So many people's lives will be transformed by the certainty of these homes - healthy, safe and surrounded by nature! theguardian.com/artanddesignā¦
Today's Guardian - "YFH is expected to give a shot in the arm to most big housebuilders, such as Persimmon and Bellway." This scheme mustn't repeat Help to Buy in prioritising big housebuilders' shares at the cost of people finding genuinely affordable homes
Help to Buy was accused of helping the āalmost owningā at the expense of the āalmost homelessā.
Will Your First Home be different?
@harperingon examines what the Labour Government needs to learn from its predecessor.

So much of this speech is very personal for me- but the amazing thing is I think it will be as personal and touching for millions of other people around the country. That was a moment.
And as a carer for a child with an EHCP and in EOTASā¦ this is getting absurdly close to home at this point. Rather glad I made those trips to Makerfield, tbh lads
Burnham the first PM to recognise prevention is better than a cure? We know it works - itās not a theory. @SadiqKhan already showed we can reduce the burden on A&E wards like the one toxic air put my daughter in theguardian.com/environment/ā¦
Iām not in Liverpool because Iām balancing caring for a 100 year old today before driving across the country tomorrow to care for a 84 yr old with dementia. So, yeh, here for Burnhamās speech
Burnham committing to big change over ten years while trailing that change with immediate policy that lead to it. No VAT on energy bills ā¦. renewables not tied to gas price. Everyone In ā¦ā¦ A new generation of social homes ending child homelessness š
Somewhere on the internet is a 6 yr old video of Burnham and I discussing how Everyone In was working and how we needed a new era of social homes as the permanent solution. And I canāt find it for love nor money.

RNLI volunteers put themselves in harmās way to save lives. They should never face abuse or threats for doing so.
That includes the crews based on the Thames, who respond to hundreds of incidents every year.
They deserve to be thanked, not attacked.

Farage not thinking it fishy when a supposed English public school-educated money bro doesnāt know a black velvet? Deserves what he gets
Guys. The vehicles in London are compliant with ULEZ. And the voters in London with vehicles know this as they donāt get fined. This wins over nobody who can vote in London.
Issue 1. We did it. It worked. Vehicles driving through London are now 98% compliant. It polls positively in inner and outer London.
Issue 2. No one in London reads the Telegraph. Not even the editor
The dude didnāt blink. Now these kids have a brighter life ahead of them. Some will have a future life when they wouldnāt have. Political choices matter
š„NEW RESEARCH: Scientists say they've been "stunned" by how quickly young children's lungs began to recover and grow after @mayoroflondon's ULEZ scheme was introduced in London.

Anyone thinking our economy is helped by back to 19th century technologies is not serious about our society or growth - this is spot on by @SadiqKhan theguardian.com/commentisfreā¦
āI firmly believe access to nature is an issue of social justiceā - ten years of ambition to clean and open up Londonās precious waterways. Everyday bold ambition from @SadiqKhan and @metecoban92 launched at the West Reservoir london.gov.uk/mayor-launchesā¦

Why is it we are a country that is simultaneously lying awake struggling to stay cool in yet another record-breaking heatwave, and unable to get a grip on soaring bills in freezing temperatures? No matter what the weather, things feel broken.
But North Sea drilling is STILL not the answer to our energy problems. My article for @politicshomešš¾

Great words on housing. Not a new view for Andy. I attended a post-Covid roundtable with developers, banks etc. and saw how much he got and argued for regional focus on social housing over raw targets based on a flawed ātrickle down housingā model
