So excited to share the first paper from my PhD! This new #openaccess paper in @progenvgeog examines the UK’s mould crisis through literature on toxic geographies – revealing the racial logics and temporal dynamics of “toxic” household mould https://t.co/NDXPRhT2Sg

Hard to know if a Tribunal would be hard on Reeves (she’s Chancellor & should know the law, high profile case, inconsistencies in her public account already) or more lenient (in light of emails from letting agent??) but I’d bet she’d pay £££ for it not to get to that stage anyway

Someone better tell them they could get up to 12 months rent back 🤑🤑🤑🤑

The way I’d be immediately trying to get a Rent Repayment Order if I was Rachel Reeves’ tenants….

EXCLUSIVE: King’s College London is accused of putting the life of a second-year student at risk by withdrawing his visa sponsorship after pressure from a pro-Israel lobby group

Utterly disgusting. 8 years after Grenfell, we cannot let powerful landlords put our safety last.

9-5 was not designed for *anyone* actually. It’s nothing to do with our hormonal cycles vs theirs and everything to do with ~capitalism~. Besides, prior to the 40 hr work week people worked 10-16 hours per day on avg. The 40 hour work week was the result of decades of activism.

We’ve known from the start that this Labour governments’ priority is developers & their profits so it’s useful they’re saying it explicitly now b/c folk can stop entertaining their faux discourse on wanting to fix the housing crisis

Out today: Debt Trap Nation, published on #WorldHomelessDay. Our book exposes how UK govt policy is driving families – esp domestic abuse survivors – into debt, homelessness & poverty. All royalties to Surviving Economic Abuse. 💜 @melnowicki 📖

There’ll be no sortition, then. I’ll tell the children.

Really pleased to have won the @UGRGRGS postgraduate writing competition! ❤️‍🔥

Yesterday was supposed to be the premiere of our documentary. The event was sold out weeks in advance, and as you can imagine, we were all really excited about sharing our months of work with you all. However, the proscription changed everything. This article by the good people

As they try to push through their cruel welfare reforms, here are Liz Kendall and Stephen Timms' own voting records on welfare and benefits under the Coalition & Tory govs. The Labour party is full of ghouls who stand for nothing, and will do anything for a whiff of power.

#WelfareNotWarfare Protestors with Israeli flags tried today disrupt our protest. They didn’t like our placards which had welfare nor warfare on them We formed a circle of support around disabled people by the joining of hands We were called parasites and worse

So many Labour MPs acting as if PIP is an out-of-work benefit. At first I assumed they were uninformed (still bad), but it's now clearly a deliberate cynical tactic to manufacture support for cuts based on insidious lies. If any of them can still feel shame, they should – deeply.

Washing and bathing is the only PIP area with a 3 point descriptor. To underscore the cruelty of these cuts: even if changed to 3+ rule, those who cannot wash their hair/below the waist without help from someone else would STILL lose their PIP (unless they scored a 4 elsewhere).

Issue 7.1 #Reflection by HARTA on "The politics of vacancy: Housing struggles and collective action in rural Greece" asks: how can land and residential vacancies be reclaimed as terrains of social justice and collective agency in rural Greece? https://t.co/YUpAhNCTWZ

‼️It's out‼️ My new paper on land, property, and guardianship in Dakar, Senegal just published in @SocietyandSpace 🚨 It's my first solo-authored paper and one I've thought about for a long time So happy to finally share it! https://t.co/Up4vsiks1C

The #LongRead "Financialization, possessive familialism, and the politics of vacancy" by @Vrantsis1 reinterprets vacancy as a tool for profit, reinforced by state policies, landlord lobbying & #Greece’s entrenched system of possessive #familialism https://t.co/stDzW0yPY3

‘the right to protest is essential and we will always defend it’ in the same breath as bemoaning the fact that you don’t have the power to prevent this protest and warning that ‘breaches of the law will be dealt with robustly’ i.e. you are chomping at the bit to make arrests
