Read the comments on this thread - none positive about new housing! To have allowed homeowners to suffer the poor quality, energy inefficient, leaseholder-fraud & fire-risk laced shambles that is UK new build to continue, i must assume @RobertJenrick is both evil & corrupt.

Kevin-when you were Transport Minister you worked on Nicola Sturgeon's m/way bus lane promise, but didn't deliver. When you were Housing Minister you worked on build quality/New Homes Ombudsman- but didn't deliver. Both will have a detrimental impact on our transition to Net Zero
I am extremely concerned about the increase and expansion of the Energy Profits Levy announced today by the Chancellor. This will have a hugely detrimental impact on our energy industry and our transition to Net Zero. 1/2

Naroa hits the nail on the head. @thesnp have given up on climate action. Time for a new government in Scotland. There is no more time to waste on inaction. @MairiMcAllan @GillianMSP @JohnMasonMSP @JennyGilruth @HumzaYousaf @strathearnrose @JohnSwinney @KevinStewartSNP

What a complete mess you have made of importing & exporting to Europe- @BrianWhittle -it's an utter shambles, costly, hugely time consuming. I'm wasting time now on "Web-chat" bot at import company - and getting hit with charges. Admit the implementation of BREXIT was a shambles

Hi @JoaniReid - it's time we stopped trying to "keep in with Tr*mp" - the guy's a complete monster, and is destroying US, Ukraine, Gaza and the rest. Time to get PM to speak out against this. Who are we trying to impress? Please help these people around the world.
ICE detain U.S. citizen woman driving to work—dressed in full medical scrubs. "I’m a U.S. citizen, please help me!" she cries. "Why are you doing this to me?" Woman was dragged out of car, tackled to ground & handcuffed. Agents finally checked driver's license to prove her citizenship—and did eventually release her. DHS issued a statement claiming that she had initially refused to roll down her car window "all the way." The incident occurred near Rowell’s Waterfront Park in Key Largo, Florida. #DemsUnited

Hi @JoaniReid - once the ‘Unsealed dry-lining’ loophole is closed, families will save WAY more than £150 on their energy bills annually. Looking forward to catching up on this soon, and you can take it to @mhclg . Thanks

Drivers of Electric cars taxed for not burning fossil fuels - people flying pay no tax for burning the most per passenger mile - our approach to tax lacks consistency or logic.

Replying to @donaldtusk
You don’t need a 28 point f’ing plan. You only need a two point plan. Point One: Russia must completely withdraw all of its military forces from Ukraine and cease all hostilities, period. Point Two: An international committee will determine how Russia will provide reparations to Ukraine in the rebuilding of the country and compensate its citizens for its losses of homes and lives. It’s a rough outline, but it must be non-negotiable. See how easy that is?

Ukraine is on the brink of an historic betrayal by Trump to Putin. Keir Starmer must bring our European allies together to back Zelensky, starting by seizing frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

The Ukraine peace deal Steve Witkoff has ‘negotiated’ with Russia is seen in Kyiv as an all-out victory for Putin. Ukraine must lose half its army, accept the loss of Crimea and much of its eastern territory, and can’t join NATO. Russia rejoins the G-7 & its assets are unfrozen.

Good 'unsealed-dry-lining' meet, at Strathaven Hotel this a.m. Sorry you were unable to attend @JoaniReid @MairiMcAllan . There is a determination to rid Scotland & UK of NEW houses that have this problem! Affects homeowners wealth & health, and ability to meet climate targets.

We need to be checking this stuff BEFORE folk move in! @ScotGovNetZero @ScotGovBldgStds @mhclg @MairiMcAllan @JoaniReid . Unsealed dry-lining is potentially the greatest cause of heat loss in new homes.

We weren’t ready for a pandemic though we knew there was a high chance of one. We had an appalling death rate and economic impact. We weren’t ready for a financial crash in 2008 even though we knew one could happen. We aren’t ready for climate change - haven’t adapted, media hasn’t called out politicians - even as homes flood and burn. We are not prepared for the next pandemic though we know one will happen. We are a broken country. We are a failed country. Russia has already won. #CovidEnquiry

Hi @marksandspencer - are you still selling Israeli produce?

Hinckley Point C could cost as much as £46 billion. It will save 9 million tonnes CO2 annually. Properly sealing dry-lining would cost nothing. But allowing 300k houses to be built annually with unsealed dry-lining, locks in excess 12 m tonnes annually. (0.5t x 80yr x 300k). ??
