Just waiting for shmmeee to finish with it.
Get back to rubbing Starmer’s lamp before it gets cold

I think he has been rubbing shmmees lamp for far longer
But but but. Labour was a gain from the Conservatives and , as @shmmeee would say, it was in Labour’s manifesto so additional housing should hardly be a surprise,
”Labour will get Britain building again, creating jobs across England, with 1.5 million new homes over the next parliament.”
To be honest those big sprawling car oriented developments are atrocious anyway.
Whilst Rome wasn’t built in a day, it had to start somewhere.Didn't realise the next parliament had finished already!
They are ghastly indeed, but it’s what will end up being built. Edge of town, grey or green belt, will necessitate car use.They are ghastly
Whilst Rome wasn’t built in a day, it had to start somewhere.
Reeves was pleased to announce 14,000 new homes. Well, a task force to try to conclude a process for 14,000 new homes. Meanwhile, 1,400+ new homes are turned down by a Labour council in a new Labour constituency.
It seems unreasonable to crow about the former and dismiss the latter.

One rule for oil, another rule for homes.The 14k homes were ones supposedly stuck in planning. There’s going to need to be actual planning law changes, which I expect will wait for the Kings Speech.
One rule for oil, another rule for homes.
Well, not actually as the 14,000 haven’t been approved. In fact, the task force isn’t operational yet.So we're at +12,600 homes net in the first week, great start I'm sure you'll agree
Have the new rules for oil been introduced yet, or more likely it’s just on a oddballs whim.Yes that’s how laws work.

Which particular semi in Nuneaton do you think might have some direct control over North Sea oil licenses?I haven’t looked into it, but I assume the government has more direct control over North Sea oil licences than a semi in Nuneaton.
Working title of ‘The Toolmakers Son’ surely?*hastily deletes 14GB of fanfic from Notes*
Just chatting about Angela Raynors leadership interview with Campbell and Stewart
Mum and dad didn’t work, she didn’t go to university, first job as a carer then Union rep
What does she envy?
Hugs as they weren’t a part of her childhood home
No wonder the political class are after her for what she’s achieved
Love her
Wasn’t really comparing anyone else just staggered by what she’s achievedI assume you include Starmer in the political class?
Let’s hope she remembers her roots as it was the Union movement that gave her the platform to get where she is today.Just chatting about Angela Raynors leadership interview with Campbell and Stewart

Bit of both for me. They need to respect and work with her and she needs to recognise that part of her achieving what she has is down to the movementLet’s hope she remembers her roots as it was the Union movement that gave her the platform to get where she is today.

She will at least be in the room trying to make counter arguments to the Tory lite Streetings and Reeves of the cabinet. Employment rights cost nothing and benefit many so hopefully she gets her way on all of them.Wasn’t really comparing anyone else just staggered by what she’s achieved
Who was it who told me I was talking rubbish about solar farms taking up fields and asked if I had ever heard of roofs? This is 7,000 acres that will be gone.
Government approves three new solar farms that could power 400,000 homes
The new Labour government has pledged to approve many new infrastructure projects - including on green energy. However, MPs impacted by the changes have already raised concerns.news.sky.com
I guess it depends just how much land needs to be covered with Chinese solar panels. Still, if it’s got panels on it, it won’t also have houses. These projects will just cover the number of additional houses to be built per year, so no real inroad into reducing current use of carbon sources.In the spirit of (hopefully) polite debate, I did a bit of digging on this.
The suggestion that even these large solar developments are a threat to UK food security, doesn't seem to be backed by evidence. A quote from an article linked to below...
"Solar panels cover an estimated 0.1% of the country, compared to 2% covered by golf courses. As the think tank Green Alliance points out, crops for biofuel production occupy 77 times more land than that used for solar panels."
So personally, I'm leaning towards supporting government policy on this. The food security argument doesn't seem to stand up, if that's the main objection to it, imho.
It's possible to have solar farms and promote food security
It's possible to construct more solar farms while at the same time promoting and safeguarding food security, writes Hermione Dace, of the Tony Blair Institute.www.farminguk.com

Yet another vacuous interview.They take the public for absolute mugs, this is just narrative building aided by the media to justify why nothing can get better.
Miraculously under the bonnet £3bn is found for Ukraine
