Chris Aujard was Post Office’s top in-house lawyer between 2013 & 2015. @itvnews has revealed in secret recordings he was told about the likelihood of wrongful prosecutions in 2013, but nothing changed. He’s never spoken before. I caught up with him today. He asked for privacy.
🚨 There are 261,000 long-term empty homes in England. Meanwhile, we desperately need more social homes. While nowhere near enough by itself to end the housing emergency, converting empty homes into social homes would help kickstart the delivery of homes we desperately need. 🧵
Fantastic book - should be received reading for all housing policy makers - maybe they will be inspired by the art of the possible #HousingCrisis #homelessness

Glasgow's Empty Homes Strategy has brought more than 1700 empty homes in the city back to productive use. More info 👉 ow.ly/F2Ic50Rm9ek

Cleaning of Nelson's Column. Coventry Scaffolding provided the access scaffolding for the 169ft monument way back in February 1968, which enabled stonemasons London Stone Ltd, to blast the stonework with sand and air and give the monument a nice clean look.
'I am unwilling to leave the world a worse place than I found it.' Timothy Bennet, cobbler of Hampton Wick, successfully fought Lord Halifax to regain free access through Bushy Park in 1754. Cobbler's Way survives to this day. The monument on Sandy Lane was erected in 1900.
"With 3.8m people on council waiting lists...the need for delivery of more #Socialhousing gets more urgent by the day" As referenced by @SharonStevenage our report with @Shelter shows building 90,000 social rented homes makes economic sense, adding over £50bn to the UK economy.
I went out to shoot early to celebrate our #DawlishWarren camera coming back in May this year. 5am, just over an hour before sunrise... 📸 @BeachCamsMan #bluehours #bluehourphotography #civiltwilight
Delighted to meet @elliereeves this morning to discuss the housing crisis, @CapitalLets work addressing homelessness in London & Lewisham, our exciting partnership with Home Safe Housing to secure 2,500 homes for Londoners, & bringing empty homes back into use. #homelessness

London is at the centre of the country’s homelessness crisis. For the thousands of families and children homeless and living in temporary accommodation, this is having a devastating impact. We explore the latest data: bit.ly/3xg31Wn

What do we know about the impact that Universal Credit has had? Not enough, according to @KayleyHignell. Catch up on our latest research here ⤵️📽️resolutionfoundation.org/events/in-cred…
Evidence from @HomelessLink on role that no-fault evictions play in rising homelessness. So will the government use its #RentersReformBill to protect tenants? Or how to pressure from landlords on the backbenches? Join @Shelter to keep pressure on theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Sure Start worked. It had big long term effects on the educational achievement of poor children. Its demise is a study in policy failure - over centralisation, over extension, poor data, "not invented here syndrome". thetimes.co.uk/article/sure-s…
Desperately sad news. Museums are treasure houses of objects and knowledge, founts of inspiration for future generations, places of wonder - and research. Places that invite us to see ourselves in a deep, wide context. Our society and culture is impoverished if we lose them.…

As Ben says not all spending defined as investment is necessarily good for growth. E.g. A good chunk of it is on defence: tanks, warships etc. May be necessary, but less related to growth than eg teacher pay which doesn’t count as investment.
Here’s one for the fiscal nerds: In recent years, as much as one-fifth of all measured public investment was in fact student loans (the loans the government makes and doesn’t expect to get back). The headline numbers overstate how much ‘actual’ investment we’re doing.

Our Renters (Reform) Bill has passed its third reading in Parliament. The bill will give tenants more rights and security in their homes and ⛔️ ban section 21 notices
Today the Renters Reform bill returns to the House of Commons. Watch as @JacobYoungMP sets out the changes that will: ✅Give tenants more rights and security in their homes ✅Ban section 21 notices
🚨 There are 261,000 long-term empty homes in England. Meanwhile, we desperately need more social homes. While nowhere near enough by itself to end the housing emergency, converting empty homes into social homes would help kickstart the delivery of homes we desperately need. 🧵
Yes, council building is nowhere near where it should be. Yes, private developers should build more. If we reformed planned that would happen. Yes, we should fund more social housing. And yes S106 could work better regarding viability assessments but this is disingenuous IMO.

CATCH-22, by Joseph Heller. Yossarian, a U. S. Army captain, is the only sane person in the 256th Squadron. A darkly satirical novel that plays with chronology, this is not only the finest novel about World War II but possibly the funniest novel ever written—and the saddest.
THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, by Alexander Dumas. When Edmond Dantes acquires a fortune, he changes his name and plots revenge on the men who imprisoned him. Quite simply the greatest adventure novel ever written, and a massive influence on the comic-book genre.
NORTHANGER ABBEY, by Jane Austen. Catherine Morland, a young woman whose head has been turned by reading too many Gothic novels, begins to suspect that she might be living in one. Jane’s funniest, and strangest, book.
If you enjoyed this list, kindly check out my previous list of essential children’s books—and my patreon, where I’m currently reading ALICE IN WONDERLAND and LITTLE WOMEN aloud! x.com/sketchesbyboze…
For children to flourish, they need to grow up reading and being read to. The following is a list of some ESSENTIAL books for any beloved children in your life. And they’re brilliant enough that they can be enjoyed equally well by adults.
SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT. The most fun you can have in the fourteenth century, this story about a knight who must travel across country to face his own death at the hands of a green man is full of rain, horror and jollity.
DAVID COPPERFIELD, by Charles Dickens. Possibly my favorite novel? This was the Harry Potter of the Victorian era, and featured a cast of characters that has never been equaled. Mr. Micawber, Uriah Heep, the Peggottys, Aunt Betsey, Agnes, are like old friends.
