This is dishonest. The purposes of greenbelt is to protect local identity and tp stop sprawl allowing towns to merge. It isn't for enjoyment - we have parks, National parks etc for that. "Low quality" is also misleading, scrub etc is often high quality for wildlife

The green belt can often be low-quality land, poorly maintained and rarely enjoyed by Londoners. Development on carefully chosen parts of the green belt - done in the right way - could unlock hundreds of thousands of good quality new homes for London.

No I haven't. And this isn't something the PM should be involved with.

Have you tried to get tickets for your favourite artist only to find massively inflated prices as theyโ€™re resold by ticket touts? Today, we set out plans to fix that and we want your views.

Earlier you were railing against net zero. Perhaps you and your Reform mates could put 2+2 together?

Nope don't want this. I can cope with the Gregorian calendar just about but some things should stay odd.

A lot doesn't seem to work in the UK just now but at least we can still organise polling stations where you just turn up and vote without queuing for hours.
