Sad to hear Starmer following the Tory playbook in blaming “blockers and bureaucrats” for the lack of affordable housing
For too long, Britain has been held to ransom by blockers and bureaucrats who’ve stopped the country building, suffocating working people’s aspirations.
Those days are over.
We will build 1.5 million new homes and inject ambition back into Britain.

From today Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums is known as North East Museums and we have a new visual identity to match.
We’ve been planning this for a while to better reflect our mission and commitments and the timing is perfect as we enter a new phase as an organisation. (1/3)
