The Centre-Right Campaign for Housebuilding
The rent is too damn high. And in much of England, we’re not building enough homes. Targets alone won’t fix it. We need to raise the baseline rate of development and persuade voters that supply lowers costs. New piece: linkedin.com/pulse/price-sa…
Housing Secretary Steve Reed is much more interested in filming TikTok videos than he is building anything by the looks of it. What a sorry state of affairs Labour have plunged our country into.
If a farmer ran their business like Labour runs the government, they’d be out of a job. Labour promised growth, but they aren't tackling the three key issues: lowering energy costs, unblocking planning, and cutting business taxes. If I can see it. Why can’t they?
The YIMBY crowd, worksinprog types & even the ‘tech right’ crowd see talking about immigration as a low status issue “High decouplers”, just as utterly status obsessed as the rest of us mammals, playing a different game & deluding themselves into thinking they aren’t
Quite an astonishing experience last night: an absolutely packed meeting of residents to discuss the 420 houses proposed in the planning application submitted by Taylor Wimpey for Manor Farm Tongham. The message from the community could not have been clearer. People are not…
This is precisely the area of discourse the Centre-Right needs to occupy. We *do* want to build at a much faster pace than current. But that also means gaining public consent for it - something only attainable by ending and reversing mass migration.
🚨NEW PETITION 🚨 2026 is here but Council Tax is still in crisis. The British public deserve better than a broken system that’s failing to fund crucial services. Sign the petition to call for a full review of property tax 👉 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7543…
This development would create good jobs, new homes and lab space for British businesses. It’s insane that this Labour-run council is blocking this. Britain has great potential. It keeps being held back.
Why have Hackney Council's planning officers recommended that the council reject the Shoreditch Works scheme, which would add 80,500 square meters of new commercial, lab and office space right next to the City? This piece is a good run-down, but the stuff on design in particular…
Your consensus is the reason why we are in this mess to begin with. Your approach has been: 1. Make it incredibly difficult to get planning for new developments 2. Import millions, supercharging demand 3. Impose on builders stupid regulations, further constraining supply.…
Renters in Hackney, this one's for you! Zak, a local renter and candidate for Hackney Central, lays out the renters’ rights Labour is securing locally and nationally.
Ambition is almost always a good thing - and we should celebrate it - but sometimes it is channelled into the wrong places. Without having pre-existing, deep-rooted communities, new cities like 'Forest City 1' will inevitably be a hotspot for existing and incoming migrants.…

NEW: 45 leading figures from academia, business and politics tell Ed Miliband "Don't U-turn" on the commitment to implement every recommendation of the Fingleton Nuclear Regulatory Review. FULL LETTER: Dear Secretary of State, We are writing to you in support of the full and…

Whether for science parks, adv manufacturing, pharmaceuticals or data centres - we need cheap energy, grid access & planning reform to make investment in industry viable. Read the report from @ukonward here.👇2/2 ukonward.com/reports/reindu…
Britain needs to reindustrialise & losing all our manufacturing was a mistake. Great to hear Jenrick make this argument on Triggernometry! Onward's report, "Reindustrialising Britain", lays out a supply-side plan to create industrial zones. 👇1/2 youtube.com/watch?v=f8qCtV…

Strong argument from Jenrick that offshoring most manufacturing was mistake. As James Dyson said, zero manufacturing means jobs in innovation & design disappear too. We need free market solutions in some areas & a strategic industrial policy elsewhere. youtube.com/watch?v=f8qCtV…

Robert Jenrick - "I Joined Reform To Save The Country"
Bob has a point, naturally. But my experience was there were plenty of people who opposed any densification measures as well. Good to see @BuildForBritain and @ukonward lead the charge here on an area where we need to learn lessons.
thetimes.com/business/compa… “I must admit that, as prime minister, I didn’t always put growth first. Early on, I watered down planning changes to appease MPs worried about the reaction in their constituencies.” Sorry, @RishiSunak, but you are missing the point. Planning rebels…

Eek - c. 150k tenants estimated to have to start paying Stamp Duty by three years’ time. That’s 2029, ie election year…
New report: a serious unintended consequence of the Government’s tenancy reforms. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary tenants will be dragged into an annual stamp duty calculation and filing regime.
This morning Steve Reed is boasting of an 18% growth in housing starts. That's 18% growth after a 50% crash. Housing starts are still 40% below the 2023 peak.
