A nice demonstration of two things: 1) De-funding the police is bad, actually, and results in more crime, disproportionately harming the poor. 2) Short-term cost-saving exercises often end up resulting in negative impacts that cost far more to fix than they initially saved.

There are some well-connected locations where London Mayor regulation requires they be used as biscuit factories and Deliveroo depots. They can’t be used for homes even though they’d rent for 5x or 10x more. This should be changed.

@Victoria_Payne “Unrestricted sprawl” is such a pejorative term, I always think. So much of the language used in planning policy tries to be neutral, but not here. We’ve got a value-laden phrase instead. Why not “unmanaged growth”?
@Samfr @MrRBourne The debate is not "are we rich because America exists" but "did Britain (and the west) industrialise because of colonialism". It is an extremely long-running debate and for the reasons I've pointed out it points towards "mainly no".
@Samfr @Sam_Dumitriu It affects policy because it’s used as the basis for moral claims that inform policy debates.
@Samfr @Sam_Dumitriu Surely these questions are quite relevant to things people care about today, though? Eg the extent to which the Williams Thesis is correct has important implications for UK foreign policy, communities policy and heritage policy, to name a few.

This is a gross erasure of how the UK built its wealth. The C of E, Guardian and Lloyds are prominent examples that openly show how our church, media and financial systems are rooted in colonialism and slavery This is not a matter of conjecture, but fact theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
@Samfr @Sam_Dumitriu Perhaps not a single factor, but one of the things I take away from the economic history literature is that we can do better than simply saying “who knows?”, and that some popular explanations are more convincing than others.

The interesting thing here is how this interacts with targets. If the green belt no longer becomes how Nimby districts say 'we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas', then lots more councils could be forced to implement local plans, boosting housebuilding in the medium term
A smarter approach to the release of green belt land is essential to building the homes our country needs. Labour will prioritise the development of low-quality ‘grey belt’ sites and impose ‘golden rules’ to ensure it always meets local housing need. thetimes.co.uk/article/0fb2b9…
