When an anti-poverty charity that helps run national food banks pleads with the government to choose a different path, then we all should sit up and take notice.
Not tough choices, political choices
Some local Labour Cllrs run food banks helped by the Trussell Trust. How do they feel seeing this?

We should be surprised but weβve not
Another hardworking,long standing Cllr (& Ex MP) blocked from standing for County Council in May
Given the Party 37 years but now deemed βnot a team playerβ all to bring in a friend of the MP (same as here)
Come join us, our Alliance is growing

Thanks Sinan. We miss having you around.
Plenty other reasons, as you know, to support us. Same people, same values just a new Party that doesnβt treat people like dog sh*t

βIβm a working class man with working class values & I love my home town.
I worked on the railways before becoming a postie & running my own pub, the Old Cross
I was in the Labour Party 20yrs, a Town, Borough & County Cllr. When they ditched my mate Cllr Sue Paterson, I ditched themβ

We believe instead of trying to divide society why not try offering meaningful change, & investment in public services & local communities instead?
Offer people hope & materially change their lives for the better instead of demonising the poor, ill, disabled, elderly & refugees

We offer an alternative. We pride ourselves on being local, vocal & visible all year round
Political leadership should come from everyday people from the ground up, not sent ready programmed from Westminster.

A photo taken from the back of our first all-members meeting. The room is full of people listening to Cllr Greg Marshall, who is standing to address the meeting
Not even a month old and what a crowd for our first members meeting.
Give people hope, agency & a sense of community & they will turn up

Went to see him at the Playhouse on Monday, brilliant at stating how we need to wake up and see any growth is about the rich just getting richer
The economy is stacked against ordinary folk and the rich are buying up all our resources eg houses and then charging us to use them.
Excellently done

Here she is promising to support you all the way and that was only back in September. Surely it wasnβt just a photo opportunity??

βItβs them & us & itβs a Class Divide
Inequality will widen & Social Mobility will reduce
The rich are getting richer on this & ordinary folk & our services will suffer
This is planned,we need to wake up, shout it from the roof tops and organiseβ

A word cloud in the shape of the borough of Broxtowe, filled with he names of all the community groups and projects our councillors are involved in. They include food banks, spots clubs, community centres, allotments and growing communities, scouts, church groups, repair cafΓ©s and more.
Build from the grassroots up
Get back into your communities
The political systems have failed us
Rebuilding a genuine civil society means constructing & supporting organisations deeply rooted in communities & built around people
This is what our @broxtoweindies.bsky.social Cllrs do π

You know that the UK economy is going to go into meltdown because this AI bullshit is just another way for the government to avoid doing what needs to be done. Tax the rich, tax assets, fund public services and local authorities properly.

Politics is mostly just sitting in a small
Community Centre on a Monday night in some of the most deprived areas, listening to residents talk about the every day problems that matter to them & their family
Not one person spoke of Musk or Farage but many spoke of poverty, damp & being cold.

Good to hear from you Ben, Itβs so refreshing being able to respond to a member of another party without fear of getting expelled- just able to chat with other humans who are also working for a better society.
Be good to catch up soon π
