Read more@_missbeam @CASHcampaigners @deirdrecostigan Developers are also to blame for land banking. But again, it’s a rigged system that makes it more profitable for them to buy up land not to build on it. Thatcher’s (and Blair’s and Cameron’s) legacy to us all.
Read more@_missbeam @CASHcampaigners @deirdrecostigan Ultimately it’s about whether we believe in safe, secure homes for everyone. Unfortunately the system we have - supply and demand - is rigged in favour of mega-rich developers who get richer with a housing and homelessness crisis than without it.

Read more@_missbeam @CASHcampaigners @deirdrecostigan New affordable family homes for Southall people would be welcome. Many of these new flats are overpriced and/or unoccupied. People’s homes on The Crescent were compulsorily purchased and knocked down to be replaced by a new road and a developer marketing suite.

Read more@LondonFoodFinds @UKLabour @TheGreenParty Joining Ealing Labour was a political education all of its own for me. Ordinary party members were great. With a couple of notable exceptions (deselected by Mason), councillors came across as self-serving, party-first grifters who could quite easily be Tories if necessary.
