🚨NEW: Britain's economic watchdog, the OBR, is considering downgrading the 0.2% GDP growth forecast it had attached to Labour's 1.5 million new homes target due to far fewer homes being built than they expected

“Tax and spend, with better TikTok”
That’s the utterly damning verdict of Andy Haldane, once touted as Andy Burnham’s friend and economic adviser.

One of the charts I discuss in the post. That's a hell of a change in a single generation.
New post:
Young people are increasingly unhappy. It's a real phenomenon + nothing to do with "snowflakes".
There are lots of standard culprits - social media, school, economy - but none explain the long-term trend.

A 128 page application from Hackney council to Hackney council for a space in a residential block to be returned to its original use as a 1 bed council flat. Councillors sent application back for more work.
A clue to both inadequate housing stock and feeble productivity.
NEW: This is a story about just how hard it is to build in Hackney
Hackney's councillors failed to approve the council’s own application to turn ‘community flat’ back into a one-bed council flat.
– The application ran to 128 pages
– "Community Involvement" started 2 years ago
– The replacement meeting room is a four-minute walk away
– Councillors still spent 90 mins debating it and then demanded the council come back with more evidence

Who drives decisions on Soho’s future? This nagged me during paternity leave so between night feeds I analysed the text in 1,639 decisions: each contested licensing hearing, every refused planning application, and every application that drew public comment 🧵

Super evening yesterday. There's no question - the appetite to invest and build in London is there, but we need a Mayor and City Hall that shares this appetite. I do.
Big thanks to all our guests who attended. What an inspiring night. The future is bright 💙
This is landlordophobia.

The brownfield plans from Reform/@TiceRichard are really interesting/ambitious. Strong overlap with @CPSThinkTank/@ukonward paper on London housing, which he spoke at the launch of housingtoday.co.uk/news/refo…
