Combination of parenting and personal body clock means I tend to work 10-2pm then 10-2am…

The OBR's recent report on investment has this startling chart, but not the data behind it. Do the green lines turn negative in the 1980s due to the New Towns Development Corporations paying off their debts, council house sales under the Right to Buy, or something else? obr.uk/docs/dlm_upl...

Don’t over read this morning’s news that house prices have started rising again (one months data only etc). Overall picture remains one of stagnation, with prices far too high for most people to afford - but not rising enough to spur more market supply. builtplace.com/jrf-reboot/

In which, for the first time ever, I made a housing market prediction that has turned out to be accurate: that prices would soften but not crash, prompting a 'worst of all worlds' scenario of supply falling without prices correcting to affordable levels (ok, it was @resi-analyst.bsky.social)

Polling suggests it’s a top 4 issue - though that may be driven by the govt banging on about it…
