This account will be phased out for the foreseeable. The majority of my microblog content will now be at togetherkev.bsky.social. Some occasional content will still be here and I may respond to tags and DMs.
As a former NUJ member who is still passionate about these issues, thank you.
It was an honour to speak to @NUJofficial conference today to give an update on the Parliamentary Group's work about the protection of journalists globally and at home, the risks of unregulated AI, need to strengthen media workers’ rights... (1/2)
Had a great time today on @VisitCalderdale's veggie food tour of Halifax Market. Great food and amazing history from Alison & Vicky. It was Alison's first tour, but no one guessed. Great event, great for @Calderdale! Recommend it! culturedale.co.uk/events/a-t… #CultureDale

Today the Deputy Prime Minister, @AngelaRayner, spoke at Convention of the North in Preston.
The message was clear; we know that the country is impatient for change - and we are too. And the change this country needs can’t be micromanaged from Whitehall.
Be great if there was anyone @PendletonTHG could put forward
Make sure you get your nomination in!
Please share far and wide!
Deadline: 21st March

We're social not private, but we're retrofitting 30k+ of our properties to EPC C if infrastructure allows. It'd be great if @Ed_Miliband took up @JoshFG invitation to visit our work. We showed @Jonathan_Hinder our gas-free development today too, so happy to show off Colne too!
'He would say that wouldn't he'
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband told #BBCBreakfast plans to increase the minimum standards of energy efficiency in private rented homes in England and Wales would cost an average £6,000 - and dismissed concerns from landlords

Met with Kasira Ahmed @TogetherHousing Diversity & Inclusion Business Partner to talk about promoting how important it is for residents to share their protected characteristics with @PendletonTHG to enable the housing association to evaluate the effectiveness of their diversity & inclusion housing strategy and to arrange staff and sub-contractors training on hate crime awareness in order to keep residents safe. @lynnesharrison @togetherpoppy @togetherkev @BoardofDeputies @SaraRad67 @LiberalJudaism @SiRothstein @WilsonNkurunzi4 @CllrJWarmisham @Michele4PandC @Su_Matthews @AsumuHilaria @JBrooks_Salford
Great climate change question from @JoshFG. We're working in Calder Valley to address the retrofit challenge with Josh's support. We're working with Rothwell Group (in @lisanandy constituency) around re-skilling the workforce and welcome his attention to this matter too.
In Calder Valley this weekend we saw the very real face of climate change, nearly having serious floods. The opposition act like it's an inconvenience, not a threat to our communities. I asked @Ed_Miliband about warm homes following his statement on COP this week

We are unlocking new homes across England with £68m for 54 councils across England to transform brownfield land 🏗️
ALT Graphic for the Brownfield Land Release Fund. It highlights an allocation of £68 million to 54 councils, to transform neglected areas and unlock 5,200 new homes, set against a sky background.
A quick write up of our trip to @UKParliament this week for @resolveasb's #asbawarenessweek launch. @michelle_allott and @AndyMacnae get the photo choice!

It was before my time and before we were @TogetherHG but John Prescott was MP for many of our Hull residents. I also learned loads from his former press officer, who was my boss briefly at @TelfordWrekin. A man famed for his wit and personality #RIP bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce9gp7ek…

Further reform of the Right to Buy is essential to protecting desperately-needed social housing stock and enabling councils to build more genuinely affordable homes to rent.
We’re consulting on proposals to achieve a fairer and more sustainable scheme 👇🏻

Was amazing to see @JoshFG, @Kate_Dearden and @AndyMacnae and @alison_4life with @michelle_allott at @resolveasb's launch of #ASBAwarenessWeek in parliament tonight. Some great conversations!
Every time I log on here my feed is full of non-housing stuff, much of which I disagree with. The conversation is disrupted negatively. So begins my gradual move to Bluesky which, if it works, will eventually see me leave X. Come on my journey with me: togetherkev.bsky.social

I’m delighted that Eamonn Boylan has agreed to take on the role of interim Chief Executive of Homes England.
He will drive the Agency to maximise its contribution to boosting housing supply and delivering place-based regeneration and place-making 👇🏻
