An act of self harm is never wise. I’m hoping some adults eventually turn up and start helping make decisions

I confess that given the downward pressure on social housing rents & the relentless additional demands to improve existing homes, new supply is likely to suffer making this laudable aim unattaible. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I have had lots of angry consultants on LinkedIn as a result of this exact same post. Angry isn’t very professional but that aside it’s baffling why they say (without knowing the case) it must have been us, the applicant, that did something wrong. It’s like change worries some

It’s a horrifying truth that we experience such significant planning delays & even lose affordable homes because of newts. When children have to stay in temp accom so that newts can cross a former car park, you know the planning system is currently bonkers thenegotiator.co.uk/news/land-ne...

This is scandalous & totally unacceptable. This is why we have a housing crisis. I suspect that house prices and house types will bear no resemblance to housing need & local earnings either. Shameful www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In tbe midst of the biggest housing crisis the country has experienced, the @bbc focus on the NIMBYS & omit to pick up just how schockingly low the affordable housing number will be. The media needs to be better informed & curious. That aside Hoorah….a planning consent! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Arsenal winning that game is hugely important for a number of reasons. Not least getting closer to Liverpool and beating our north London rivals. Gabriel was key but boy, we so need an out and out striker.

A truly jaw dropping interview this morning, humorously recounted. But on a more serious note, I was shocked by just how emboldened he is and how freely is expresses his dark thoughts. Jenrick shape-shifts on air with reality-bending Today interview www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
