Town and parish council is an excellent place to get involved in local politics and to be a voice for your community. It doesn’t have to be a combative space & participation is key! @flatpackdemoc & @TrustThePeople1 have made this excellent film youtu.be/BnMuQhvnacU

An urgent need for town & parish councils, & their wider community to step up & drive the local agenda. For small rural towns, with decades of cuts already impacting, we can & must do better @BeBuckfastleigh @BflCouncil @bflpool @nesta_uk @Sumaddock @ianpitch #Buckfastleigh
Latest from me... early in the pandemic, we wondered if the huge growth of mutual aid might have political consequences. At the grassroots, @flatpackdemoc is trying to make sure it does theguardian.com/commentisfre…
