This injustice is on a much smaller scale than #PostOfficeScandal but reveals the same tendency for the elite to bulldoze the 'little people', lie to cover their tracks, and believe they can get away with it. We have the evidence and we’re ready to share it with you...

I attended this protest to report on it.
The idea that officers were "assaulted" is difficult to believe.
The vast majority of protesters were in their 60s, 70s and 80s - including many with physical disabilities.
By contrast, there were about 50 police officers, most of whom were massive blokes who were shoving people out of the way and showing no respect for elderly people.
The protest has now concluded with a total of 152 people arrested by officers.
The vast majority of arrests - 134 - were for expressing support for a proscribed organisation, under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000. This included two people arrested for attempting to put up a stage at the event.
4 arrests were made on suspicion of encouraging or assisting a crime, under Section 45 of the Serious Crime Act 2007.
A number of officers were assaulted while making arrests, but thankfully none required hospital treatment. Two people were arrested for assaulting emergency workers.

Half of England is in drought after record-breaking heatwaves, yet most of our media want to talk about the "problem" of refugees whilst giving airtime to absurd & dehumanising policies from Reform UK.
Politicians who scapegoat refugees and migrants have no interest in making your life better.
If they really cared, they would take on corporations holding this country to ransom.
They would end the daylight robbery of privatisation.
And they would tackle the real cause of society's problems: a grotesquely unequal economy that sucks wealth away from the majority to an elite few.

In Wigan, Reform won 96% of the seats on 46% of the votes.
In Westminster, the Conservatives won a majority on 35%, while @TheGreenParty won 18% of the votes without gaining a single seat.
The time to change the voting system is *now* @MakeVotesMatter
After seeing our evidence, @dougbuist & @ElinRKingston (Lib Dem) called out the £1bn Landowner’s “unfair eviction of local businesses and charities in Old Paradise Yard”. We’re non-party political but, after other Parties failed us, we hope for the Lib Dems' continuing support.
We’re strictly non-party political but we thank @sianberry (Green) for her open letter to the £1bn Landowner. They ignored most of her questions! Her London Assembly successor picked it up but ran out of steam. Will any politician put Community before Billionaires? More tomorrow.

Lambeth politicians stood by as a £1bn Landowner evicted 30 small businesses & charities as punishment for speaking out. We’re non-party political but is it healthy - and what can we do - if a Party closes ranks to favour Billionaires over Community? We review other Parties next.

We told Cllr @ibrahim_Dogus (Labour) a £1bn Landowner was “attempting to bully businesses into silence”. We begged for help "which you are best placed to do.” We’re non-party political but why re-elect a Cllr who stood by amid a Billionaire's punishment evictions? More to follow!
A Ward Councillor reviewed our evidence (see earlier posts) and agreed to help but Lambeth Council Leader @clairekholland (Labour) stopped her. We’re non-party political but did elected politicians close ranks to favour a £1bn Landowner over wrongly evicted tenants? More to come!
