So tired of hearing the excuse for this being "oh that's just a detail, but think how prices will fall if we just build more and more"

The utter inadequacy of the #LondonPlan equalities analysis is confirmed by statements submitted since the inspectors ordered the publication of the detailed workings justspace.org.uk/2019/02/26/… This is very serious stuff.

Hammond increases personal income tax allowances a year early, overwhelmingly benefitting higher earners. Means he could have ended the benefits freeze a year early if he'd wanted to #Budget2018

It’s a god damn crisis Karen. Your concerns about junior lawyers are true. But it’s really bad. I can tell you from first hand experience living in central London working in criminal legal aid.
If your diary allows it, I’d happily meet you to discuss/what can be done to fix.
