Planning rules can prevent us from living a more sustainable, and cheaper, life. Great to see Government get rid of harmful anti-environment planning restrictions.

Thrilled to celebrate the opening of Englands newest nature reserve yesterday. Huge thanks to all the partners that made it happen! Landscape that inspired Dickens made nature reserve bbc.com/news/articles/…

This issue a great example of the public being several steps ahead of politicians. The state of our high streets, and the proliferation of only certain types of shops, was one of the top issues at the general election - yet still does not receive the attention it deserves.

State Senator Aisha Wahab ę„›čŽŽčÆ argues in one part of her speech building market rate housing in rich areas is bad because it leaves out poor communities but in another part of her speech that building market rate housing in poor areas is bad because it displaces poor communities?!?

This is true, and it's *incredibly* harmful to social mobility and our economy. We absolutely do not want talented young people making huge trade-offs in career and location to afford housing.

In recent years, the increased cost of basic necessities – particularly housing and energy – has vastly outpaced ā€˜luxuries’ like holidays, clothes and electronic goods. This means that people feel worse off, even when many luxuries are getting relatively cheaper.

Housing is being scapegoated for nature depletion. The status quo is broken. Outdated agricultural practices are to blame for so much river pollution and biodiversity death — yet people wanting a home are to blame?

I have yet to hear a good response to this argument from the crowd that's monomaniacally focused on "corporate power" as the source of all our problems.
