“Scandal and entitlement”

You can say the same about MPs but nobody is talking about abolishing democracy

You are entitled to dislike the Royal Family as individuals or even as a component of our constitution, but denying their value and contribution to our country is not a sensible position

The Royal Family make a huge and unique contribution to the UK in terms of diplomacy, international influence, tourism, trade and social cohesion

To talk about costs without talking about value is missing the point

Most of the Royals work hard and serve our country with great distinction

We need to rejoin the European Union.

Just say it.

Hi Freddie

Our country is in the grip of a catastrophic housing crisis.

Young people and young families in particular are struggling to get on the housing ladder.

Why you do think it is appropriate to shut down planning processes altogether for new housing?

Isn’t this the worst of NIMBYism?

Good news.

Time for @rory-stewart.bsky.social to eat some humble pie and acknowledge Ed’s strengths and work ethic.

Government needs to get its act together on infrastructure. Too complex. Too slow. Too fragmented.
Huge state failure leading to housing crisis for tens of millions.
Too easy to blame developers.

No it’s not.
Poor people are not poor because rich people are rich.
This kind of far left populist Corbynista nonsense doesn’t help anyone.
