As a former Labour candidate in Hexham (2001) I’d argue ‘Yes, Labour can win’. In the 1997 election Labour came within touching distance only 222 votes short. The current Tory government is worse than Major’s 1997 government - so yes, Labour can win … if the voters vote Labour!

“If timber frame were used to build 270,000 new homes [in the UK], we could increase the amount of carbon sequestered in UK homes to 3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.” A key finding of the APPG for the Timber Industries.

RT by @PaulBrannenNE: Jimmy Greaves picked up Terry Venables for a game at 3pm when they were both at Chelsea.
Greaves takes him for lunch first. Venables didn't want anything and was astonished that Greaves had a full roast and pudding.
They win 7-1, 5 goals for Greaves.
Football was better then.

There are any number of reasons why the Conservatives need to be defeated at the next general election but the covid spending debacle of Eat Out to Help Out is reason enough on its own. And remember this was Sunak’s own policy.

Electric logging-trucks. Good to see that this is both possible and is happening. This will help lower further still the carbon footprint of building in wood. Hopefully others will follow.

It’s impossible to both build the homes the UK needs & do it in such a way that it benefits the climate & doesn’t damage it if the housing minister continual changes.

"Eco-friendly and beautiful wooden houses enrich the architecture of Stockholm." Slowly, slowly building big with wood is happening. But the climate is breaking down fast. Such buildings need to move from being the exception to the norm & quick.

At a wood industry conference in Sweden. The UK market is Sweden’s biggest market. But UK political instability is a barrier to doing business. The UK has now had 16 housing ministers since 2016 meaning they are in post for less than 6 months. “We have insects that live longer”.
