This week I went to Bold Politics Live, Resistance is Existence, March Against the Far Right, & the Green Party conference. Lots of talk about system change. Also about listening, relationships, & local, collective power. So I wrote my first Substack! ➡️ bit.ly/4uZK1Vn

@IGMansfield This was very much my experience in 4 years on my local upper tier authority. No wonder turnout is so low. I'm still on the district council where we still have (some) discretionary spending choices!

Local elections should mean something. And without the ability to vote for lower taxes, as well as higher taxes, they don't.

There is understandable Schadenfreude at the Reform councils' failure to cut council tax. But it highlights a problem with local democracy which we should all be concerned about. You can't have meaningful local democracy when 75% of budgets are spent on statutory duties. 🧵

@CringePun @BNHWalker Absolute nonsense about doing the 'best areas first'. If anything the opposite, you do areas you don't have good data on first.

@BNHWalker The campaign started a few days ago - Greens, like anyone, will have done their best areas first. Canvassing is more likely to yield positive results for the party doing it. If this is really what's coming back, 4/10 people the Greens talk to saying they'll vote Reform then - 💀

This afternoon #Oxfordshire comes together, from across the political divide, to remember former Cllr @ianhudspeth. A resident of Bladon, the former County Council leader, a #OUFC fan, and above all a loyal friend. He will be missed by many of us.
