Eastbourne is a perfect example of Blue Wall race-to-the-bottom NIMBYism. Lib Dems and Tories both enraptured in anti-development populism, completely unconcerned about the housing destitution right under their noses.
NEW: Latest @TheNewsAgents Investigates - Britain’s hidden homeless children Nearly 140,000 kids in Britain are now homeless, in so-called “temporary accommodation”. We went to a school where half of the kids don’t have a home to call their own. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

This is an inaccurate headline that will only fuel community concerns. The decision to cover the memorial was taken by park authorities, not the police. As the paper’s own article makes clear, it is a precaution Royal Parks have taken for a number of different events.
Your periodic reminder that England, a windswept nation with more potential for onshore wind power than almost anywhere else in the world (other than Scotland), banned new onshore wind farms in 2017.
Race weirdos will be like “white people are the only race not allowed to have a strong in group preference!!” And expect me to see that as a problem with white people and not everyone else. Like nobody should have that actually.

If you think it's all "greedy landlords" who control rent levels, ask why landlords in, say, Hull don't decide to put them up to the same rates as London landlords? They aren't all philanthropists in Hull - they are just aware that demand is less strong.

Xenophobic immigration restrictionists and “deport the illegals” white nationalists have no place in the YIMBY movement. When they show up in your comments demanding a Reasonable Dialogue about reducing housing demand, tell them to fuck off before summarily blocking them.

Since combining my old pensions just over a year ago I've gained more in value than the one with Royal London that I held from 2010-15. Gains on my combined one: 16% Gains on my current work one: 3% Auto-enrollment and workplace pensions are thieving shithousery
This ordinary suburban London 3 bed house in Zone 4 metroland was built in the 1930s for ordinary middle class families. Today it costs almost a million pounds and you’d need to be in the top 0.5% of earners to be able to buy it on a mortgage
Over the years I’ve lost two friends, one Palestinian and one Lebanese, and nearly lost a third, a French cameraman, to the willingness of IDF soldiers to open fire even though they knew perfectly well who they were. But they felt sure their superiors would protect them.
Trans rights is maybe the most obvious right and wrong of the prominent issues of the day All they want is to be allowed to live their lives and a bunch of weird bigoted assholes are trying to drive them into the closet and to suicide Crush the transphobes. Trans rights for all

a really funny phenomenon is that landlords and investors will just straight up write what their risks are in disclosure statements and the financial press and a certain segment of the left will still go "no, they are wrong, the key to housing affordability is _______"

This is what a lack of regulation looks like, a landlord has the power to kick you out and find someone who can afford to pay 30% more. This behavior has no room anywhere, let alone the private housing sector. It's extortionate and dangerous.
yesterday, as i was moving the final things out of my home following my eviction, a guy turned up who turned out to be the new tenant. turns out the landlord has bumped the rent by *£700*. a 30% increase. the greed and cruelty of landlords in this country is outrageous.
