Anyway, if you’d like to know why abolishing not proven is the right thing to do, see here: www.uofgschooloflaw.co.uk/blog/2021/12...

My view is they're trying to fix the wrong problem: They focussed on supply-side planning reforms that will be important over the longer-term but appear to not realise that what we are actually facing is a more immediate crisis in demand at current prices and rates. builtplace.com/market-comme...

MHCLG estimating that "196,500 net additional homes have been delivered in England between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025". The numbers are heading in the wrong direction for the government to get anywhere near their 1.5m target and they'll be lucky to hit 1m at this rate.

You just know the first draft headline was "struggles" before it got to an ed

It's not difficult. People we disagree with shouldn't be murdered; but their being murdered doesn't mean that we must pretend to agree with them.

Total bullshit, this. The U.K. government should (it won't) step in.

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

Good Reuters article on the sheer extent of excess capacity in China's auto industry, and why it is so hard to resolve. Reuters is becoming the go-to source on excess manufacturing capacity. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Paternity leave continues. Lots of daytime TV. Deliberately not looking at any UK economy news. I do however see room to combine the two.

Wait, didn’t we find out that Cook didn’t do this?

Pulte’s pursuit of Cook has had a lot of unintended consequences.

(Bloomberg) - US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent once agreed to occupy two different houses as his “principal residence” at the same time, mortgage documents show — the same kind of contradictory pledges that .. Trump has been using to try to oust .. Lisa Cook. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?”

“Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?”

The silence is deafening. A lot of people are feeling anxious and scared tonight. For their loved ones. For themselves. For their community. For their country. For our country. Those who lead us must use their voices, unequivocally, now.

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them. This is getting very dark, very quick.

My mum gave me 'Crime of the Century' to listen to when I was 15. Hooked instantly. Spent hours and hours on the piano perfecting 'Rudy', 'Asylum' and the title track. Am sure there are lots of piano players out there who play a little bit like Rick Davies, and that is a great tribute to him.

Fed Governor Cook declared her Atlanta property as “vacation home,” documents show. The document appears to help Cook’s case, said two real-estate experts who aren’t involved in representing her. www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

New piece out today on recent market moves. Key takeaway is that we shdnt be surprised UK borrowing costs are high given inflation struggles & reliance on foreign investors. Much of this is not about govt fiscal policy BUT risks mean a decisive response is needed from the Chancellor, BoE and DMO.

How do you answer your phone?

Another of the classic "let's pretend globalisation doesn't really exist" takes. I have a different idea. How about instead of denial, we actually try to understand the modern world. Not catching on as yet tbf... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Here's part of Peter Mandelson's birthday message to "my best pal" Jeffrey Epstein.

EXCLUSIVE - Today the Guardian is publishing the Boris Files A trove of leaked data from the office of Boris Johnson. It reveals how Johnson is using the relationships forged in the UK’s highest elected office to facilitate his personal enrichment. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Well thanks for that

Oh dear.

Radical right accommodation really does not work. New paper out with this exceptionally talented team @katharinalawall.bsky.social @robjohns75.bsky.social @drjennings.bsky.social @sarahobolt.bsky.social @zachdickson.bsky.social @danjdevine.bsky.social & @jack-bailey.co.uk doi.org/10.31235/osf...

There’s a dormant London Centric Twitter account I set up and barely used, which still has all the default settings including notifications. Anyway this is the second time today it’s pushed a Tommy Robinson tweet at me. Given millions of Brits will have the app, god knows how many are getting this.

CAN YOU IMAGINE CALLING FOR SOMEONE TO BE ARRESTED FOR A TWEET?!?!

🚨I'm absolutely delighted to announce that the brilliant Cameron Barr, the former Snr Managing Editor of the @washingtonpost.com, has joined @millmedia.bsky.social as our first Investigations Editor. It's a huge win for us and for local journalism in this country. pressgazette.co.uk/the-wire/med...

Decent rally in long-end yields today (spot the odd one out, Japan) Just in time for everyone's big thought pieces on the long-end selloff to publish

What has happened to All Bran

Not very flattering

"US truck makers look for cover as Trump's tariffs raise costs" www.reuters.com/business/aut... "Companies with a higher manufacturing footprint in the US than in Mexico are at a relative cost disadvantage and this is the complete antithesis of what the Trump administration wants" 😲

Why even small-scale local levies could make a big difference to local areas, for the MJ Visitor levies, business rate supplements and land value capture - give places the tools they need www.themj.co.uk/getting-fisc...

Openness about mistakes is a huge asset for any news organation in the Shiteocalypse. Even if morons are bound to pounce on them.

Photo of the Day. If you had suggested anything like this before November’s election, you would have been accused of being hysterical. Taken on Tuesday in Washington D.C. by J. Scott Applewhite for Associated Press.

Utterly predictable... from 2021 👇

While relatively small gatherings of far-right protesters are reported as the start of some kind of national civil revolt, much larger protests on other issues are routinely ignored at best, and openly demonised at worst www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/anywhere-b...
