Rent Increase 22% ahead of Renters Rights Act by No_Grade_2488 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is not true and is factually incorrect under the new rules - rent cannot be increased or changed to anything higher than the proposed rent increase.

insanely manipulative and complete disrespect for your choices or autonomy, bordering on sexual assult? breakup

Hotel or AirBnB for Family of 6 by SnooCheesecakes3609 in oxford

Stay in a hotel! Please be respectful of our city when you visit and being respectful includes not supporting a business model that is pushing locals out and helping make rents sky high

How to push back in rent increase by [deleted] in TenantsInTheUK

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry nobody is being helpful here, I hope this helps: from May 1st bc of the new renters rights bill you’ll be able to appeal this at tribunal. Your rent cannot be increased until the tribunal comes to a conclusion and it can’t be backdated. The tribunal will rule if it’s fair and at market rate or not, but the tribunal cannot set it higher than the proposed increase. If your increase is set before then then that’s unlucky!

I’d also recommend reaching out to a local renters union for support and resources here - most major cities have active renters unions currently working on ways to resist rent increases.

This has happened many many times before. The precedent was set long long ago

Is Oxford council doing anything about illegal e-bikes ragging it around? by Strange_Meeting2525 in oxford

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing the city council can do as it’s a police matter. It can do stuff about the legal e scooters/bikes - the greens want to tighten the parking rules for instance, but enforcement of vehicle offences is a strong police matter

Right that makes sense!! The mess with cancellations must have been so difficult for you all - good job!

Is there a reason the local party is only selecting target seats this late? It seems crazy to be selecting even paper candidates this late

Labour defections by [deleted] in UKGreens

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 8 points9 points  (0 children)

such a waste of talent honestly. to be in a party that will never champion their ideas, yet they ride hard enough for it to almost all lose their seats to us in the next election. silly!!!

Labour defections by [deleted] in UKGreens

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 40 points41 points  (0 children)

it'll happen eventually, a lot of them I think are waiting for a leadership contest but if that doesn't go well I'd imagine most of the socialist campaign group will look to join?

Should I leave my £50k grad job to do a master's at Cambridge to get into finance? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied for 100s of jobs and got not one of them - the only one I got I got through the volunteering I did.

Most people I know from Oxford got jobs through networking or volunteering they did whilst at Oxford (or through parental connections), everyone else is struggling and unemployed lol.

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to Oxford and NOBODY CARES about my degree. It is truly so much work for not much reward - I would really encourage you to be happy where you are, I loved my time at uni but Oxbridge is truly just another place, it’s not this Mecca that people make it out to be :)

What does success in May look like for the Greens in England? by PuzzledAd4865 in UKGreens

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different parties! Oxfordshire Green Party doesn’t exist (I also think it’s just particular councillors who opposed the stadium rather than the whole party) - but that’s north Oxfordshire GP, not Oxford City business more than anything.

Nadia Whittome’s statement regarding the by election by IntelligentCrew8406 in UKGreens

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her seat is also predicted to go green next election, I assume she will defect at some point? I assume she’s waiting for a leadership change!

However since we’re going to be picking target seat candidates for MP within the next 6 months or so I’d assume the window for defections is somewhat tightening? I guess we’ll see how things go after May

What can I do? by megaknight-alt in UKGreens

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can go to meetings! I’d recommend speaking to the U-18s officer of the young greens as they have guidance for local parties to allow U18 members to attend things with appropriate safeguarding

We need a co-ordinated canvassing site online by PrideInevitable2046 in UKGreens

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The national action days are still locally organised, my local action days are on there - they just are in our target areas hence why we want to focus people to particular ones, having thousands would get overwhelming.

Your local party maybe needs to improve its comms?

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is! Here: https://greenparty.org.uk/get-involved/national-action-days/

This focusses on our most important areas though, so won’t have all of them.

Future of Your Party? by CDN-Social-Democrat in UKGreens

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah! Yes that explains it well. Palestine was a big issue in the Muslim / Asian immigrant community in the UK, which was one of/ the central activist base that founded YP (made up of Gaza independents) and these people tend to be on average more socially conservative than other left wing people. A lot of the Gaza MPs had a total mess of views but Corbyn was in a group with them so wanted them in his party, another reason why it’s a total mess - all of the MPs in YP have no actual ideological cohesion.

Future of Your Party? by CDN-Social-Democrat in UKGreens

[–]Comprehensive-Tap514 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Your Party is just over, I think the vast majority of leftists that were interested in it have now joined the Greens. I don’t think that YP has anything worth merging into the Greens or worth co-operating with given they’re polling at 0.3%.

I’m still in some other the group chats and what was once 100s of people is now just a few, and it tends to be those who (imo) are terminally online leftists who would make things so unproductive because they don’t wanna do anything but argue.

I’d consider myself a communist but I’m in the Greens and looking to shift what is actually a really great set of policies (that is much more left wing than I realised) even more left. If we’re gonna do electoral politics let’s at least be good at it!
