More kick-in-the-teeth than "shot-in-the-arm" for all those wanting decent quality homes that everyone can afford in London - it shouldn't need to be said that in an ever heating city having more than one window in your home should be a basic right https://t.co/qKN0769wvV

We hear more about Grey Belt than brownfield despite the Government's brownfield first policy so @CPRE's report on sheer scale of brownfield capacity (enough for nearly 1.5 homes) & how much is shovel ready is both timely & important https://t.co/guIpacQpNk

If @SteveReedMP believes"Giving communities more power is why I am in politics" then returning Government support for the direct community power that is #neighbourhoodplanning would be a good place to start or is it just about local government & mayors? https://t.co/sHe9Q99Oka
