Time to break down the barriers stalling water efficient housing
When environmental sustainability is talked about in construction circles, the focus is invariably on carbon and energy and it’s rare that water conservation is mentioned in the same breath.

Being bossy about green issues won’t get us to net-zero any faster
A recent McKinsey report reckoned the world would need to spend $275tn (£221tn) by 2050 to reach net-zero. That is almost three times current annual world income and output.

Rural voters are trusting Labour again – we must not let them down
It’s no secret that, over the last decade and a half, the Labour Party has struggled to connect with rural communities. Labour went from 170 rural seats in 1997 to just two in 2019 – a 90 per cent loss in a single generation.
