Not just the Lakes Tim. Some 20% of Cornwall's housing is Airbnb's and 2nd houses (not homes) Now gov't want to build even more 80,000. Who for the Cornish ask? Not us we can't afford them so housing issues will continue no matter how many houses the gov't orders to be built〓〓
The collapse of the long-term private rented sector into short-term holiday lets has resulted in many people not being able to afford to live and work in the Lakes. Local planning authorities must be given the powers to limit the number of short-term lets in their communities.

'For long enough the British government has stolen Ireland’s treasures, and even our fucking food – there was no famine' Quite right there wasn't. Where did Trevelyan's corn come from? Yes Ireland. youtube.com/watch?v=sbnN3vX8…
“For long enough the British government has stolen Ireland’s treasures, and even our fucking food – there was no famine. To hopefully go over and take a few bits back the other way is a nice change. Ireland taking British awards is fucking hilarious.“ - Kneecap

Well then Jim, give Cornwall what it asks for, full devolution with no mayor or Devonwall. Put your policies where your mouth is. Cornwall has tried wrestling power from Westminster for decades. Just do it, we've had enough waffle!! 〓〓
Our agenda for local government reform and English devolution represents the biggest transfer of power away from Westminster to local communities across England for a generation. This restructuring will improve accountability, enable better frontline public service delivery, and put local government finances on a sustainable footing for the long-term.

This man is a buffoon. I'm sure most reasonable English people will be able to learn to pronounce Welsh names. How will it disenfranchise voters? Is there a test before they vote to see if they can pronounce the name of their constituency? Bi-lingual, how much Welsh do you know?
These constituency names will disenfranchise English-only speakers. Wales is bilingual and the Boundary Commission must reverse this decision.

We may not be able to comment on this dorks post but we can share our views. The country did not vote for much of what's taking place by Labour. They voted as a protest against the Tory's. Don't worry Jim the electorate will judge Labour in every council election and by- election
The work to repair the foundations, bring in consistent and accountable structures, and shift decision making outwards is not the end in itself. It is a means to realising the change the country voted for, and which the electorate will judge the government on.

Wonderful for those keeping their jobs. What about businesses that will close, lay people off or not take on new employees. Wage increase leads to NI increase, Pension increase etc. This on top of increase in employers NI. Have Labour ministers actually run their own business'?
25 years ago the last Labour Government introduced the Minimum Wage. This year we confirmed a £1,400 increase for 3 million workers on the National Living Wage. A fair wage for a day’s work, that's the difference a Labour Government makes. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/n…

Cornwall's politicians are united against Westminster governments Devonwall preference. Hopefully none will wimp out and if not agreed for Cornwall to have its own unique deal to match its NM Status Cornwall's 4 Labour MP's will vote against the Bill 〓〓 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yx…

COMMENT ON WHITE PAPER 3 Now is not the time to be defeatist. Now is the time for one & all to come together to campaign & demand greater powers for Cornwall through a meaningful democratic settlement, similar to those secured in Wales & Scotland. Cornish Devolution Bill now.

Hopefully Cornish Labour MP's will persuade the Westminster government to ensure Cornwall with its legally acknowledged national minority has a special deal. Otherwise like the Tory's in the last election they are likely to be swept away in 2029.
Following the publication of the White Paper, it was good to see MPs @Perran4CRH & Noah Law raising our national minority status with @JimfromOldham. We need to campaign to turn the minister's comment about a more nuanced approach to devo for Cornwall into something meaningful.

Newquay for example cannot rely on the tourist season which is much diminished with people staying and spending at the holiday parks outside the town. More empty shops unless people are encouraged into the town centres for shopping and leisure activities with reasonable parking.

No because too many have second houses, these are not homes. Stop this and you might allow many more to have their own home if affordable. Quotas on building unaffordable homes for developers who build affordable housing first. that'll get them building affordable homes faster.
Too many have been denied the dream of a secure home. Labour will not stand for that. Today's shake-up of the broken planning system will Get Britain Building.

On this day in 2001, 23 years ago, I was part of the delegation that delivered 50,000 declarations calling for a Cornish Assembly to 10 Downing St. Next week, the Government will publish an English Devolution Bill / White Paper. I call for a CORNISH DEVOLUTION BILL.

No! No! No! The Cornish people will never accept a merged body with Devon. Cornwall is a nation and the Cornish people are a recognised ethnic minority. Olly Monk go back to Buckinghamshire where you were born. Councillors like him must be voted out in May 2025. Kernow Bys Vykken
Cornwall councillor Olly Monk thinks a Devonwall Mayor is “inevitable” and we should look at the opportunities. What opportunities come from being run from Devon? What other nation is told to accept outside rule? It’s only inevitable if councillors don’t stand up for Cornwall!

Labour doesn't really know how to define a working person. Work all your life and retire - No? Self employed - No? Frugal and invest for retirement - No? Save to help your kid's - No? Swathes of the population will now pay more for doing the right thing! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyg…
