After 10.5 years, I’ve been laid off by openDemocracy.

This round of redundancy included most of the UK team. Three longstanding sections - oDR, ourEconomy and democraciaAbierta - were all also shut/mothballed in the last 6 months: a total of 21 journalists redundant.

I’ve been laid off by openDemocracy, along with a load of my amazing colleagues in the UK. Another bad day for good journalism in this country

If anyone needs an editor, reporter, barman, ageing centre forward or hype man hit me up

So-called 'permitted development' was introduced in 2013 under David Cameron. To date, it's estimated to have cost England 25,000 affordable homes.

The Tories blame immigration for the housing crisis while expanding policies like this.

He’s microdosing austerity.
