President Trump says that if the Taliban don't return Bagram airbase to the US, "You're going to find out what I'm going to do"
That's one way to win a Nobel Peace Prize

29,000 planning approvals for new homes in England last year.
Must build 300,000 to hit target of 1.5m by 2029.
UK lacks capacity:
World's biggest importer of bricks
30%-40% cement imported
Shortage of labour, materials
No govt addresses long-term issues, all make populist promises.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

New homes being built in areas not connected to sewage networks.
Politicians bask in claims of new homes. Infrastructure follows years later, if at all - public transport, GPs, hospitals, schools, nurseries, water reservoirs, waste disposal.
Need planning, not deregulation.

Labour promised to restore nature. ❌
Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it.
We offered solutions. We’re done waiting.
Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species.
Without significant change, it must be scrapped.

The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Worth noting that Einstein was hounded by the authorities in Nazi Germany, and was given shelter and, ultimately, citizenship by the United States.
Seventy years after his death, it is academics in the U.S. who are seeking shelter abroad from Trump's fascist regime.

Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955.
It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mc².
