Robert Clayton Photographer @robclayton.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Maybe but in the meantime thousands are suffering extreme heat, no ventilation and tiny spaces in hundreds of "permitted development rights" office conversions in the UK. And paying market rent - horror conditions that are in the main ignored and thousands are suffering far worse. 000
Robert Clayton Photographer @robclayton.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Missing the point really. Socialism produced a rapid improvement in the health of the working classes via huge improvements in housing (amongst other things). 50 years of Neo liberalism has eroded the standard and access to housing for many, especially the woking class and poor. 100

Reposted by Robert Clayton PhotographerOtto Saumarez Smith @osaumarezsmith.bsky.social · 23/04/2026I’m so angry about this. Bull Yard (1963-9) was a humanely civic-scaled square, with elegant bronze clad mullions, good lettering, the splendid William Mitchell sculpture, & local shops. Coventry council’s advertising their net zero aims in front of the utter vandalism they’ve wrought is grotesque. 2248
