The new government introduced a planning bill in the King’s Speech, arguing the planning regime acts as a “major brake on economic growth“.

But a number of experts were doubtful whether a major rewrite of planning law was really needed.

Since entering office, planning reforms have been central to the new government’s attempts to stimulate higher economic growth.

This is such an interesting piece by @stokel on the Footy Scran account on @CityAM. The quality of the food at some of the football stadiums should warrant a 'i'm here just for the food' ticket.

The headline fall in price rises has been championed as good news by Rishi Sunak. But Brits may feel somewhat less cheerful about inflation.

Rishi called the election because the data yesterday was not what he wanted to see.

Enjoyed speaking to Tim Lankester about his new book, Inside Thatcher's Monetarist Experiment. Particularly interesting given current debates about the money supply and inflation.

The fact remains that people will feel poorer at the end of this parliament than they did at the beginning. This is not a happy set of circumstances for a government seeking re-election.
