My experience of working with councils is that the councillors know hardly anything about what is going on. When you educate the cllrs the staff gets v angry. Educate councillors!

This is bollox from the Greens, passing the buck when it stops with them as the elected councillors.

#AndyBurnham This is no change for disabled people; with McFadden at DWP and Healy as Chancellor the concern is more social security cuts to pay for defence spending. Pat McFadden has kept his job as work and pensions secretary in new prime minister Andy Burnham’s government.

Also - @TheGreenParty which now runs Hackney council is at war with its own housing officers over the eviction of an 8 year old disabled boy & family from their council home. Greens don't want the eviction. Too-powerful officers do. katebelgrave.com/2026/07/q-s…

Greens are going to have to get brutal at local and national level to turn things around for people. Fannying around being nice middle class allotment types will not beat back the maniacs who really run the shop.

Definitely jumped the shark now: a @hackneycouncil officer says that evicting an 8 year old disabled and autistic boy from a stable home and putting him into temporary housing is a good chance to see if he can cope with it. What? Kill me whovotedforthis.buzzsprout.c… @TheGreenParty
