BIN THIS RUBBISH TAX! The Government is planning a 3,000% tax hike on sending builders' rubble to landfill. Joe builds homes. His costs would go up from £4 per tonne to £126! It would end his business and any chance of Britain building 1.5m homes. Sign our petition below👇

NEW from me: New Zealand shows us the route out of a housing crisis: automatic planning approvals for new homes near public transport. Labour say they want to do the same, but they've just watered down the most powerful tool that could make this happen. https://t.co/Sva4XjNpdU

Nuclear energy returning to Wales is a brilliant thing. The next step is shifting Britain's approach to planning and regulation in the direction of building safe, clean nuclear faster and cheaper. Our campaign director @sjarichards on @GBNEWS.
New nuclear on Ynys Môn/Anglesey is fantastic news. There's no time like the present to build new nuclear energy BUT the Government now needs to cut the red tape that makes it more expensive to build here than anywhere else in the world. We've got some ideas for them...

Fantastic news that nuclear is returning to North Wales. We now need to make it quicker, easier, and cheaper to build the nuclear power stations Britain needs. The SMR at Wylfa has to be the first in a fleet of small nuclear power stations, not the last.

Wales is going to be a nuclear nation again. A reminder of the economic impact 👇
When Wylfa nuclear power station closed, wages on Anglesey fell *14%* in just three years

Sign the petition. Axe Britain's anti-air con rules.

Using air con rather than dual aspect (having windows on at least 2 walls) to cool new builds is a path to bigger, cheaper-to-build homes that are comfortable in summer. Air con lets you avoid spending the money and using the space that extra windows entail.
Housing Sec @SteveReedMP: "I'm sure someone living under a bridge would rather live in a flat with windows on one side than stay living under a bridge, because the cost of putting dual aspect in the building raises the build cost by 30%."

This Labour Government is rhetorically the most pro-building ever. They've done some good things, but at current rates of building they won't just miss their 1.5 million home target. They won't even outbuild Michael Gove. https://t.co/IvWlX0vH3t

Labour pledged to create an 'automatic Yes' for new homes near train stations. They could do this by creating statutory National Development Management Policies which override local plans. Housing Secretary Steve Reed just confirmed they won't do that. Bottle, baby, bottle?

Manchester city centre population: 1990: <500🙄 2025: 100,000😲 How did they do it? By building homes where people want to live and better transport to connect it all up. We know the formula, we can do it across Britain.

Incredible... The Government's proposed reforms to the landfill tax could add £1bn to the cost of building a third runway at Heathrow

£120 million on a bat tunnel is a direct cost of bad regulation. But it's the indirect impacts of a planning system stacked against building that add costs in the billions. https://t.co/YCWsc2eM4U

Today in UK planning law ruins everything: NHS patients waiting for surgery in Lincolnshire could face a further one year delay for a new surgical centre, as the developers have to prove that they are providing "integrated bat bricks" and "provisions for hedgehogs to pass"

NEW: Britain ran a competition to pick a new small nuclear reactor design to invest in. Reactors were picked not just on value-for-money, but also on social value. SMR makers were graded on their ability to deliver a 'gender equal' workforce by 2030. https://t.co/DO6oQXH13n

Sit on a roundtable of small businesses – as I have on many occasions – and it won’t be long before the topic shifts to the maddening number of rules and regulations that companies have to comply...
