Is this acceptable?
Since 1990, Spain has built nearly 7,000 miles of motorway.
So ... what about the UK?
We have built 422 miles of motorway in 35 years.
35 years – 422 miles. Thats only twelve miles every year.
Why have we stopped building?

@markrwilliamson @ga_richardson For every penny spent investing in Cambridge, the economy would get pounds back. If we could build enough houses to affect house prices, it would boom.

Up to £50bn of investment could be required to properly fund the government's Greater Cambridge growth plans, report says.

This would fund six Type 45 Destroyers, or 12 Frigates in our Royal Navy...

Three of Starmer’s nominees have already been brought down by revelations about their pasts.
No one - literally no one - believes that the rest of us are here “through public service and merit”. We are a collection of quangocrats, trade union dinosaurs, councillors and ex-MPs.

This is the biggest reform to our Parliament in a generation. 🇬🇧 This morning, the 700-year-old system of hereditary membership in the House of Lords was abolished. Membership is now earned through public service and merit, not granted by an inheritance. ✅

An important Brexit dividend is the ability to diverge from EU regulation on Artificial Intelligence.
It wasn't envisaged ten years ago, but is becoming increasingly useful as UK becomes home of talent and regulatory stability.

BREAKING: London is named as the most powerful European AI hub! Strong overall contenders also include: Paris 🇫🇷 and Stockholm 🇸🇪 Sector-specific contenders: Cambridge, Zurich and Munich for robotics, defence, and life sciences 🇬🇧🇨🇭🇩🇪 Europe is a great place to build - they just need much more entrepreneurial talent and investors in government.

@JeffDGlazerite Great to see a success story. Shame it is so rare these days.

Why is this?
High service charges (£8,700 a year for a 3-bedder 🤯), and concerns about cladding post Grenfell.
All this makes it unsurprising that London housebuilding has collapsed - down 72% in just a year!

London has built lots of flats…but few people want to buy them
Since 2014, some 20,000 flats have been completed in Wandsworth. But nearly 40% of modern flats there have sold at a loss in the last 5 years

@spectator There is something anti human about airports. The lighting, the queues, the indignity of security, getting there, the anti comfort measures purposely weaved into everything.
English
When was the last time you were shouted at by a stranger wearing a lanyard? Or spent hours in a crowded public space with low ceilings and no natural light?
Or paid £8.50 for a Pret sandwich? I’ll wager it was in a British airport, the unnatural habitat of humiliation, discomfort and rip-offs. Not to mention ugliness, rudeness and inefficiency.

@createstreets I don't think so. This is pretty much what city planners are trying to do these days

Illegal urbanism. This street with its generous 1st floor windows, tight form, simple surface & lack of parking would be nearly impossible to create in Britain today.
