tax." Truth from Zack Polanski metro.co.uk/2024/08/28/bri… via Metro

Great that Labour are recognising the demand for a 4 day week, but what they're offering here is just compressed hours. A real 4 day week has been shown to reduce stress and burnout and boost productivity. Welcome but Labour could be bolder on this!

Yeah getting a former Labour MP, who's the Civil Service Commissioner, is totally the right person to lead an investigation into political cronyism by the Labour Party.

Libraries being closed, services being stopped, bus routes being cut. Where is the emergency government funding for Nottingham City Council? We shouldn't expect any from a Labour Party planning to continue austerity. join.greenparty.org.uk
