(1/2) The BBC did an in-depth story on Bishop @Guli_FD, who is hoping to put into action @JustinWelby's commitments to tackle England's housing crisis with the sale of Church land around core values and not just profit. Thank you @Guli_FD!

I agree with @KateNHF - next spending review is the golden opportunity for Government to kick start #NetZero housing by bringing forward the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund promised in its 2019 manifesto.

The clock is ticking, let's get going!

We desperately need more affordable housing but councils need the powers to ensure any buildings converted provide people with the dignity of a proper home. https://t.co/ifa8D7TzNK

an actual wtf economics story:

Almost half of UK homeowners’ housing wealth is concentrated in the hands of the over-65s, in a mark of how the “baby boomer” generation has benefited from house price growth fuelled by low interest rates.
