You can just do stuff.
LFG Manchester’s Hackathon showed we CAN do stuff to solve problems.
Some were still students; others had been building software for decades. Most had never met, but all wanted to do something to improve our country.
They each brought a problem that they thought needed fixing.
By the end, we had six prototypes.
👉 A student triage app to bring back students to school
👉 A Live UK fuel price tracker, so you can see the differences in price
👉 MixMatch, a nightlife finder to match people’s vibe
👉 An AI chatbot to help with marketplace listings
👉 SmallTalk, rewarding you for talking to new people
@thewritingdev even went to Downing Street.
Too many have got used to thinking someone else will rescue Britain.
Nobody is coming. Nobody will save us unless we ACT to end decline.
The tools are there. There are no longer any barriers. All it takes is deciding when to start.
Because you can just do stuff 👇
Yes, there might already be a Bradford - Leeds railway.
But not a regular metro service when you have slippery rails. A fifteen minute frequency, now every hour.
A tram service would not only offer metro stop spacing, but valuable resilience.
Can we build it? Yes we tram.

2006: Tram approved
2026: Tram still not finished
Why?
The Council are prioritising the interests of an organised NIMBY campaign over the people of Edinburgh and Granton.
This has to END.
LFG Edinburgh has been campaigning on the tram for two months.
They’ve had support from the local Granton council, residents & other transport groups.
Today, local MP @tracygilbert72 joins our campaign.
Support our local chapter. Share this video.

Why won’t they build this?
Granton is a neighbourhood in Edinburgh.
It’s one of the most deprived areas.
It has serious issues with unemployment and lack of opportunities.
A tram was proposed to go from the south of Edinburgh, terminating in Granton.
But… there’s organised opposition!
Ok… why are they opposing it?
Because it runs down the Roseburn Path.
The path is actually a disused railway line. Trains used to run on it.
Yes, you read that right.
A bunch of rich NIMBYs have decided to spend the time to protect a… disused railway.
What’s even worse is that the path that’s currently there would stay!
Granton was promised the tram.
We need to ignore these blockers and just get on with it!
Do you agree?

It's a choice.
Decline is not inevitable.
Two years ago, the co-founders of LFG sat on a sofa and launched Looking For Growth.
A month later, they held their first event.
Over 1,000 people signed up.
People see, and feel decline.
Litter on the street.
Potholes that never get filled.
Reporting a crime just for it to go unsolved.
None of this is normal, and people are sick of being told it is.
We’ve changed minds and the law.
Last month, 14 LFG policies became government, Conservative or Reform UK policy.
LFG is THE movement for growth.
Personal growth.
Social growth.
National growth.
Economic growth.

Our movement is GROWING. Be a part of it.

Manchester. One weekend.
A room full of people who could have been anywhere else.
Nobody asked them to do it.
They took time out of their weekend anyway.
To build tools that cut through bureaucracy.
To help local bars survive.
To catch students before they fall through the cracks
It’s time to end the decline.
Full documentary coming soon.

Two years ago @isnit0 and I sat on a sofa and launched LFG.
We thought we'd get maybe 50 people in a pub. We had 1000 people sign up within days.
Now @lfg_uk is larger than any of us. Chapters across the country. Over 20,000 people have taken actions for LFG. National policy change after policy change. Between 2-4M social media views every week. Several events on average *every week*.
Thank you to everyone who has taken part in this. We're building the agency engine to reject decline and the constituency to force our political parties to finally choose growth. Lots more to do. If you want to throw in, as always, shoot me a DM.
2 years ago.
Since then...
👉 Over 20 policy wins on energy, infrastructure, regulation & crime.
👉 Over 100 million views on social media, including over 80 million this year.
👉 24 local LFG Chapters.
👉 Endorsements from Labour, Reform, Conservative & Liberal Democrat MPs.
👉 Covered by every mainstream media outlet.
More to do. LFG 🚀🚀

This is decline.
Britain used to build over 200 miles of rail every year. Trains ran as soon as the tracks were finished.
We finished building the Oxford-Milton Keynes railway in December 2024.
Almost TWO years ago…
So how are services getting on?
Well, they aren’t.
That’s right. The line is built. The stations are built.
But a union dispute has blocked all passenger services.
You paid over £1 BILLION to build this line.
Passenger services were due to START a year ago.
We invented the steam train.
We can do so much better.
What do you think?

One thing said to me as I paint over or clean off graffiti is that it *will be back again tomorrow*. But its just not the case I've done this for years and it rarely happens. These doors in Walsall were done in 2023 & remain clean. It's an excuse really to not bother tackling it.

LFG is becoming a national organisation.
Local chapters are cleaning parks & streets, building software to solve local issues & running campaigns to force politicians to ACT.
Each chapter has a captain & team of volunteers who ACT to end decline.
Last week, we were in Edinburgh, Birmingham & Croydon.
This week, we are in Leeds, Westminster & Newcastle.
Are you joining us?
Under 1 week to go, see you all there.
Save the date.
27 October 2026
Be there.

You can just do things, LFG West Midlands has proven that.
Join us today; lookingforgrowth.uk/get-invo…
This is how we grow Britain.
LFG West Midlands started in a pub.
Since then, they have organised more socials, clean ups and a hackathon where they developed an AI tool to make it easier for residents to access public information.
Tonight, they will show it at their Birmingham Tech Week Fringe Event.
Nobody asked them to do any of this, and they did it anyway. Growth needs all of us to play a part.
We cannot all push it to someone else.
They are ordinary people with jobs and families who decided to fix things where they live.
So, if you have one spare hour a week, what are you waiting for? ⬇️
