Not many ex Presidents would have been game to take part in Newcastle’s Lord Mayor’s parade as the thoroughly decent, honourable and fun loving Jimmy Carter did. I remember it fondly.

Does it need a Consultation/ is it required? Because the urgency of the housing crisis requires action on RTB rather than consultation on it. Otherwise a gap is opening between rhetoric of “pulling out all the stops” and a more leisurely pace in reality.

This is an incredibly powerful and succinct boiling down of key findings into a key message:
“I believe the dark heart of this catastrophe lies in this simple, depressing narrative: the state stepped back, corporate greed stepped in and innocent people died.”

A deliberate decision:
- New Towns have a long lead in time, almost certainly beyond the current Parliament;
- Excluding NTs from the 360k 'target' should discourage LPAs from relying on NT delivery in the short term.

One of the challenges in delivering an ambitious 1.5m new homes in a first term is scale,as this piece suggests.
But it is also pace. There’s a task force to determine newtown locations not due to report for 12 months. Even with planning reforms, that’s not long for designs,approval & construction.
