Great to see Angela Rayner announce new rules meaning developers must set build timelines before getting planning permission. Those who stall or speculate risk penalties or being barred from future projects.

Extra cancer scans for women with dense breasts could save 700 lives a year – UK study
Adding scans to existing screening could catch harder-to-detect early-stage cases of disease, research shows
Hundreds of lives could be saved every year with extra cancer checks for women with very dense breasts, a study suggests.
Millions of women undergo breast screening, but regular mammograms can be less effective at spotting cancer in the 10% with very dense breasts, as the tissue can hide tumours on X-rays. This is because very dense breasts look whiter on scans, making it harder to detect early-stage disease, which also appears white. Continue reading...

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.
Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.
Say equity, which a just society should pursue.
Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

It is a peculiarity of the British constitution that the viability of leaders of the opposition must be tested by their attitudes towards and behaviour in regard to sandwiches. Bagehot wrote at length about this.
