You could literally just read the rest of the interview with Badenoch in the Times from 2024, where she makes it very clear it's not an impressive achievement because there was only one other entrant.

Reading were docked 18 points in total for 4 offences between 2021-24. At 4.5 points per offence, I make Man City in line for a 513 point deduction.

Governments shouldn't just criminalise things, they should actively work to prevent those crimes occurring. Which is in part why we have single sex spaces.

Because people with XY chromosomes are more likely to be the perpetrators of violent and sexual crimes, whether they are wearing a skirt or not. Safeguarding principles means we aim for harm reduction for the more vulnerable group by limiting areas of risk

Just wondering, how many more women would have to be a victim of sexual assault, voyeurism and harassment before you would deem it an issue worthy of government intervention?

"Nine out of 10 changing-room sexual complaints relate to incidents in unisex facilities — although they make up less than half of all provision." From FoI requests into council run leisure facilities in 2018. There were 120 incidents in mixed sex changing rooms in that single year...

I had to sit on the floor of my local delivery office last month and refuse to leave until someone would go and look for a missing parcel which turned out to have been left in the back of a van for a week.

completely misses the point about mortgages - the lenders don't look at the outstanding debt total, they look at the monthly repayments relating to affordability stress testing. Which this proposal makes worse.

The number of men replying to this with variations of "But Helen", or "So tell me, Helen" precisely underlines the point. Intolerant misogynists hiding behind a veneer of being progressive.

It's about protecting single sex rights so we can provide safe spaces to tackle many of these issues. How much are you doing, or do you only think about it when there's a chance to pretend you care at all about women's rights?

Resi planning consents peaked in 2019 and then had a brief rebound in 2021. Highest number of up-to-date local plans was in 2019 at c.50% of LPAs, now fallen to less than 30%

000

achnein.bsky.social @achnein.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

They broadly did until 2019/20. Then lots of further attempts at reform gave LPAs a reason to stop progressing local plans, standard method for housing need stopped being so strongly based on market signals, no one got a grip on nutrient issues and consents have since dropped off a cliff

Affordable housing requirements do include social rent as well as affordable rents. Depends on what the LPA tries to negotiate through the S106 agreement.

achnein.bsky.social @achnein.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Any regulated tenure that will be owned/managed by a housing association or council. Could be social rent (c50% of market rent) affordable rent (up to 80%) or shared ownership. All of which will be sold by the developer to HAs at 40-80% of open market value.
