In 2008 I had the opportunity to spend a bit of time after the @globalvoices summit in Budapest with Wael Abbas and Alaa Abd El-Fattah - I can’t find the full interview atm, but here’s a short extract in which Alaa appears at around 4 mins:

The National Allotment Society says there is no war on #allotments. The Telegraph’s disingenuous & inflammatory reporting (so out of character!) was designed to politicise & polarise another arena of communal life, as the comments show:

Angela Rayner has given the green light for cash-strapped councils to sell off allotments to raise funds⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08/0…

@Telegraph Dreadful - how totally unsocialist - depriving non property owners or non garden owners of their ability to grow produce and have a relationship with the land

@sdp That applies to statutory allotments. How many aren't statutory?

🚨NEW: No. 10 staffer tells me that the 'selling off allotments' policy was issued in revenge after Jeremy Corbyn announced his new party. Staffer tells there was a meeting on Monday to decide how to react and this one got passed and Rayner was sent out with it this morning 🧵

Sickening that Rayner apparently given go ahead for councils to sell off allotments.
Allotments are a social lifeline for so many vulnerable people.
A shameful and spiteful act.
English
This is truly shameful😡
#allotments offer more than just somewhere to grow vegetables for those without gardens. They offer spiritual quiet, serenity, a place to bond with friends, a place to be still and at one with nature. They are brilliant for mental well-being and #angelarayner is going to destroy something that has been the fabric of our life for over 150 years

#Allotments - a British institution. Council owned but available to those living in homes without a garden (the poor), affording them the opportunity to grow their own food.
@AngelaRayner has once again targeted the very people @UKLabour was set up to protect #LabourFails
English
@Telegraph Not true - here’s a statement from the National Allotment Society that provides proper context and (very gently) criticises your reporting.

@Telegraph Disappointingly poor quality, agenda-driven reporting with a clickbait headline designed to outrage and divide rather than inform. Here’s what the National #Allotment Society says:

Have been thinking recently that I need to take a course in economics, but this terrific thread, and listening to @KateRaworth on @ExponentialView, is making me wonder whether intro courses are really fit for purpose...
