Both the US and UK have a housing crisis. But it is so, so much worse in Britain - and not just in London. Once you account for average incomes, the data is stark. (From @jburnmurdoch, as ever)

The UK is a great country with an extraordinary history. Our stagnation is real, but it's fixable and worth fixing. Enjoyed giving this talk at @lfg_uk last week and so encouraged by the optimistic responses I've had from people who are building a brilliant future for Britain 🚀
