I’m pleased that sites in Enfield and Greenwich have been put forward as part of the government’s New Towns program. This is another step forward in solving London’s acute housing supply crisis.

They wouldn’t let you in though, because you would be an immigrant…

Israeli forces are said to have dropped more explosives on Gaza than fell on London, Dresden and Hamburg combined in the Second World War. The level of destruction is hard to fathom as is the humanitarian suffering. Our Foreign Affairs Correspondent @SecKermani looks at the

In Newham, Black and Asian families struggled to access council housing. The south had a greater preponderance of such housing and therefore the ethnic minority communities were initially concentrated in the north.

There's also social mobility. In the 60s and 70s, East London was full of slum housing. The docks were in decline and the scars of the blitz were still visible. Families with children moved to new towns and suburbs on the outskirts of London where there was much better housing.

In the 70s, Black & Asian people faced housing discrimination, racist violence & huge levels of income inequality. Their presence in inner city areas like Handsworth is tied to that history. If you want to talk about integration let's not shy away from talking about white flight.
