Protests, Housing, and Political Challenges

The chapter delves into recent protests, the Labour party's proposed planning rule changes, challenges in devolving power, and shifting political preferences towards Labour. It explores the conflict of nimbyism in building houses, potential limitations for mayors, and the impact on politicians with thinner majorities. The focus is on addressing the housing shortage through building 1.5 million houses, overcoming local protests, and meeting the growing need for affordable housing while discussing migration trends and the political implications of young families seeking homes.
