New Research: What role does AI play in strengthening the home building workforce? AI is transforming many sectors, but our analysis shows that home building remains a proudly people-powered industry. Discover the full insights in our report buff.ly/TXmqOSZ

Home building is becoming increasingly unviable across many parts of England and Wales. Rising policy, taxation & regulatory pressures mean build costs have risen by on average £76,000 per home since 2020. At the same time, demand-side constraints and ongoing barriers are compounding the challenge

For years, policymakers have relied on the assumption that rising housing delivery costs could be offset by falling land values. That assumption has now reached its limit. The continued decline in sites securing planning permission shows how difficult it is to push this any further.

Earlier this morning, our Executive Director David O'Leary spoke at the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee. A move from leasehold to commonhold needs to be supported by mortgage lenders, insurers and conveyancers. This must be a priority for Government

We asked early talent how much impact they felt AI would have on careers in home building. Here’s what they told us 👇 🔶 80% said AI will change how people work in home building over the next 10 years 🔶 70% said protection from rising automation was a motivation for joining the industry

This time last month, we were bringing together emerging talent and industry leaders at the HBF Future Talent Conference for a day of insight, discussion and networking. It was inspiring to see energy and ambition from the apprentices, graduates, and trainees shaping the future of home building.

Put forward a practical set of ideas (thank you Manchester University) on new developments recovering and using storm water and saving money on bills. Labour rejected, but lots of votes from Lib Dems, crossbench and even some Tories. Labour ignoring good ideas @GreenJennyJones

Q: Are you losing control of Senate Republicans? 🇺🇸Trump: I don't know. I don't need money for the ballroom. The ballroom is a gift. We have a drone port on top. We have also the glass that's 4 inches thick. We have bulletproof walls.

Well, that isn't the word I would’ve used. But then I don’t own the Trump-to-English dictionary. A large faction of Americans is in an abusive relationship, and they don’t seem to care that they are.😢

A C-SPAN caller identifies himself as "John Barron" (Trump's known past pseudonym), ranting against the Supreme Court's 6-3 tariff ruling and calling Hakeem Jeffries "a dope." It was probably not Trump, but the fact that we can’t completely rule it out says a lot.

Donald Trump’s weakness is emboldening Putin. He’s turning his back on our allies, isolating America, and making Americans less safe.

Part of the magic of March Madness is the filling out and subsequent busting of brackets. That social connection is what makes this tournament in so special and it has become ever more important in the sort of isolated way we live our lives these days.

Progress isn’t measured by how you feel today. It’s measured by who you’re becoming over time. It’s okay not to be okay—but it’s not okay to stay there. Never neglect your mindset.

LOL, already there.

Look what landed in my arm today. While working on my balcony garden, I felt this on my arm, at first I thought it's worm, but then I saw it. It's a baby praying mantis. It's so tiny (4-6mm) and so fragile. Put it on one my plants that has a few aphids on it so it can have a fiest.

While ordinary Americans choose between driving to work and food, King Donald the Mad's daughter and idiot son-in-law are developing their own private island. And bragging about it like no one should be offended. Still, the words "trump" & "private island" are synonymous with people getting fucked.
