This move is fine, but while the Government still levy 20% VAT on refurbishments against 5% for new builds, it's a bit of token signalling. Source: The Architects’ Journal

You do not gotta hand it to the IRA but you do have to concede they were doing actual murderous terrorism, so it seems somewhat unusual that we are treating anti-genocide activists and members of the public protesting like they are literally terrorists seeking to destroy the state.

Good to see a new Government review launched on foreign £ in UK politics.
It should go further though. Last year, I launched a Parliamentary petition to ban ALL private £ in uk politics.
This would be hugely transformative. It got debated in the Commons & a review was mooted.

Labour's gormless tactic under Starmer puppet master McSweeney, is always to shadow the main opposition. It doesn't work but he presumably thinks it won him the General election (it didn't).
