We're going to suddenly build them all in the last year🤦♂️
Exclusive - how Labour plans a “steep step up” in housebuilding before the end of the parliament. Speaking to me for my new Radio 4 series, Housing Britain, ministers defend their 1.5m housing target & explain why they didn’t choose an annual figure… https://t.co/onIjqI9oaO

Modern Monetary Theory is not modern nor a theory. It is the same nonsense that every totalitarian empire has tried for centuries: believing that bureaucrats create wealth and they can issue all the currency they want. And always fail.

Gary's problem is that he's a Hedgehog. He's clearly pretty bright, but totally victim to motivated reasoning. He's found an explanation he likes emotionally, and finds ways to squeeze reality into it. There's no curiosity, he already has The Answer.
Gary Stevenson did maths at the LSE (anyone familiar with that knows it’s serious) He was a trader with Citibank in multiple countries. He has an MPhil in economics from Oxford. Issue for Stewart is: he’s a working class guy with a million followers on Instagram & YouTube.

Thinking that housebuilders and lenders are the solution to the pain of the housing crisis is like thinking a drug dealer is the solution to the pain of drug addiction. There are some mortgage brokers who understand this, and advise clients accordingly. Then there are the

@chanzczar @censoredanonz @moving_charlie In the UK, housebuilders may influence prices by controlling supply—e.g., land banking to release plots slowly, maintaining scarcity. A 2024 CMA probe investigated firms like Persimmon and Taylor Wimpey for sharing sales data, potentially coordinating prices (no breaches

Is this some kind of weird AI spoof? Did he actually double down, again, on building 1.5m homes? Literally everyone in the entire building sector and even the OBR (I think) has said that it’s actually impossible. He says that building is the only solution to the housing

UK housing is in crisis because of decades of bad policy making. The only power we have is to elect our policymakers, in the hope that new ones will make better policies. Postponing elections is totally unacceptable.

Some more random numbers allegedly on house prices which conflict entirely with other random numbers from other random lender indices. They should all be had up by the ASA for misrepresentation! The only index that even tries properly is Zoopla. Even the ONS takes the piss.

If the EU wasn’t run like exactly like an organised crime syndicate then it would be a great thing, as it once was, before corporate interests took control.

@moving_charlie For me the takeaway isn't that households on £60k are poor. It's that households on £100-150k, after cliff-edges and paying the most progressive taxes in the world, aren't rich. But "society" depends on their taxes and labour, demands more taxes, and still despises them.

The most important stuff always gets the least engagement.
One of my goals is to permanently put an end to long sole agency contracts that lock unsuspecting sellers in with crap agents and clog up the market. These should be standard terms of business for all estate agency contracts. The see-saw fee slide disincentivises overvaluing,

Inconvenient truth.
Happy Friday...and remember... - The easiest way to get rich is own assets, do nothing and let inflation do its trick - The biggest tax on the rich you could implement is end inflation - Ending inflation is the best thing you can do for the poor - Governments don't want to

Btw, that £65k household income poverty line in net, post-tax. 🤯
Just started Substack. My first post, on why the UK household income poverty line is actually £65,000 now for a family of 4.
