      By doing exactly what they promised.

      Revamping planning rules to limit councils refusal. It was in the manifesto and publicized during the campaign.

    If there’s one thing Morning Star hates far more than the right or far-right, it’s the centre-left.

    What the headline should be saying is “Labour goes ahead with their democratically mandated manifesto promise to curtail NIMBYism and build more houses”

    A council doesn’t like that? Boo fucking hoo.

    Aside from this, the moves Labour is making to devolve powers gives greater levels of localised democracy, not less.
