What's causing the housing crisis in the UK? 🚤 Reform think it's the 40k people that arrived by irregular means. 🏡 Over 300k households presented as homeless in each of the last 2 years. 🏚️There are 1.5 million vacant or unoccupied dwellings in the UK. 💰190k properties in the UK are foreign owned

Discussing the Carbon Budget at Solihull Council this evening a couple of sticking by points: 1. Housing isn’t counted, even when the Council own them 2. The airport isn’t counted, not even the 3.75% the Council owns. The only chance we have of tackling the climate is through painful honesty…

The Renters' Rights Bill is a welcome step towards improved living standards for renters. But there's a gaping hole in the legislation... We desperately need rent controls to stop tenants being treated as cash cows by landlords.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.

Rachel Reeves is threatening yet more public spending cuts due to the increasing cost of borrowing. But our services simply can’t take any more austerity. The Government should tax the super-rich fairly to help fund public services and close the inequality gap.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.

How to avoid (even more) austerity...

- Raise taxes on ordinary people (strikethrough)
- Borrow more at higher interest rates (strikethrough)
Wealth tax on the super-rich (check)

I have the same sympathy for those whose homes are lost by fire, or bombing. Losing your home and safety is tragic, whether by climate or conflict. I would hope coverage was equivalent for all tragedies. More wealth shouldn’t = more coverage.

The Chair of the Planning Committee has refused my request to speak on Birmingham Airport night flight application. Request was sent yesterday, and the Chair claims to only have seen it today. Chair has used his discretion to allow 2 Conservatives to speak, but refused one Green local Councillor.

A spare bed in a hotel is an inefficiency. It’s lost revenue. You’re not using your asset optimally. If you run a hospital with no spare beds, you have ambulances waiting outside. You will have patients in corridors, not receiving the care they need. Health is a public good, not a private service.

The criticism coming from the right, when the arguments against climate change being real or anthropogenic don’t land, is that doing anything about it is too expensive. To be clear: NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING WE CAN DO AS A SPECIES!

We need to remove the profit motive from the health service, to the greatest extent possible. This is the best way to incentivise good health, and address the massive health inequalities in the country. It’s almost 20 years of healthy life difference in parts of the West Midlands.

💯 We won’t fix the health service or the climate without also tackling inequality.

We are part of the same global economy that is producing the same symptoms everywhere. Other symptoms may include: 🤑 alt-right grifting 🤥 disinformation 📣 populism 🏳️‍⚧️ culture wars and marginalisation of minorities. There are many things to fix, but most cascade from this one issue.
