🎉Another exciting episode of the New Economics Podcast out now! This week @AyeishaTS was joined by @KeirMilburn and @francesnorthrop to talk about the failure of privatisation, what radical abundance means, and how communities are building alternatives to capitalism.

This government should be aiming to build 90,000 social homes a year - these homes will go to the people who need them most, easing pressure on the private rented market. 2/2

Whenever the UK has managed to build more than 300,000 homes a year, local authorities have been building a significant portion of them. It's new socials homes, not a reliance on profit-driven private developers, which will enable housebuilding. 1/2

As one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes in history smashes into the Caribbean, new research finds that millions of people are dying each year from rising heat. These events are a direct result of our failure to tackle the climate crisis.

Great to see that following my colleague Chaitanya Kumar's oral evidence session in June, the Treasury Select Committee has endorsed our recommendation for the Treasury to explore the merits of allowing the NWF to borrow funds directly from the market. https://t.co/ZgjSnIAhMa

For more @DominicCaddick and @dhnnjyn wrote about why we need a new fiscal framework for @thefabians. Find it here.

To escape this situation which binds us to austerity, we need reform. The OBR should be replaced with an Office for Fiscal Transparency, to ensure there is democratic debate over the state of the economy and spending isn't needlessly and prematurely cut.

Forecasting is inherently uncertain - but our broken fiscal framework means these inexact estimates result in the government making real decisions of huge consequence to the economy.

The OBR's changed its mind on what the economy will look like in 5 years time so now Rachel Reeves needs to raise taxes or cut spending to the value of £20bn? This is clearly not a sensible or sustainable way to run an economy.

❗️ We're protesting against Harrow Council. Join us this Thursday as we tell councillors: STOP IGNORING RENTERS!

Great to see our research on frequent flyers being discussed in the House of Lords! It's this tiny percentage of the population who will benefit the most from airport expansion, while the rest of us have to live with the environmental consequences.

We'll be sharing more details about the exciting outcomes of the summit soon. In the mean time, if you want to learn more about Homes for Us - and how your group can get involved - visit our website. 4/4

We had time to reflect on developments in housing policy over the last year as well as the wider political and social landscape. Then we discussed some of the Homes for Us alliance's plans for the coming year (watch this space👀). 3/4

There were sessions where attendees could learn more about the struggle for accessible housing for disabled people and migrants, explore the different types of rent controls we could be fighting for, and hear about tenant campaigns that have already had big wins. 2/4

On Saturday the Homes for Us alliance bought together people from 40 different housing groups, organisations and tenants unions to connect and make plans for how we win a better housing system. Here's what happened. 1/4

Proud that @InclusionLondon was part of the alliance behind Saturday’s Housing Summit in Westminster. Amazing to see Disabled people and housing campaigners unite and mobilise for real change! #HousingCrisis

💪Communities know how best to solve the problems they face. As inequality and tensions grow, “by-and-for" organisations have been gaining attention. Our report looks at how they have been delivering lasting change – despite the challenges they face. https://t.co/YfjzaIq2Az

Today @foodandsolidarity are at the Homes for Us Summit in London @NEF

Really excited to be at the Homes for Us summit today with groups and tenants unions from across the country to strategise about how we win the safe, affordable, accessible homes we all deserve!✊🏽🏘️✨
