Call me cynical, but I’m not convinced giant concrete balls covered in moss will “motivate people to take action against the climate and biodiversity crises”

Are you saying wheelchair users should be denied access to houses because of your aesthetic preferences?
My father-in-law is a builder. It is difficult to get his attention in a magnificent space because he is lost in wonder.
We were standing in front of some Georgian townhouses together years ago and I asked him what it would take to build it today. I will never forget his answer… 'We can’t, we wouldn't get permission for the windows or the steps.'

There is no evidence of sustainability regulations ‘shutting down’ brick factories
- embodied carbon isn’t regulated in the UK.
- 75% of new homes are built of brick
.. These regulations are not helping sustainability & have helped shut down our brick factories risking 8,000 jobs.
British brick production has slid down ~32% from two billion bricks a few years ago to 1.3 billion bricks in 2024. All Stoke MPs are hopefully aware of this... @gareth_snell @AllisonCGardner @david4lcs

The Times & the Telegraph now in full grip of Misan derangement syndrome. Send help.
It’s almost as if a black man with outspoken views on Gaza is some sort of target? 🤔
So, I see there’s yet *another* attempt by Danny Cohen to get Misan Harriman sacked. First the Times, now the Telegraph.
Thing is I’m sure these are his own views & not those of his employer, a billionaire who bought a TV station at Netanyahu’s request.

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my
profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours:
“On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists.
Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.”
It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

Highly recommended, Pavel Otdelnov’s 'Estates: Fragile Utopia' - 'an artistic investigation of post-war British council housing as a material residue of a now-fractured social contract'. At Lewisham Arthouse till the 20th.

delighted to be talking with the peerless and indefatigible @Victoria_Spratt at the first ever @Barnsburybookf. About housing, injustice and the forthcoming We Were Promised The Moon. In which she asks: were young adults mis-sold a future?
