Another one bites the dust… I think this will make for 16 housing ministers in 13 years? No doubt with another to follow next year, whoever wins the election. Not exactly a stable base for the house building industry to work with government.

[Rachel Maclean @redditchrachel]

I’ve been asked to step down from my role as Housing Minister. Disappointed and was looking forward to introducing the Renters Reform Bill to Committee tomorrow and later the Leasehold and Freehold Bill. It has been a privilege to hold the position and I wish my successor well.

@WGDavies111 Far be it for Shapps to miss out on throwing his hat into a nonsense sideshow when he could be doing something that matters… like facilitating talks that will enable commuters to actually get to work and benefit the local economies where they’re employed.

@senorelbaldi And tries to pass it off as a good thing by misrepresenting self/custom build... deeply frustrating!

[Chris Batesmith @ChrisB_BuildIt]

@LanaC @KirstieMAllsopp I think we need to realise we used to spend our cash doing what we could spend it on at the time... and the youth of today are just doing the same thing. We all need to be connected & part of society. House prices are way out of proportion with incomes, and that's the real issue

Amazing News!🎺

Build It’s Self Build Education House has won the Residential category of the RICS South East Social Impact Awards 2020 🏆 #BuildItHouse #RICSsocialimpactawards

Here’s the lowdown: https://t.co/YUqbynzB49

@British_Airways I've phoned about 20 times to claim a refund (to which I am entitled) for my cancelled @British_Airways flights, but every time I'm simply cut off - not even put in a queue. I've also emailed twice and had only automated responses. Don't expect such poor customer service from BA.

[Build It Magazine @BuildItMagazine]

Well, we couldn't exactly enter our own Awards... 🤔
