Britain once led the world in nuclear power.

Today, we’re building the most expensive nuclear power station in history.

Why? And how do we fix it?

The Sharron Davies Lords appointment sums Kemi's leadership up in that she'd rather use one of a very limited number of peerages up on a single issue campaigner, than someone that would use the Lords for the wider benefit of her party

What’s the point of a licence fee or anything like it if not to provide coverage of the boring but important stuff? Stopping Politics Live just the latest in the slow killing of any proper coverage of the party conferences.
The BBC has decided not to send its flagship Politics Live programme to party conferences this year, PolHome understands

An ex-culture secretary said it was a "further erosion" of the BBC's political coverage, and called for a rethink

Reposting this piece (from a September heat wave 2 years ago) about how air conditioning could be helpful in tackling climate change.

Air con is usually actually a type of heat pump, and can provide efficient, clean heating as well as cooling

How air conditioning could help us tackle climate change
Heatwaves always lead to debates about air conditioning. But did you know most air con systems could actually be a green and cost-effective way to heat your home?

36 degrees indoors! Have a look at the temperatures our supporters recorded at home with no air con (post a pic in the replies if you can beat them!)

Only 5% of British households have air con due to anti-air con rules.

It's time to change them and COOL BRITANNIA.

London hasn't built enough homes since the 1930s.

1937: 3 page planning application

2025: 1,250 pages (25 pages longer than War and Peace)

It didn't used to be this hard to build homes, it doesn't need to be today.

Feel like the camp, day-time tv, low culture element of Reform is a very important part of its identity as a party and political project, but undercommented on.

9th anniversary of Brexit means that nobody you meet under the age of 27 voted in the referendum.

Feels like quite an important thing to remember, really.

Interesting that the mission to land man on the moon polled really poorly at the time

We need Estate Renewal Passports to give automatic planning permission to plans residents support.

At the Aberfeldy Estate in London, a plan to turn 330 post-war homes into 1,600 new ones was rejected, despite 93% support from residents (who all get new homes).

"What do the Scottish public think about the ban on new nuclear power?"

In my latest post, I take a deep dive into some recent @britainremade.bsky.social polling to look at attitudes to the Scottish Government's effective ban on new nuclear power:

Britain’s planning system is broken, and working people are paying the price.

High bills. Low wages. Sky-high house prices and rents. A system built for blockers, not builders. It doesn’t have to be this way. 🧵

💫 We’re launching the Centre for British Progress

Our founding essay: Rediscovering British Progress is a case for growth that drives shared progress, rooted in Britain's values and industrial heritage.

It all starts with a postcard from 1870 👇

Welcome news, but worth remembering that the £300m spent on the planning application for the Lower Thames Crossing is more than it cost Norway to actually *build* the world’s longest road tunnel and the world’s deepest subsea tunnel.

Obviously the Canadian election hasn't actually happened yet, but this is yet another important datapoint against inevitability in electoral politics.
