The Conservatives have effectively committed to even more unsustainable development. Building homes cannot be at the expense of our environment. We should overhaul the planning system to make our communities more sustainable. These plans would do the opposite. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I really hope the PM is serious about fixing care, and he can show it by getting on with the cross-party talks we started in July. This can’t just be a series of No10 headlines with no real action. I’ll do everything I can to put family carers at the heart of any solution.
