It is time to understand that government borrowing for social housing is wholly different from borrowing for tax cuts, energy bill relief or banking sector bailouts. If rigid fiscal rules preclude this sort of investment, the rules should change theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Two successive years of major rent hikes and rising arrears in social housing point to a brewing storm for some of our poorest communities which is not really on the national radar. What should be done? peteapps.substack.com/p/the-problem-…
“No compelling examples” of delivery from more than £10bn in levelling up funds, some of them dating back to before this parliament, according to the public accounts committee. Just 10% has been spent on the ground: on.ft.com/3wUSvUp

This. Right now developers can sit on their hands as long as they want - because @luhc let them - and so can building owners, because leaseholders will pay the bills.
There needs to be much more proactive oversight from govt and more will from the companies involved to agree the works and get it done quickly. There needs to be some incentive to force this for those not willing. The indefinite limbo comes at a huge cost to the residents
"..completely light up the room and she's made so much progress throughout this term. Amazing!" This is why journalism is so hard right now. I'm absolutely bossing another full time job AT THE SAME TIME. No salary, it's paid in occasional ego-boosting emails.
Fire Engineer: You'll have to remove that piece of A4 paper from the wall, it's dangerous because it poses a fire risk. Resident: Can we have a fire alarm? Fire Engineer: You don't need one, these buildings are built in such a way that they'll keep you perfectly safe from fire.
Latest fire 'engineer' to inspect our building asked for a couple of A4 safety notices to be taken down. Because paper burns. I am not joking.
This is not a strategic railway. Much better: Frequent, reliable regional train from your town to the nearest big conurbation. Then a frequent, reliable high-speed train from your nearest big conurbation to London.

@DuncanStott They fell during covid, then they rose really quite fast. Landlords got used to thinking about significant rent rises each year, and heard all the stories about how fast they were rising, fueling unrealistic advertised rents and so now having to drop them.
It's an honour to be selected as @UKLabour candidate for Harwich & North Essex. People are ready for change, and I can't wait to get started.

@PeteApps Oh no! it's hard to believe that it costs more to build a unit of social housing than the sale price of many new builds, but somehow not surprising. But yeah there are so many better uses for that NI money than allowing me to buy better quality olive oil
Just me, a journalist in 2024, chasing data from a story in 2015 because I need it for a piece about for the magazine's 40th anniversary. I'm sure this will go well.
Those poor PRs dodged @PeteApps in 2015, thought no-one would ever ask again 😅
Hoping the chancellor tackles the issue of underfunding of local authorities tomorrow. They can't do the important strategic things, like bringing forward plans for new housing if their budgets only cover social care and emergencies.
2. The planning system is the biggest barrier to building the homes we need, in part because only 10% of planning departments are fully staffed. To accelerate housebuilding, these departments need considerably increased funding.
People ask me what was the hardest bit of the pandemic for you. Now -now- is the hardest bit of the pandemic for me. When the true effects of both the virus and our response to it are laid bare… 👇
These were all known outcomes of pandemic combined with EU exit (with large dose of austerity thrown in). We sat in rooms with views of Whitehall and we LISTED them. Then we wrote them up as exercise injects. I expected them to be mitigated if they hit. They were not.
@PeteApps NatFed's new analysis out this week suggests £253k for London:
The only "no go areas" in London that a Londoner would understand is Angus Steakhouse.
There are definitely "no-go" areas in London and Birmingham. It should not be a controversial comment.
