MPs urge ministers to release aid report by Starmer’s economic adviser Minouche Shafik’s study of UK development spending has never been published

I can't understand why her report hasn't been published - we need transparency & accountability to make the case for more #aid spending, not wasting taxpayers money on reports that don't get aired on.ft.com/481ENiJ

Inside Welborne, the new town making its own rules The architect-led β€˜garden village’ is hoping to demonstrate how high-volume housing delivery can pair with high design

Inside Welborne, the new town making its own rules - on.ft.com/457xO4X via @FT > good to see. Pity its going to take another 20 years to deliver, & no mention of accommodation for 'seniors' but hopefully that's built in too
