Last night we heard from Chloe Jeffries at @ClimateEmergMcr about some of the great work they’ve been doing in Manchester. Their main priority right now is their campaign for a 7th Scrutiny Committee of Manchester City Council – dedicated to Climate Change. Please sign and share! https://twitter.com/ClimateEmergMcr/status/1307699046631366656

#Manchester Council makes big shiny #climate promises, fails to implement them.

To break the cycle, we need regular (monthly-ish) scrutiny committee meetings.

If you live, work or study in #Manchester Council's boundaries, pls sign & share the petition.

Manchester City Council faces a budget crisis, but still found 50k to waste on drivel calling itself a "new economic narrative."

Read it and weep.

Why does finance care so much about students?

@alessioilgreco and @RahelSuess trace the financial web that ties the ongoing lockdown fiasco at MMU with global private equity and ask—what might we do to push back against the financialisation of housing?
