this is from last September
What the hell happened here? We're told that things were checked, assured that people were vetted, "nothing to see here", they say but if journalists hadn't dug it up are they seriously suggesting that someone in Whitehall would have owned up?
Local elections have become a battle to see who can oppose the most housebuilding, in some of the areas with the highest prices and most chronic shortages in England stalbanstimes.co.uk/planning/wil...
MPs should be the first to get behind a campaign like this given the number of them that can't keep their pants on. The feigned outrage of some is laughable. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Viewed this house today. Asked the agent about the brickwork on the front facade which frankly looked a bit scary and he said "what facade?" 🤔
🏴 When the owner of the property in Scotland decides to list it on the market, tenants would be given a period of exclusivity to purchase it "at a fair market rate". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
