'£13,000 per household - the amount tax has gone up under the Tories' (using their own methodology of apportioning tax take per household). #GeneralElection2024
#Ridge: How much has tax gone up, under the Tories, since 2019? Bim Afolami(Tory): It's difficult to calculate... SR: It's gone by £13,000 per household.... £2,000 sounds like a bit of a bargain. #politicshub

Delighted that after all the hard work for RUSS, that I’ve been involved in for 6 years, these homes in Ladywell are now being lived in and I was able to help trail-blaze the new model so that the resale values are capped at no more than inflation.

They laid floors, installed piping, hung ceilings and erected frames – and that was just the easy bit. Our writer reports on a miraculous 15-year self-build that promises capped-price housing for ever

While you're celebrating the latest inflation figures...
👥 14.3 million people live in poverty in the UK. Almost 150,000 children are living in temporary accommodation. Every day, people have to make impossible choices between the essentials - deciding whether to eat, buy toiletries, or heat their home. (4/5)

Rishi Sunak says no-one wants an Election, RT if you do. He's afraid of an Election, because he will lose.

When you say “my parents worked hard to give me a good education” you’re saying two things. • State education, which I am in charge of, is bad and should be avoided at all costs. • If you’re a parent who can’t afford to do that, you aren’t working hard enough for your kids.
🚨@RishiSunak: Keir Starmer attacks me because of where I went to school. I don’t think that’s very British.

Today we're taking another important step in our Long-Term Plan for Housing, ensuring that councils across the country deliver tens of thousands of new homes for families and young people on existing brownfield sites. Brownfield land, we're upcycling it♻️ https://t.co/zkH0BMvZMV

Michelle Mone has admitted that she lied to the media over her links to a PPE firm. Enough is enough, it's time those in power put an end to this sordid affair. Sign the petition now and demand Mone is expelled from the House of Lords:

This is big: Michelle Mone is being forced to pay back £122m after supplying poor quality protective gear to our NHS during the pandemic. But she STILL hasn't been kicked out of the House of Lords....

It's not often we get asked to create a space for a grand piano but that was part our brief for this lovely home in Whitstable. See what else we created in the house on our website. #musicroom #architect #Whitstable #Faversham #Canterbury #Wye #Ashford #Kent

We support both parliamentary sovereignty & the rule of law. Parliament passes domestic laws & ratifies international treaties. The judiciary interprets & applies those laws. Parliamentary sovereignty does not entitle the government to break domestic or international law.

2/2 This model is private house builders constructing unsustainable, energy-hungry rubbish on acres of countryside, selling it freehold and pissing off with no thought for the communities they leave behind. It’s scandalous and exploitative and a terrible way to build new homes.
