Our founding essay: Rediscovering British Progress is a case for growth that drives shared progress, rooted in Britain's values and industrial heritage.

It all starts with a postcard from 1870 👇

On Wednesday’s Money Box Live we’re asking ‘can housing be affordable?’ I really want to hear from people in different situations - trying to buy, buying with friends, struggling to buy near work, upsizing, finding new ways to make it affordable. Please get in touch & share:[email protected]

Exactly the sort of thing that should happen to every superstore in London.

The large Tesco superstore and car park in Hackney town centre could be demolished and replaced with housing and a replacement superstore under plans being considered by the council.

Eddington is a great example of building homes on the edge of a thriving city.

Great news that Cambridge is planning to go even bigger with the next phase!
