Goodbye We believe in never surrendering spaces to Nazis. But when our presence generates money for Nazis, the equation changes. We will be deleting this account soon. Open Nottingham is no more but our work will continue under different names in different places. No pasarán

It appears some Labour councillors have finally noticed that this Labour government cares no more about our city than the Tories did.
Three Nottingham libraries which were earmarked for closure now look set to be run by volunteers bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7vd…

Bottom of the pile! 😡 Are we the only ones that care about Broxtowe?? Given the least amount of money in the WHOLE country!
It’s an absolute disgrace that @broxtowebc has received the joint lowest budget settlement of any authority in the entire country. And Broxtowe’s MP has clearly not fought our corner.

It may not be big politics but small community acts can mean the world to the people receiving them The local Yarn Bombers was set up by our Cllr @SuePaterson72 after Covid to get women back out of the home They now go into local care homes teaching crochet to the residents ❤️

When I spoke in Parliament this week on child sexual abuse and exploitation, I was shouted down by Tory MPs and Nigel Farage. I’ve worked with CSA services in Nottingham for over a decade. I will keep advocating for victims and survivors, and I refuse to be silenced.

The decision by Israeli authorities to extend the closure of Al Jazeera's Ramallah office is condemned by the NUJ as an ongoing attack on media freedom. We join @IFJGlobal in calling for its reversal.

The fight against cuts continues. Notts TUC will continue to back the Nottingham SOS campaign in 2025. The cuts will seriously damage the lives of people in Nottingham, especially the most vulnerable. The council's sham consultation is a negation of our basic democratic rights.

Has the MP for Broxtowe come out in support yet? She was very keen to stand next to you for a photo in September 24 but she’s been very quiet since Liz Kendall announced there would be no compensation. We will keep the pressure on ✊

Did you DO anything about child exploitation gangs when you were in power, @RobertJenrick ? Grateful to Labour colleagues, like @YvetteCooperMP who are working hard to implement recommendations from the Alexis Jay inquiry, so victims receive justice. Volume on! 👇🏽

The Musk/Farage divorce is getting very messy. They’re arguing over who gets custody of Lee Anderson. Musk wants Farage to take him and Farage wants Musk to take him. ✌️

A brilliant example of commercial radio responding to significant local news events - if there's major flooding, do the news on location. Others could and should learn from this.
A first for me today, reading the news for Capital and Smooth East Midlands from Barrow Upon Soar as flooding continues to cause problems.

Women were central to organising the Leicester protest against Reform UK last Friday; they're inspirations in the age of far right misogyny. Pics -Chris Tregenza. @AntiRacismDay @Searchlight_mag @LouiseRawAuthor

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 but many spoke of poverty,damp & being cold

These devastating scenes of flooding serve as a powerful reminder that climate change is already disrupting people's lives and destroying their homes. In England, one in four properties will be at risk of flooding by 2050. This is why funding the green transition is so vital.
