Angela Rayner gives councils green light to sell off allotments
Labour's Angela Rayner has approved the sale of eight allotment sites in England since the party came to power, according to a report in the Telegraph. The move has been branded a "kick in the teeth" ...
Another bad move by โLabourโ. Telling councils to sell off what few assets they have left as opposed to giving them the funding they need is nothing short of Tory austerity.
Allotments are incredible shared spaces. This is not the change people voted for.

My present trowel (WHS with wooden handle, obviously) is Goliath VII. His heavily worn sires are still brought out to assist with fiddly features every now and then, but sadly Goliath I, II, and V were lost to various mishaps.

Having spotted hedgehog poo in my garden over the last few weeks, Iโd wondered if I might have a resident hoggie. I just noticed what seems to be a nest in a pile of grass cuttings under a hedge, can any knowledgeable #hedgehog folk confirm this? ๐ฆ

My old boy, Dippy, hasnโt been able to go outside since a near-fatal injury from a cat fight, so Iโm very happy to say that heโs taken to little walks around the garden on a lead like an absolute pro.

Instead of slashing welfare and disability benefits โ forcing more disabled people and children into poverty โ the government could introduce a 2% tax on assets over ยฃ10 million.
It would raise ยฃ24 billion โ five times the savings from these cuts.
This is austerity 2.0

Tens have thousands are backing Richard Burgon's call for Wealth Taxes.
It's time for the super-rich to pay their fare share.
Join the campaign for Wealth Taxes today.
Amazing news! French MPs this week voted for a wealth tax on the ultra-rich.
It would introduce a 2% tax on any wealth over โฌ100m.
A wealth tax on the super-rich is what we need here.
And it's what I'm campaigning for. Join thousands of others and sign up below.
