I’m looking to interview comrades involved in organising ‘Stop the City’ demos in London and further afield in 1983-84 for an archive about the intersection between anarcho-punk and street politics to be housed at @maydayrooms. Please share with any potential interested parties!

Really sorry to hear of Nicky’s passing. Sounds silly but I didn’t think it was possible for this day to ever come, she never stopped! She was so passionate and hard working but still found time to check how you were.
So many memories. She will be greatly missed by so many.
Nicky's family is very sad to announce that she has died. She passed away peacefully at home on 30th August.

It’s been wonderful to assist students with great projects this term @UCLurbanlab but it’s something special to see them self organise a curatorial collective around the theme, despite its ongoing realities 🥰. Details for submissions here, d/l 31/5: ucl.ac.uk/urban-lab/urban-mi…

It was a pleasure to review @MattWThompson’s Reconstructing Public Housing for @HousingJournal. The community imperative it demands seems ever more prescient given the events of Merseyside municipalism in the few months since I read it tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Boris Johnson says "newt counting" is the cause of slow building in the UK.

So remember this and the double theft of grant and gain when criticising your local authority/Mayor for pitiful levels of “affordable” housing in the next year or so. Some may be due, but this is and long has been a fight for any AH at all. And it’s going to get so much worse.
Great English land sale! Englands green and pleasant land sold off to speculators, spivs and wealth extractors. It's #buildbackworse. What will be the local economic development response? Time to stay strong and not play this fire sale game.
