The house building companies already have vast amounts of land they own with planning permission in place. They restrict the amount of housing they build to artificially keep the prices high, if they build too many, the prices they could sell their houses for would drop, reducing profit. These are private companies and the government has little control over them. This is why every government for the last few generations has promised more houses and delivered nothing.
When we again weigh each sensitivity by the percent-area for the Earth, our global average ECS is 7.2 °C per doubling of CO2, much higher than the most recent IPCC estimates of 2.3 to 4.5 °C and consistent with some of the latest state-of-the-art models which suggest ca. 5.2 °C
2.3c means crop failures and food shortages globally. 5.2c means the end of our civilisation. 7.2c means the end of our species.
Makes me laugh that she thinks calling Tennant Rich is an insult when Sunnak is literally richer than the King
Withdrawing in Clacton but fighting in Bristol Central, as if we didn’t already know what this Labour party stands for now.

Just hedging his chances, if he doesn’t win he wins his £8k bet, if he wins then his nose is in the trough at Westminster. It’s win/win for him (and lose/lose for the public)
The problem is, there is a demand for them. The parents are choosing to send their kids to these schools knowing what they are.
Personally I would ban all private schools and ensure ALL children went to public school, this would ensure that the kids had a good rounded education, as well as ensure funding was adequate as the rich kids would go there too.
Yes, thats what will save the Tories, a new leader…
The Workers Party of Britain springs to mind
BrewDog is a marketing company that just happens to sell (bad) beer.
It’s astonishing they can be so bad at marketing
I’m surprised there hasn’t been more of this. The extreme parties (both left and right) tend to attract the even more extreme to their banner.
The winners have to tread a careful path between placating their members and appealing to the general populace. I think this is one of the reasons why Labour will win, the centre ground is where the leaders of our country should be, people tend to want “normality” what ever that is.
I also think we should have PR instead of FPTP so the extremes at least get a voice in parliament rather than throwing bricks from the sidelines.
We have a traditional compact with voters. They might suspect that we are self-promoting posh boys and money-grabbing wotsits, in politics for no good reasons. But if we are bstards, at least we have been competent bstards, ritually elected to clean up after Labour’s habitually profligate compassion. The last few years have ruined that. Without competency, we are just b*stards.
This quote right here shows that what voters suspect, is in fact true.
As for “Labour’s habitually profligate compassion”, oh no! Not compassion!
Just need to learn to lip read
Thats V2
Starmer purged the left wing from his party, he can’t be surprised when they don’t vote for him.
We’ve decided to go ahead with this, fire over a DM and we’ll get the community set up
I’ll have a chat with the other mods and come back to you
We are not against it, but it needs careful consideration due to limited server resources as well as limited user attention (we are a very small instance compared to others)
I assume it will be an expensive treatment
Thanks for your support, it’s really appreciated
I’m in favour of a Land Value Tax, this means hoarding land becomes expensive. It also means grouse moores and golf courses become expensive (good things in my mind)
