@TN_officialmiz @liam43102 This has little to do with train operators and much to do with infrastructure which would require the government to invest billions in capacity upgrades

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@SimonZev @TheOfficeofMS It hasn't happened because London housing is well below demand, thanks in part to the constant blocking!

This is a circular argument (limit supply against rising demand > complain prices are rising > limit supply as unaffordable)

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@s8mb It's challenging to evolve a culture where increasing the cost of organisational change isn't correctly recognised as increasing the cost of *hiring*. You see this in the UK debate on employment law.

@markydh @lewis_goodall @SadiqKhan @tomcopley All regulations are a trade-off, and you could always go further. Yet when you stop building during a housing crisis it might be time to consider what's truly necessary

@GjMcGowan Even better you'll get a credit card shock when it renews next year 😂

@khalnero @gettagripfolks The narrative before 2012 was "take the loan, even if you don't need it". The changes to the system offered little choice to people who had seen people born a year earlier benefit!

@johnnygf @s8mb I was building and running online forums before 16. This is like not learning how to use a mobile phone because the telegraph exists. How do you even enforce this?

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@s8mb Political arguments aside, all of this is effectively unenforceable.

As kids we were building our own software, deploying it online!

Concerning that the UK solution is all too often removing rights from citizens because the core problem is too challenging to manage.

@roar_offreedom @thomasknox Wigan is an interesting example because of Manchester, which has seen growth that hints at a brighter future. Central Manchester's success will surely help Wigan in the long run

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@JedPenberthy Really interesting, as fans we wouldn't have recognised the challenges with anxiety behind the scenes. One of the best to play for us.

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@chas_newport @markjenk Oh, so WFH presents an opportunity to cut overheads such as office space? This isn't an argument against it.

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@phildavies1995 @AaronBastani @sammueltr The margin of that vote doesn't really fill you with confidence that the party has turned the corner.

52%/48% in British politics is a pretty cursed result 😂.

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@JohnScott817587 @J_ECFC There's a risk here that fans assume the loan market will simply send an excellent GK once again. We've been quite fortunate in the last few years!

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@RoddyFor @neilbridgeman @Mike96W @tomhfh We had a vote called a general election. The party supporting house building has a majority in parliament. The London Mayor can overrule the council. You aren't arguing anything of value here, just an emotional appeal about architecture.

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@neilbridgeman @Mike96W @tomhfh I'd be perfectly happy because I live in a global megacity not a farm house in Yorkshire, Neil.

This attitude would have blocked St Paul's being built.

@past_sunderland @nufcpb - 102 points
- promotion
- excellent goals per 90 minutes in the league compared to other strikers

"atrocious"

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@Mike_Willis01 @riversorare @CHinchliffMP How can we redistribute houses that haven't been built? Any housing policy that doesn't include construction is deeply unserious

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@rchieyes @LabBeyondCities So Labour but with more NIMBY, degrowth economics? Not convinced myself!

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@BenECFC1904 True, and 12th in the form table over the last 10 games isn't terrible. The argument that the club has no ambition, given our training ground and squad investment in League 1, is more emotion than fact.

Yet the tactical approach is losing fans and feels unsustainable.

[Henry Porter @henrysporter]

@gingertrvlguru @rcolvile @MayorofLondon @jimwaterson Yeah, I really don't think the mayor is the problem e.g. Westminster council or Tower Hamlets.
