London Mayor Elections

Only 38% turned out for last London Mayoral election, six in ten voters stayed at home.

Housing is one of the great issues in London with many dwellings being bought by Foreign capital and listed in tax havens. Empty safety deposit boxes in the Property Ponzi Scheme. Who would you say would be more inclined to solve the problem?

The Conservative Party has billionaire scion #ZacGoldsmith who has a mansion outside London. Labour has #SadiqKhan who accepts donations from Property Developers.

Green Party Candidate is #SianBerry who is part of #GenerationRent.  Campaign meetings are harder when you live in an attic room

Join the #RedLines: Solidarity with #COP21 Paris Activists

Join the #RedLine: Solidarity with #COP21 Paris Activists.

Join our red lines action!

As the UN climate talks in Paris draw to a close, activists in Paris, despite the state of emergency, will be finding creative ways to make their voices heard and to remind the world of what is important - that there are 'red lines' that cannot be crossed if we are to have a just and liveable planet.
In London we stand in solidarity with those activists and their freedom of speech. We stand with negotiators from countries whose very survival is threatened if average global temperatures rise more than 1.5C. The pledges countries submitted going into the climate talks would take us well past even the 2C warming agreed as the absolute limit to avoid catastrophic climate change. And we stand with everyone ready to take action in 2016 to keep fossil fuels in the ground, and keep us from crossing the red lines.
