As the Green Party conference begins, @zackpolanski.bsky.social is calling for rent controls. Meanwhile over in Labour Angela Rayner, the secretary of state for housing (who back in June took £20,000 from an anti-rent control lobby group) has ruled them out.

To those who somehow don't seem to understand: Which part of authorising weapons sales to a state committing genocide, banning the protest movement trying to stop these sales, using the RAF to provide surveillance flights for Israel and providing major diplomatic and media support is NOT complicity?
