City Hall’s new position will be to actively explore the release of parts of London’s green belt for development. We'll be working with councils and others to secure as many new homes as we can on brownfield sites, but this alone will not be enough to meet our needs.

The green belt can often be low-quality land, poorly maintained and rarely enjoyed by Londoners. Development on carefully chosen parts of the green belt - done in the right way - could unlock hundreds of thousands of good quality new homes for London.

Eating my gherkin and egg on Rye bread sandwich and I genuinely forgot I was in an airport. All background noise phases out and the bugs, birds and animals take over. Nice work Helsinki Airport

From think tankers to build beautiful campaigners. I’m seeing a bunch of people now understanding the absolute stupidity of Part O regulations, in respect of them opposing mechanical cooling. Now I just need them to get the ‘simplified method’ solution & we’re getting there!

We are putting the power back in the hands of local people. That is why we have agreed eight new devolution agreements that will drive growth, housebuilding and transport 📈🏘️🚆

I read this & thought; I wonder what industries they're in & how money was made? Here/abroad? When? What were their regulatory barriers/supports? Sadly, others thought: Eye poke for racists Hard for Brits to create wealth Rape gangs?! Take their money Tax them This country!

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb! People need to realise how utterly pathetic the land use system in the UK is! If you even ‘blamed builders’ but now criticise this decision, it’s time to reassess what the issues are! theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/m…
