hackneycitizen.co.uk/2026/11/03/h... Very sad not to have been at this celebration. Hackney Law Centre provides essential support for people in Hackney, holds the council to account and drives the law to defend people’s rights. Time for @hackneycouncil.bsky.social to give it decent funding.

Hackney Community Law Centre marks 50 years of fighting for residents’ rights

Speakers at the anniversary celebration praised the centre’s record of test cases, and warned that frozen legal aid rates and a hostile climate for migrants are piling on pressure

Thank you Andy Burnham and John Healy. Some important help in the budget for people to get by in the short term. Next time, we’d love to see rent controls and real redistribution - taxing wealth not work.

Great piece by @jrf-uk.bsky.social on the intersection of Local Housing Allowance & rent controls LHA has been frozen since 2024, leaving households with shortfalls - these govt savings have come at the expense of those households Rent controls mean LHA goes further www.jrf.org.uk/housing/how-...

How rent controls reduce the cost of Local Housing Allowance uprating

Repeated freezes have left Local Housing Allowance rates trailing far behind real rents. Rent controls would cut the cost of restoring the link by slowing rent growth.

Well done Caitlin. Cooperation has always worked for our communities and it’s so good to see cooperatives being supported by our Government.

The clean energy transition works best when communities own it. From the Local Power Plan investing in community-owned energy, to billions for communities and local authorities to upgrade homes, Miatta Fahnbulleh is turning that co-operative principle into practice.

End austerity now say Hackney’s Green Council. Thanks to @uklabour.bsky.social gov’t, Hackney got 25% funding uplift in the Spending Review to build services up and turn back the years of Tory austerity. Can the Greens get more funding or are they planning to bankrupt the council? gloo.to/FhXl
