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 we’ve not
Another hardworking,long standing Cllr (& Ex MP) blocked from standing for County Council in May
Given the Party 37 years but now deemed ‘not a team player’ 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 doesn’t treat people like dog sh*t
We take spite but prefer the cash 😂
We started our Party from scratch and are now fighting a County election to ensure our community voices are heard.
Please donate what you can to help us achieve our goal of having a seat at the political table to represent our local residents against the money machines of National Parties in May.
“I’m 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 them”
Our local meeting right in the heart of the community
Our Cllrs bringing together residents, neighbourhood police & community liaison officers
We believe nobody is hard to reach
Politicians should be out in their patches
We remember these 👇
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
Our Housing strategy👇
-Built energy efficient homes💡
-Bought back council homes🏡
-Purchased ‘affordable homes’ as council homes for our stock 🏗️
-Built shared ownership properties🤝
- Worked with developers to have a scheme for local people to buy new homes for 20% discount💰
Fed up of political ‘tourists’ being parachuted into your areas? 📸
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
The revolution starts in the back room of the local British Legion ✊
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
Surely the Broxtowe MP, Juliet Campbell is on the list….
Here she is promising to support you all the way and that was only back in September. Surely it wasn’t just a photo opportunity??
A photo of Kier Starmer and Rachel Reeves at a table in a fancy board room in London. The City skyline is visible through the windows behind them.
Having gone to hear Gary last night, we realise more than ever what a sham this is 👇
This isn’t about ordinary folk, this is about keeping the rich rich and the poor quiet
A photo of Gary Stevenson on stage with an image of his book, 'The Trading Game' behind him.
“It’s them & us & it’s 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 organise”
Fired up by @garyseconomics.bsky.social
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 cafés 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 👇
Exactly why are Cllrs help out at the local Repair cafe.
Here mending peoples clothes
Makes economic and environmental sense as well as helping build a community
‘Chaos’ is apparently not updating a council website 😂
Lovely that they have kept the story of 20 Cllrs living Labour alive for us - beautiful to see
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, It’s 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 💚
Lovely party of Beeston, wonderful people.
We have great borough Cllrs down there already & ye bring on County 2025 🗳️
It was the Boat and Horses actually..
Our first Community meeting - good old fashioned grassroots politics.
Teresa Cullen explaining why we left Labour and how we will stand up for our communities ✊
