Good afternoon. What a year this week has been. Sorry, yes, it’s only Tuesday. Andy Burnham is now Prime Minister, and he has formed his Cabinet. Housing, as we learned in Burnham’s first speech, is front and centre of this new Labour government.

Angela Rayner’s return is met with enthusiasm in the housing sector and across English regions…
Matthew Pennycook not only stays on as Housing and Planning Minister but gets a promotion – he will now attend Cabinet…
And, finally, why John Healey is the first Chancellor Britain has had since Gordon Brown who understands housing properly…
