In the 1700s and 1800s, English and Irish developers laid out hundreds of garden squares, though there was no planning requirement that they do this, and though they never made any money on them. Why?
We begin our analysis with a simple observation - that the decline in UK electricity availability, which started in 2006, coincided with the start of structural weakness in UK productivity growth (2/16) #productivitypuzzle #ukeconomy
This map is very revealing for what it says about how the US sees Europe.
One of the most striking themes in Keir Starmer’s speech today — his frustration with Whitehall For weeks I’ve been asking Labour people what they make of their time in government and one sentiment comes up again and again: “Dominic Cummings was right”

Bam! And that, my friends, is how you deregulate. No endless consultations, no turgid white papers, no 'stakeholderism', no imperceptibly nuanced changes that in practice means nothing changes. Just sweep it away. Build, baby, build!
nice expensive paving you've got there... would be a shame if successive utility companies were to dig it up and not bother replacing it 😏 (2009, 2017, 2021)
I want to offer a short theory of why this has happened, not because I'm sure I'm right but because I want to test it more broadly. Fundamentally, it's about the structure of the State and how the Conservatives have failed to reform it. /1
Millions of words written about the apparent collapse in Tory support, but so much of it just glosses over the fundamental reason. The government has overseen the worst real wage growth in centuries and collapsing public services. It's economic project has objectively failed.
As Labour looks for new town sites, and how to make HS2 work, might I suggest Calvert, where HS2 and EWR cross? 5km radius population is only 7,000. Land rated poor for farming. Huge transport capacity. You could fit a city the sized of Rennes (250k) here. @s8mb, as discussed!

Maybe the green bit never really existed, puffed up statistics from over extended banks?
This is appalling. It’s as if by focusing on ‘process’ and ‘best practice’, we’ve lost sight of humanity and common sense.
