Housing? Nope. Ugly? Yep. Heritage? Wrecked. Carbon? Tonnes. Daylight? Blotted out.
The river’s string of pearls - St Paul’s, Somerset House, National Theatre, majestic views from Waterloo Bridge - to be joined by lopsided, behemoth towers of…more offices https://t.co/YyaWeC4JzI

@56aInfoshop And all thanks to Steve Trump Reed, who chaired the VNEB Board in the crucial years when the plan was cooked up for this grand larceny of public land handed over to billionaire bullshitters building high-rise swanky safety-deposit boxes in the sky

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I have no words anymore.

States. Must. Intervene.

This isn’t genius, it’s leadership.

1. Impose an arms embargo and cut trade.
2. Break the blockade with your humanitarian navies.
3. Send a protective presence to Palestine to ensure Israel dismantles its occupation NOW.

Narrowly focused Treasury wonks driving planning reforms?? Madness. Is it any wonder we have 172,000 homeless children in the UK, and have lost 25% of London’s industrial land to investor landing-strips of unaffordable housing? https://t.co/9DCwUbpp07

[Just Space @justspace7]

Social housing requirements? Halved
Access to daylight? Going
Housing space standards? Going
Biodiversity? Gone
Green Belt? Gone
Gardens? Gone
Developer’s 20% profits protected? You betcha

‘Labour have lost control of development in #Southwark, and residents are the ones paying for it,’ says Lib Dem leader at the council

There is a clear pattern of @SteveReedMP looking people in the eye and making promises that he completely bulldozed over months later.

Journalists- This needs more attention.
Residents- We need to let our collective anger unite us in action. ✊

2. We were asked to look at this back in 2017. Lambeth have known about this situation for a long time. Why didn't they do anything about it.
3. The internal audit in 2021 provided substantial assurance!: https://t.co/oA1PEYAejP Clearly something went very wrong here.

[Peoples Audit @PeoplesAudit]

This press release from #Lambeth is a convenient smokescreen for its mismanagement:
1. Why is its management agreement with LEMB so weak that it can't take any action? That is not a problem with legislation.

@zoekennedy What are they doing?

[WCDG @WCDG6]

@lambethshambles Lambeth haven’t built one single council home in 5 years, but are threatening 6 estates with demolition for over a decade and have been systematically emptying some of them - at least 90 council homes on Central Hill estate alone boarded up

@floboflo Do you mean that Roman/ Saxon/ Viking/ Norman/ Huguenot/ Jewish/ Irish/ Caribbean/ Bengali/ Indian/ African/ European/ Ukrainian city which acts as the world’s laundromat, washing clean international tax-dodgers and hosting assorted kleptomaniac’s loot?

I was never more appalled than when I saw Pret A Manger in Paris.

[Zoe Kennedy @zoekennedy]

Seriously, how has Labour not sorted this yet

[Danica Priest🦇🦎🦇🦎🍃💚🍃 @DanicaPriest]

Only 2% of people want environmental protections weakened. Imagine if the government passed legislation that catered to other 2% groups like people who never eat fruit or DnD players.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.

Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.

Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

[Danica Priest🦇🦎🦇🦎🍃💚🍃 @DanicaPriest]

Labour MPs and volume property developers sure do spend a lot of time together. Did you know ministers refused to meet with a single ecologist about the planning bill? No wonder it’s a developers charter. A real lose lose unless you’re a greedy developer CEO.
