Welcome to The Great British Breakdown. Where trust is crumbling, especially among Reform voters – and everyone still wants cake. But if you want to restore trust, you need the right ingredients.
Over the last three years, housebuilding in London has collapsed. Molior recorded just 2,158 private starts in the first half of 2025, around 5% of London’s (low) targets, and still falling. What is going on? I have posed this question to numerous specialists, most of whom…
From @EllieCraven__ : The quiet collapse of Welsh education conservativehome.com/2025/09/04/ell…
The Government has proposed a seemingly innocuous tax tweak on landfills that could ruin housebuilding, the 1.5 million home target, and large infrastructure projects. The alarm bells are ringing on 'rubbish' landfill tax changes 🧵
Great to be on @BBCRadioWales to talk about @ukonward's new paper Devolved to Fail. But disappointed to see the @WelshGovernment is still shirking responsibility for failing Welsh children👇(1/3). ukonward.com/reports/devolv…
🇫🇷 Vindication for Nicolas, trente ans👇 This is why @ukonward published The Anti-Social Contract this summer ukonward.com/reports/the-an… We have to build homes We have to cut immigration We have to reform pensions We have to make raising kids more affordable We need growth
This Watermelon is crushing Britain. What you’re about to see should terrify every taxpayer...
🚨 NEW: What is really happening to Welsh education and why are Welsh children severely underperforming? And where will Wales be by 2040? Our new report at @ukonward reveals all 👇 ukonward.com/reports/devolv… (1/11)
What if the public is a lot more pro-building than generally thought? That's what new Public First research finds - young people, Labour supporters and Londoners are most likely to be YIMBY. They're just not making their views heard to local councils. publicfirst.co.uk/wp-content/upl…
This is precisely the kind of person who should be banned from driving for life, as per our recent @ukonward report - Cleared to Kill. Instead, she will be free to kill again.
Dangerous drivers who kill or seriously injure others are routinely let back on the road in England & Wales. Lifetime bans are VERY rare. Even the most deadly repeat offenders who kill while driving *more than once* avoid lifetime bans. Stats and case studies below. 1/10
🚨Loophole Nation lands today from @ukonward. Our temporary visa system is meant to ensure migrants are able to support themselves. But creeping judicial activism under the ECHR has created loopholes that allow the path to settlement to be fully-funded by the taxpayer. A 🧵
Our video on pro-parent policies is being blocked for some people by the Online Safety Act (because it features a very cute baby and her mum, @PMArslanagic) If you don't have a VPN you may be able to view it here: youtube.com/watch?v=l21qif…
Bang on from @KemiBadenoch 💥 We need: 1. More Homes 2. Tougher Borders 3. A Growing Economy The #buildbabybuild 🧢 movement is here...

Another welcome key shift in language here from @JamesCleverly: It's no longer "build homes where people *want* them" It's now "build homes where people *need* them" Suggests prioritising building where demand is high - as opposed to listening to a vocal minority of blockers!

"Tories need to remake the argument for conservatism and capitalism...and build more homes. They must also cut red tape to enable Britain to build vital infrastructure to inculcate a new generation of optimism" Very encouraging stuff from James last year 👇

Meet @MrSimonDudley - he is minted. Over the last year, all his rich friends have left the UK. So, how do we get them back? Introducing the Prosperity Package 👇
Today at @ukonward we published Generation Extreme, a new briefing based on @StrategyMerlin polling. It reveals striking support among young people for authoritarian ideologies and modes of governance, from net positive views of communism to backing military rule. 🧵/
