My daughters got me this, I think as the appropriate mood-guardian for my bookshelf.
Yanina do you have a link for info about the positions in Democratic theory in Girona? 🙏
Hard to know which is more shocking - the dire warnings of the potential collapse of our food system in the UK or the fact that governments have tried to cover it up. Their complacency is off the scale. We urgently need to switch to growing more food domestically & to restore nature now
Great to see the book featuring in a study circle in Malmo!
Can't recommend this book, by @kmilb.bsky.social @kaiheron.bsky.social & @bertrussell.bsky.social, enough.
It offers a sound analysis of our time of 'bullshit abundance and artificial scarcity' & combines it with an actionable plan to replace capitalism's stranglehold with another type of control.
Ireland has the weakest local government in the EU but this is not inevitable or irreversible. Reinventing local democratic institutions to improve quality of life can be common ground for many orgs and campaign groups here.
Today we launch our new policy briefing - Popular Asset Commissions: Building a Green Democratic Haringey.
Written with @kmilb.bsky.social & @kaiheron.bsky.social for @abundance-org.bsky.social, the briefing informs Haringey Green Party’s 2026 local election manifesto.

I have turned down both a vacation and an invitation to speak in the US this year.
And in a year when the cubs might finally go deep in October, this is particularly gruelling 😂
Yeah tell me! We got BUP to include a paperback edition in the contract, but it will be a year (we think) until it's released.

I've just joined the @greenparty.org.uk.
You'll probably find me getting involved in the participatory policy groups, especially feeding in on issues of participatory planning and strategies for communal control of assets.
In the link below you can watch the talk @bertrussell.bsky.social and I gave about our book Radical Abundance: How to Win a Green Democratic Future in Amsterdam this weekend. It was followed by an excellent discussion and is well worth a look.

Is that a humble brag I smell Hettie? :p Congratulations though, looking forward to getting my hands on a copy soon.
Players should push for the salary floor - that’s the trade chip.
Is there a recording?
Merz has said that Germans need to "work harder", whilst the CDU is tabling a proposal that may include extending the working day to nine hours, reduce vacation entitlements, and modify the currently strict Sunday working legislation.
Any 'leadership' of this sort will see Europe burn.
Alleged someone allegedly burning a concentration camp in Kansas City.
Suburban wine moms will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a concentration camp" and then very effectively firebomb a concentration camp
Wes Streeting released his whatsapp messages with Mandelson
We've written to him asking him to also release messages with private health donors (who benefit from NHS privatisation)
@goodlawproject.bsky.social found he is 60%+ funded by private healthcare

Good news from Transport for London. They have committed to “develop detailed plans” for a publicly-owned bus company, to reverse the trend to privatisation that has made services worse and more expensive. Unite the union has welcomed this – and we do too. www.unitetheunion.or...
