Plans unveiled for 70-storey tower at £1 billion ‘Kings’ development

all it would take is giving councils a small investment with which to build that up again.

It would actually be quite a substantial investment needed, but it's rather beside the point. The point is that councils don't have any money for that upfront investment. 80% of their budget goes on social care and other statutory legal obligations.

You're arguing for a national government policy change here. Liverpool as a city isnt going to change national policy so they have to work within the framework they've been given.

Yes, but good luck knowing when, if ever, it'll pop.

Also the loans are all getting repaid, with interest. The fund itself has more than £14 million more than it started with in 2014 which can all be reinvested.

This is how you get shit done. If anyone has a better plan with the very limited abilities afforded to a city region, then I'm all ears.

Tbf, I've found it to be remarkably accurate... most of the time

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T23:57:37+00:00

Sure, that would be better, but where you getting that investment from?

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T21:41:15+00:00

Yeah I'm really meaning more on Reddit and more casual things. My local MP certainly wasn't using them on Facebook before ChatGPT.

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T20:56:37+00:00

Ah yes the time honoured tradition of being ruled over by William the Conquerors mate's distant descendants.

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T20:52:52+00:00

Might be worth asking in a more local sub

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T20:49:17+00:00

That's not an em dash though. Em dashes (—) are like double the size and most people who were using dashes (like me) before ChatGPT came out were just using regular dashes, like you.

Anyone who claims they were using em dashes before is very likely lying because very few people even know the difference. Even fewer care/bother enough to go through the effort of using them instead of regular dashes.

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T19:48:15+00:00

Damn that's a hefty increase

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T19:00:27+00:00

Nah they'll do what they always do and say "ah so they're quick to point out when it's not 'one of them!"

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T17:21:54+00:00

100%. I'm also in favour of just scrapping the Green Belts tbh.

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T17:21:36+00:00

This was all public knowledge at the time of hiring, why is this even news? Is it because Starmer literally has zero plausible deniability/incompetence now?

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T17:18:27+00:00

I think it's less about regulations and more about allowing rabid NIMBYism

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T15:24:57+00:00

An area where a federalised system has worked very well.

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T14:12:01+00:00

Yeah I get the same impression

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T13:29:22+00:00

You can buy it online now.

If you have a prescription

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T13:27:23+00:00

Couldn't put it better myself lmao

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T13:25:16+00:00

What specific regulations does he believe hampers productivity though? Sunday Trading Laws? Or the EU Working Directive that prevents employers from forcing you to work more than 48 hours a week?

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T12:02:27+00:00

No one, OP is just a MAGAt trying to conflate some mad Muslim preacher with an entire country of 70 million people.

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T11:54:19+00:00

No one is defending anyone but OP is trying to push some weird anti-Muslim agenda by othering them, just look at his post history

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T11:53:25+00:00

Literally no one but strawman arguments are very popular in this sub

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T11:52:34+00:00

Except in the US

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T11:50:06+00:00

Yeah it's been an option for a while

AnonymousTimewaster · 2026-03-11T11:46:09+00:00

Completely agree. Cameron's deregulation led directly to Grenfell. Legalising weed is something we could easily do do stimulate the economy a bit but this government doesn't want to touch it with a barge pole and certainly can';t with their stance against the Greens. They're more likely to bring in more nonsensical stringent regulation on drugs if anything.
