Why do the policies announced at party conferences always seem to unravel so fast? The key thing to understand is that conference announcements are completely different from everything else you will hear from the government…. a🧵.

Bookmark this thread now: an invaluable resource for great ideas!.
With planning reform once again on the agenda, now seems like a good time to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a while - write a series of posts about how we can rewire the planning system for the digital era. I’ll add links to this 🧵 as I post them over this week.

A real honour to be on The Expert Factor (one of personal favourite podcasts) with wonk legends @PJTheEconomist and @DrHannahWhite Thanks for having me on to spread misery (and a little hope) about the state of the housing system.
A proper expert with us this week to talk about housing policy, and what actually needs to be done to, among other things, the planning system to promote house building. Truly fascinating discussion with @tobylloyd.

All very good points - it's easy to complain about the over-mighty Treasury (as I do) but we have to understand the powerful reasons why it stays that way.
The disadvantages of the Treasury model that I worked in are well-documented. Nobody thinks it is good. But any serious analysis of alternatives needs to consider why they haven't been implemented yet, given they've been well-known. Because the status quo has 'advantages'🧵.
