ALMOST HALFWAY TO 15K! On Tues the community spoke from the heart about the difference Len made to their lives in Hackney. While JC Motors moves to a new home Len needs support to keep going. Pls chip in & share: bit.ly/StandWithLenFF @fifiglover @thegentleauthor @GoFundMeUK

EVICTION DAY DEMO JC MOTORS TODAY 3.30! All invited to #StandWithLen at his arch 332 Stean St, E8 as he locks up for the last time. Pic taken by Sarah Ainslie is Len and the last car in his garage. Let’s make as much noise as we can!

On this front there will be a push from now until the Spending Review. Advocates of community ownership - which can, I think, create change people can see and feel - need to meet the Chancellor's challenge.

For a Labour government in particular it is important that resource sits alongside new powers.

There was some acknowledgement of this in the Budget. An omission that is concerning is the lack of announcement on the Community Ownership Fund which helps save at risk assets people care about, or what funding might follow it.

I think Duncan overlooks the brightness that our cities local entrepreneurs give us and for whom space is being eaten up, exploited & turned either into unimaginative state led failures such as Hackney Walk or similar clone town steel and glass like the looming Truman Brewery.

Great piece from Josh reflecting on the Budget, which shares common ground with @duncanrobinson's excellent Economist column from the other day. economist.com/britain/2024/1…

Since the Budget I've been thinking about what the government needs to do for change to be felt whilst it waits for reforms + investment to have an impact. I think focusing on the 'little things that matter' as @georgeeaton highlighted and the fabric of local areas is important.

How to prevent a Trump-style rise here? Good early thoughts from @UCLPolicyLab: 💷 Relentless focus on the everyday economy 🔧 Bottom-up redesign of public services + social safety net 🤝 Only in our shared connection and humanity can we build a hopeful politics for the future

“It is worth reflecting on the need for Democrats, and those who share their politics more broadly, to once again confront how many ordinary Americans view them as distant from their everyday concerns”. Early reflections from the team here @UCLPolicyLab ucl.ac.uk/policy-lab/new…



Away from US drama, a community unites & rolls up their sleeves to be partners of Government @Keir_Starmer called for in Labour’s mission for growth & stability. Our Community Land Trust is ready 4 London’s Growth Plan @howarddawber Time for rhetoric is over let’s get this done!

ALL HEROES WEAR OVERALLS! @leonard_maloney still faces eviction on Tues. The crippling uncertainty of the last 18 months imposed on him by @TfL & PfL has eroded his ability to stay afloat. If you can pls donate + share his GoFundMe page: gofund.me/fde93d19 @thegentleauthor

We're outside City Hall to #singwithlen and tell @MayorofLondon that we stand together with Len @jc_ldm after his untenable rent hikes. Together we're stronger - Len's business given #socialvalue to London for years, and the #community stands with him. #standbylen

.@TfL wants to remove Len’s case from a conversation on Social Value. The case is symptomatic of system that erodes communities by collaborating with privately owned @thearchcompany on market evidence for highest rents. Many Guild members living on the edge of not making rent.

A responsible solution is a @TfL policy for Social Value Leases that would protect and not destroy our most socially, environmentally and culturally valuable businesses that local people need. Many London councils already do this including @IslingtonBC

Come on @MayorofLondon Len is a proper local hero!



Krissie Nicolson Reposted

.@tfl says comparable biz can afford rent. @nef researched garages already closed by @tfl who collaborate on market evidence @thearchcompany Those not in arrears suffer significant duress. 3 @TfL spaces near Len have been empty for 5 yrs. #StandWithLen bit.ly/4eqW4S6

Last time Len met @MayorofLondon Sadiq Khan at People's Question Time, he committed to and met @EastEndTrades members around our ask for a community land trust. Now, more than ever, we need to #standwithlen to deliver much needed change 👀 #singwithlen
