Analysts say the Starmer government’s planning reforms for England – including changing the rules on green belt development to increase the area homes can be built on – should help increase construction in the long term.But some argue that, in the immediate term, housing construction by private sector developers, external is being held back by high house prices relative to average household incomes and elevated mortgage interest rates, which make housing unaffordable to many prospective buyers.The average house price in England, external was estimated at £300,000 in 2025, almost eight times the average annual earnings of a full-time employee.Private housing…
Andy Burnham will announce plans for new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea when he becomes prime minister on Monday, the BBC has been told.The Labour Party’s 2024 manifesto – which the new leader said he would follow – had pledged to not issue new licences but to honour existing ones.At the heart of the debate are two oil fields in Scotland – Rosebank and Jackdaw – which regulators approved in 2022 and 2023 under the then Conservative government, but were overturned in 2025 after a legal challenge.The announcement will form part of a flurry of policy measures…

Polanski said there were two policing provisions, Operation Ford and Operation Bridger, which provided security and safety support for councillors and MPs, respectively.”I am in the unusual situation as a London Assembly member and leader of a party where I haven’t fallen under either,” he added.”The Home Office since the local elections have reviewed that and now I fall under Operation Ford. I welcome the movement on that and that’s provided me with some extra safety and some extra steps.”It is also understood the Green Party does pay for some private security for its leader.He has previously spoken about “heightened…
Johannesburg, South Africa – Nelson Mandela Day has become the backdrop for a wider debate in South Africa over the values the former president represented, as the country grapples with inequality, economic frustration and growing divisions over how to address social problems.That debate has been sharpened this year by the decision of March and March, a coalition of anti-immigration activists that has organised protests across South Africa in recent months, to use Mandela Day activities to inspect businesses in towns across the Eastern Cape, Mandela’s home province, and identify undocumented workers and businesses they allege are operating illegally.The move has drawn…
Gwent Police said the incident involving Asghar on Wednesday night is not viewed as politically motivated and the man involved received a community resolution.Community resolutions, normally used for minor offences or incidents of antisocial behaviour, aim to address the issues without more formal legal proceedings.They are an informal agreement between the people involved in an incident, and do not lead to a criminal record.The security of Senedd members has been raised on several occasions in the Welsh Parliament recently.Huw Irranca-Davies, the presiding officer (Llywydd), said a “comprehensive security framework” supports MSs in their work.He said this includes security on the…
For a second day, thousands of Ukrainians have taken to the streets to protest against the sudden removal of popular and innovative defence minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, who has clashed with the more conventional military chief of staff, Oleksandr Syrskyi. Several thousand people gathered outside the presidential office after Fedorov was not reappointed in the surprise government reshuffle. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has defended his decision, saying he was forced “to choose between sides [when honestly] what I want most is unity”. The move, which comes just as Kyiv appeared to be gaining some advantages in its war with Russia, has exposed…
She adds that she had always “hated” the surname she inherited from her father, which included a profanity that she was teased for at school. “I didn’t want to be associated with it,” she says.Changing her surname to match her mother’s felt like a relief and Maggie says she now feels “more like myself”.”I wanted to be part of my mum’s family,” she says.Dr Becca Bland, a family counsellor and coach specialising in estrangement, says that people who are distanced from a relative or are estranged might choose to change their surname as a psychological defence mechanism to “help you…
United States President Donald Trump has joined criticism of England’s tactics in their World Cup semi-final loss to Argentina, by questioning Harry Kane’s second-half “defensive” role.Manager Thomas Tuchel’s second-half substitutions have been criticised by pundits and supporters following the 2-1 defeat, as Argentina scored two late goals to set up Sunday’s final against Spain (20:00 BST).BBC Sport reported on Thursday how a number of key players had been left disappointed at how England were instructed to finish the game having taken the lead through Anthony Gordon.Tuchel reverted to a back five and made a number of defensive-minded substitutions in the…
He argued that Britain took a wrong turn in the 1980s. “Four decades of neoliberalism” had followed, he said, damaging traditional working-class communities in cities and towns as well as rural and coastal areas.This is what he promised to reverse. Doing so, he said, would amount to no less than “the most significant change moment in our politics for 40 years”. It will not have been lost on any Labour MPs listening that in making this argument Burnham is not only criticising Thatcherism, but also the accommodation with elements of Thatcher’s agenda which he clearly believes were made by the…
