In my ideal world, with a few exceptions around big cities that have grown, I’d reinstate all of the historic counties as Unitarian, doing both highways AND local planning. And I’d delegate down to parishes setting local design codes within a framework set at county hall.

Two beautiful, uplifting, poetic, vitally important books – each one a must read for anyone interested in the recovery of nature in Britain and Ireland. @guyshrubsole and @IrishRainforest have helped to launch to a fast-growing European Atlantic rainforest restoration movement!
I hate living in Bath. Being able to walk, cycle, bus , scooter or float across the entire city in 15 minutes is such a pain. Through all those horrible parks and pedestrianised areas, vibrant shopping areas, pubs, cafes and restaurants. Watching kingfishers, herons, otters....

💰 Britain needs to pay its officials far more - and have fewer of them It’s mad anyone cares that 2,000 people who run a country of almost 70 million are being paid the average salary of a senior private sector manager. My latest for @theipaper inews.co.uk/opinion/ignore…

Amazing to see so many politicians coming out heavily in favour of new housebuilding. I always knew the tide would turn this way as the coalition of renters becomes bigger and more politically influential, but it's happened a lot sooner and stronger than I expected!
There's no issue as toxic for the Tories as housebuilding. Because nothing else pits their present so squarely against their future. I've written today for @thetimes on the housing crisis. But here are the key facts (1/?) thetimes.co.uk/article/cabine…
Our Civil servants are outstanding professionals. In the 5 departments I served, & in Chairing the Net Zero Review, they have all worked tirelessly & delivered. My one regret not being in government since 2020 is not having the chance to work alongside & learn more from them.
Drove past these new builds in the Cotswolds earlier. Absolutely lovely, designs like these are the best weapon against NIMBYism.
At ground level, however, the Strand is being transformed dramatically for the better. Come the spring, this could be one of the nicest public spaces in London.

I think this works out to around £5 per staff member per year on stationary. Not exactly putting a Duck House on your expenses is it?

This is nuts. You buy a flat with floor-to-ceiling glass walls in the centre of the city and next to the busiest gallery in Britain and expect complete privacy? theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

I think it's a tough call to claim privatisation didn't boost ridership. Sure, it increased costs and it might have increased fragmentation in certain areas too, but I'm dead sure it boosted passenger numbers. Here's why 👇🧵

++Hugely important new @IEA analysis++ "Clean energy accounted for 10% of global GDP growth in 2023…This analysis highlights the scale and weight of the clean energy economy. It shows that it is not only growing quickly, but also has already become a powerful economic force."…

Our car-dependent status quo is the result of decades of political choices. Challenging those choices is not about ideology. It is about common sense. (original by @nicolasblume)
Wrong. It is English culture. A challenge rowing match between two of the oldest & most famous universities in the World & with World class crews. The course is 6,779m over rough tidal water. The normal Olympic distance is 2,000m on a flat lake.
The main question about the Oxford/Cambridge boat race is NOT wether they should follow tradition and throw the winning Cox into the filthy Thames water, it’s when we’re going to STOP focussing so much TV coverage over this nonsense race that means absolutely nothing to anyone.
