Renters' Reform Coalition @rentersreformco.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Polling expert @steveakehurst.bsky.social says rent controls are "pushing at an open door." 85% of renters want rent controls. So does our coalition, think tanks, and policy makers. When will the government listen? @jrf-uk.bsky.social @ippr.org @neweconomics.bsky.social @persuasionuk.bsky.social

This formally radical sci-fi film imagines a world in which human life follows a compulsory rhythm, with any deviation determined by an all-seeing machine. Made two decades ago, the film with its vision of automated governance now feels eerily contemporary! #Aachen #FilmFest 27Sep shorturl.at/MOMHf

The UK government, the Opposition, and large sections of the UK media have enabled the rise of violent racism in the country. It is time for a firm and principled stance, and an organised and robust pushback against those funding and fuelling it.
