Well said, that man! A calm, quiet explanation of the real impacts of blocking new homes. 30 fewer homes to protect a sightline 2,500ft away means 30 more families suffering the indignity and stalled life chances that inadequate housing gives you. Nothing more, nothing less.

When we cut 30 affordable homes to protect a distant view, we’re not preserving heritage, we’re preserving a housing crisis 👇
Working class folk don’t shoplift, just the feral underclass.
Lovely bit of public realm improvement here working with the local primary school. In the grand scheme of things this stuff costs councils peanuts but it makes a real, tangible difference for ppl. It’s a tragedy that so little of this gets done by local government these days.

Gentle reminder that despite Truss trying to act as an insurgent outsider, spurned by the establishment, she was a government minister for a decade including in the Department for Education. You could literally have just done this yourself.

Lots of left of centre discourse around the cost of food & essentials, agricultural policy and “profiteering” from the likes of Tesco, Sainsburys etc would be improved if people understood this v important fact. British food is CHEAP!

Piece of evidence number 733892: cuts to local government are turning England into a de-developing country.

Her 315th criminal offence (155 thefts), committed while on a suspended sentence and still no prison time. It simply beggars belief how the British justice system treats repeat, serial offenders at the expense of normal, law abiding citizen’s quality of life.

Many such cases where other countries care more about investing in the UK’s devolved nations and regions than the actual elected government in Westminster.

“Yes yes I know that me and my colleagues actually served as ministers in the government that impoverished Britain’s public realm, broke public services and made you all poorer, but you have to understand that we didn’t believe any of that and have now changed completely” Joker.

So inflation down to 2.6%, wage growth at 5.9%, growth up, waiting lists down and probably another rate cut to come this summer. Think the obituaries for “Rachel from Accounts” may have been premature.

Thank you @NewcastleCC for my friendly “take out the blue bin please” reminder! I am a big fan of this new email/calendar reminder service! 👍🏻
Another grim development in our increasingly low/no-trust society but hopefully one contained to London. Thankfully haven't seen anything like this in the provinces just yet.
They should make a Netflix drama about why we should axe the triple lock.
