The series started with the worst ever faithful and the worst ever Traitor and ended as a death match between the best ever faithful and the best ever Traitor. Peak TV.

@feedthedrummer Another shocking stat from the same polling... Of the two in three young people who borrow to cover their housing costs, one in five are using payday loans.

This is outrageous, and a direct consequence of decades of politicians taking the cowards way out when it comes to the need to build more houses and build to rent. Anyone still doubting the seriousness of this or immediate need to get our cities building again need to wake up.

Would like more pieces on the lessons from an example of a progressive governing well rather than another one on lessons from a good campaign. Save the latter for three years time.

Great to join the @LondonAssembly Planning and Regeneration Committee today to talk about the need for more housing in London, how to encourage densification, and how to make sure young people and renters aren't shut out of the planning process

All anti-politics movements successful enough will inevitably face this, some may transition to more practical minded management but an awful lot will be shocked by the realities and feel lied to by their own side.

Reform-led Kent County Council has officially had its own Jackie Weaver moment, in a leaked vid to @guardian The council leader mutes another councillor, a few on the call challenge her leadership, and one says β€œI’ve worked my arse off and I’m still getting a rod up my backside”

A mysterious expert in submersibles was interviewed by the Coast Guard during the Titan investigation. His name is redacted, but we barely get into the interview before it becomes obvious who it is.

Stockport has the second most expensive homes of Greater Manchester's ten boroughs. It is 15 years since they last adopted a Local Plan. They have a 1.77 year housing land supply. And yet this foreword makes it clear they are very, very reluctant to do anything about it.

Steve Reed understands this and Labour YIMBY understands this. If you don't smash the barriers, you don't build, and if you don't build, communities are forced apart through soaring costs and poor quality and degrading homes and homelessness soars.

There's no divide between communitarianism and YIMBYism. YIMBYism recognises that mobile workers are part of the community too whose interests aren't being heard. New Towns are a perfect symbol of where the two meet, building communities not just places.

National renewal means more homes, more jobs, and more money back in working people’s pockets. But to get there, we need to take on the blockers. We are cutting red tape to get Britain building.

The Conservatives put barriers to you getting on the housing ladder, held back economic growth and doubled homelessness. This Labour Government will smash down those barriers for you.

There are many factors that dictate when home buyers decide to buy, but I'm going to politely suggest that anything Kemi Badenoch says isn't one of them.
