Could street votes be the key to unlocking the UK’s housing crisis? Our new paper with @britishprogress.org explores how ministers could turn to residents to help create thousands of new homes.
What if the residents of a street could collectively decide to build more homes on it - and share directly in the benefits?
That's street votes. In our new paper with @labourtogether.bsky.social we set out how community-led street votes could help Steve Reed build 1.5 million new homes.

Will throwing more money at British companies actually help our economy?
Politicians keep threatening to direct British savings & pensions to UK equities. But this won’t fix the underlying reasons for Britain’s low investment & productivity – and could deliver worse returns. 🧵

The Case for Abundance: Why Demand Suppression Won’t Fix the Cost of Living
