@Maltby523 @GayTory The question is why? The reason there is generational property inequality isn’t fundamentally because of the tax or pension systems.

@Maltby523 @GayTory This isn’t a simple generational question because of the role of immigration in the last couple of decades.

We are rejecting the outdated model of multilateralism that treats the American taxpayer as the world's underwriter for a sprawling architecture of global governance. President Trump's withdrawal shows that the era of writing blank checks to international bureaucracies is over.

Around the introduction of GDPR: US investors stopped investing in Europe, but increased their investment in the US. European investors stopped funding startups both in Europe and in the US.

In the 1700s and 1800s, English and Irish developers laid out hundreds of garden squares, though there was no planning requirement that they do this, and though they never made any money on them. Why?

We begin our analysis with a simple observation - that the decline in UK electricity availability, which started in 2006, coincided with the start of structural weakness in UK productivity growth (2/16) #productivitypuzzle #ukeconomy

@samofsamshire A lot depends on the build quality. If it’s just brick cladding then they will look terrible before long.

Bam! And that, my friends, is how you deregulate. No endless consultations, no turgid white papers, no 'stakeholderism', no imperceptibly nuanced changes that in practice means nothing changes. Just sweep it away. Build, baby, build!

@SchwitzerEd @jhallwood Realistically the only solution for a badly-designed building is air conditioning, also known as an air-to-air heat pump.

@SchwitzerEd @jhallwood There are different factors: insulation, thermal mass and solar gain. If you only optimise for warmth in winter then you can easily create a property that overheats terribly in summer. Insulation to keep the heat out doesn’t work if the property becomes an oven.
