This is one of the many reasons Reeves et al should have just raised taxes right away once they’d “opened the books”. Most voters are so out of it they probably think Labour have already raised taxes because “that’s what Labour does”.

The Uk has million and millions of workers in low pay jobs who could switch to a much higher paying construction job if there was an expansion in the construction industry.

My mother put it more politely and less combatively than this, but as she rightly observed, it is a really striking bit of 'the UK housing shortage' that essentially I live in *the same flat* that I was born in. She was an arts administrator raising a child alone!

Basically he didn't realise that he wasn't in a Yank airport, and so went landside instead of following the purple airside Connections sign. Once you've done that then pretty much everything else that happened follows (except that Central to T5 trains should be at a 15-min interval).

Am I going crazy or do you actually not need a ticket to travel on the trains between terminals? What would be the point of giving out free tickets?

So Noah Smith somehow got lost travelling from Dublin to Paris and almost lost his connection. I’m trying to work out what went wrong here.

Also the whole “queuing up for a physical ticket” is odd. Aren’t all the inter-terminal trains in an open, free travel area?

I don't quite agree on the Renters' Rights Act: I think it is helping to create the conditions for amateur landlords to be replaced by build-to-rent, and e.g. Lloyds. This is good for *most* tenants. But Labour seem in denial about its very real costs for tenants right at the bottom:
Lloyds quietly builds £2bn rental portfolio to become major UK landlord
UK bank has acquired 7,500 homes for rent since 2021 as it seeks to diversify income
