The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you

We promised in our manifesto to “tackle unregulated and unaffordable ground rent charges”.
We’re honouring that commitment today by legislating to cap ground rents at £250 per year, changing to peppercorn after 40 years.

“At COP30, world leaders face a choice: will they take the decisions that help countries withstand the devastation of climate change – or wait until the costs come crashing back home?”
