I know people that work in the sector. The pay and conditions are crap and the employers are greedy. Another area where privatisation has failed.

A band D property at £1020.35? In Lutterworth the same band D is £2376.38 and in Marchwiel It's £2206.77. Seems like some undercharging has been going on.

No, because developers are incentivised to keep prices as high as possible. Only large scale government building will adjust the housing stock and markets.

Reform’s response to the Channel 4 doc: “Reform UK has a robust vetting process for prospective donors approved by the Electoral Commission.” The Electoral Commission’s riposte: “The Electoral Commission has not approved the donor vetting process for Reform, or any other party.”

It's an exclusive, so they have to wait to see the details. Then there will be the editorial briefing, and possibly legal too if you happened to run the poll results that are implicated.

So it looks like Reform policy chief James Orr has straight up broken the law here. It's also exactly the same crime Farage has been accused of re: George Cottrell donating via his mother and which Parliament is currently investigating.
