Bringing back hope? My reflections for @btrnews247 on Andy Burnhamn's approach, the UK's housing culture and the changing nature of housing need. And how can Build to Rent (BTR) and Rental Living help people, places and the economy into the future? btrnews.co.uk/article/can-an…

What do we know so far about the ambition and priorities for the new PM’s administration, and how can BTR help to change the culture around housing growth?

Rather than dismissing as 'bad apples', playing the victim or random whataboutery, surely a better line to take would be to illustrate the vast majority of 'good apples'? I wonder why they feel unable to do this..?

Is anyone aware of any good apples in this particular barrel?

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

If he wins, he's beaten a bin. If he loses he's been beaten BY a bin. Basically, it's a bin/bin situation.

Two people knocked on my front door today - one the postman, the other a separate delivery driver. Not only did they clearly know where I live, they expected to talk to me too. Am I actually being hounded, but didn't even realise..?

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better. But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

The most unbelievably self-centred statement. Quite apart from the fact-checking that needs to occur, what an almighty whinger Farage is. Any credible candidate for PM would need a genuine appreciation of the need for scrutiny and a much thicker skin than he displays…
