YIMBYs in Earl’s Court please take 2 mins to respond to the survey below!

Pleased to have flown the flag for development corporations at last night’s Next Gen Tories housing debate.

Standby for Onward research on this very soon!

Brilliant policies put forward by Centre for Policy Studies, Adam Smith Institute & Onward. There are so many dynamic and fresh ideas coming out of the Right which have real buy-in from working age voters. I hope the manifesto writers are listening.

🗣️ Thank you to everyone who joined us for a lively debate on how the Conservatives should solve the #HousingCrisis chaired by our Director Noa Cohen.

It was great to be joined by Sam Bidwell, Callum Newton & Emma Revell.

🚨 REMINDER: Think Tank Battle 🚨

🗓 As reported by this morning’s POLITICOEurope London Playbook, join us tonight for our first-ever Think Tank Battle debating all things housing with:

Adam Smith Institute’s Sam Bidwell
Onward’s Callum Newton
Centre for Policy Studies’s Emma Revell

✍️…

Without some taller blocks, it will be impossible to tackle the housing shortage.

We generally support gentle density, but not building upwards in central London is just unrealistic.

Next Gen Tories If it worked for the Canadian conservatives, it could work for British conservatives

Your almost daily reminder that winning back working age people should be Conservatives No1 focus 👇

Fascinating to join Opinium for a focus group of 2019 voters:

🏡 Unanimously pro building more homes (so far).

📈 Adressing rents & wage:price ratio a key priority.

👵 Older people want their kids to have homes nearby.

🌹No love for Khan, and his housing failure.

🚨Age is the single biggest factor informing voting intention.

🗳️Our campaign to get Conservatives to deliver for working age people isn’t a ‘nice to have’ - it’s existential.

The problem is supply, the solution is supply 🏡

What gets more for your money:

A) Building more homes, adding to supply & lowering overall prices

B) Buying property at market rate and renting it at significant cost. Doing nothing to address supply.

This is why the centre right does pro-housing better 🏡

🏘️ 'A pro-housing Conservative pitch could wipe the floor with Khan' writes Bright Blue Associate Fellow James Cowling for our Centre Write blog

New Zealand’s planning reforms solved their housing crisis.

If replicated in London, Britain Remade estimates it would save the average couple in a two bed flat £6k.

That’s an election winning pitch.

Housing is London’s biggest challenge, and Sadiq Khan’s greatest failure.

A transformative pro-housing Conservative pitch would beat Khan, and the ideas are already out there.

Today it means building millions more homes for young people - giving them a stake in society.

That should be the new One Nation Conservatism.
