In 2020, Adam Kiziak was riding high. His firm was flying, with thousands of commissions to review high rise buildings. By 2025, he was struck off by his professional body and subject to debates in Parliament - his reputation in tatters. What happened? insidehousing.co.uk/insight/the-ki…

Our statement as the ruling group of Preston Labour Councillors concerning welfare reform. We do not support proposals that could make disabled residents worse off in #Preston and believe there is a better way to ensure more disabled people are helped back into work.

I've worked with Shelter on amendments to the Planning & Infrastructure Bill. The developer-led model is failing working-class communities. I want a left alternative on housing - tough on developers, big on council housebuilding.

The benefits system the Conservatives left behind already fails disabled people. 75% of foodbank referrals are from households with disabled members. These dangerous cuts will push thousands more to destitution. They must not go ahead.

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill offers plenty of deregulatory carrot for developers – but no stick. I’m proposing: • Penalties for developers who sit on land after gaining planning permission. • Powers for councils to block developers that repeatedly fail to build.

Biodiversity Net Gain? Slashed. Nature-friendly farming? Defunded. Climate & Nature Bill? Blocked. It’s austerity, privatisation and inequality dragging the economy down - yet it’s our natural environment that’s being mullered to pay for it.

"There are also clashes between the Reeves and the housing secretary, Angela Rayner, over funding for social housing" ^This is disappointing. The government have promised the biggest boost to social housing in a generation. To do that, we need investment. theguardian.com/business/2025/…

The Housing Ombudsman today has reported nearly a 500% increase in complaints from social housing residents about substandard living conditions. Is the Government doing enough?

We're supporting St Mungo's open letter. As well as rethinking reforms to welfare, it's crucial the government invest in social homes to end homelessness.

The Planning & Infrastructure Bill, in its current form, won't deliver for Britain's workers or its wildlife. ​I'm calling on the Government to introduce reforms that put people and nature before profit. Hundreds of constituents have shown their support by signing my petition.

Happy to propose this motion and even happier for members to be in support. The DWP needs to immediately rethink its proposals.

We were elected to put our arm around the country - not to impose the deepest cuts since George Osborne. These swingeing cuts won’t create jobs - they’ll create poverty. It’s time to pause: withdraw the cuts and work with disabled people to redesign the welfare system.
