It would be unthinkable for telecoms providers to push through with mid-contract price hikes
Since 2020 most major broadband and mobile providers have introduced inflation linked price increases in their contracts. Under this practice, providers base their price increases on whatever inflation is running at, plus a mark up - a questionable practice that has made it difficult for consumers to understand exactly what they are signing up for and to shop around.

Housing must not become a battle between Quality vs Quantity – we must deliver both
The November reshuffle saw the appointment of yet another Housing Minister – the 16th since 2010. And in the run-up to the long-awaited Christmas break, there were several significant announcements on planning permission reform to get Britian building again. With a General Election inevitably on the horizon, we can expect that there is only more stall-setting to come on what is expected to be one of the biggest policy issues at the ballot box.

The government must act more like a business to attract investment
Attracting more foreign direct investment into the UK is complex.
