their case and others were addressed by the housing secretary, michael gove, in parliament last monthave been treated with significantly less respect than they deserve because of attitudes that are rooted in prejudice. and i think we all have a responsibility across this house to call that out when it occurs. often, families from minoritised communities feel more disrespected, less likely to be listened to, there are cultural assumptions made. pull that paint off, i it will come off, look. in bradford, sajida hussain says herfamily have health problems after moving into their mouldy housing association home six years ago. we're in the kids' room. both my daughters sleep in this bed. mould, water comes through, dropping through the ceiling. i the kids falling ill, . my daughter is always in and out of hospital- with antibiotics and everything. incommunities housing association says the health and well—being of its customers is its most important priority, and has dealt with the root cause of damp and mould issues reported by ms hussain on several occasions, including installing extract

housing secretary michael gove has now offered councils more flexibility over meeting the governmentgets . russell government set targets. russell let's speak now to property expert russell cook . russell, expert russell cook. russell, how significant is this watering down of this bill? good morning. from pasties to pat cease, i might add, because as patsy's been the 60 backbench year that basically now seems to control the government into yet another spiralling u—turn . this is spiralling u—turn. this is really significant actually because , you know, say what you because, you know, say what you like about the kind of political ideology of the state dictating what should and shouldn't do and that i'm certainly not for that overall . but what i am for is overall. but what i am for is a direction of travel and an aspiration when it comes building the right amount of houses, which frankly, we haven't done since the 1950s and since the mcmillan government. so michael gove now kind of acquiescing to back nimbys, which is effectively what the likes of priti patel, theresa villiers and the

but then michael gove's made clear he's rebranding them as pursuing by different means, the same sortds . and as we see that when of ends. and as we see that when you're coming of you're coming out of the of pandemic and the after—effects of putin's war, you do need to make sure there's jobs being created, that there are the industries of the future there. and this is the sort of stuff we're seeing today that will ensure city can be ensure that the city can be right the at cutting edge right at the at the cutting edge and is, of course, the and yet there is, of course, the element corporation tax element of corporation tax rising other rising when most other countries, our countries, most of our competitors are at reducing their tax burdens or tax burden has highest it has has risen to the highest it has ever been . similarly, you ever been. similarly, you mentioned things like investment zones, perhaps planning liberalisation that was expected under liz truss. these things have been ditched. that's going to knock growth , of course. to knock growth, of course. i mean, the government

and in that in that case, michael gove has made exactly the right choice today. all so we're sort of we're all agreeing that we want cleaner energy. i wouldn't agree that. i think probably what we where there is disagreement on is timing and think of what you have to say to the international energy agency. you know, one of the most respected energy consultants in the world says we cannot invest in any cannot afford to invest in any new fossil fuels, any fossil new fossil fuels, any new fossil fuels . we have plenty of coke fuels. we have plenty of coke and plenty of coal in existing mines to get us through the transition of these mines. but they are in britain, are in russia. they are in america. and just bringing . but isn't that just bringing. but isn't that bad for the climate ? it costs bad for the climate? it costs around between one and in co2 around between one and 2% in co2 emissions extra to do that. however what i am simply saying is invest in the old technology that we can't afford to use for the next 30 years rather than investing in new technologies

michael gove's balance here. michael gove's decision to green light the re—opening of an old coal mine in cumbria . whitehaven is not in cumbria. whitehaven is not the return of old father coal to the return of old father coal to the uk energy mix. it is, however a potentially important move in the uk's growth because it will create 500 jobs producing coking coal for the steel , both here at home producing coking coal for the steel, both here at home and abroad. it has wide spread local support, but some say it was a dangerous signal that the uk is perhaps willing to use the dirtiest of fossil fuels, albeit for a specific industrial reason. industry certainly wants it and local folk want those jobs. it and local folk want those jobs . however, it did come just jobs. however, it did come just a few days after rishi sunak signalled support for more onshore wind farms. signalled support for more onshore wind farms . so today onshore wind farms. so today we're examining what afoot on both industry will and growth str

there michael gove is attempting a piece rebellion happening on there michael gove is attempting a piecebig rebellion happening on the tory backbenches around planning . an tory backbenches around planning. an i think what he's trying to do is find a way through and actually a measure that is reasonable because . yes, tourism reasonable because. yes, tourism is very important, but you've got to have a community for that tourism to serve and you can't price them out that that's what we must a lot more homes. but there is a real of push back from certain areas of the conservative party on the idea of building more homes and home binding targets. so and in that near that constituency , that's near that constituency, that's the classic nimby, right? it's the classic nimby, right? it's the classic nimby rule. and it's very much there are two very, very much there are two very, very strong sides of this within the conservative party. it's not sort of left right thing. it's different different tribes within the conservatives , you within the conservatives, you know, they're having different ide

the planning inspector and michael gove in his letter lastl and michael gove in his letter last nightat they get from abroad and they are not going to be using it. bridges still have said they cannot use it because of the sulphur content and tata steel one to green up by going to electric furnaces, so it will be exported, so there is no savings there and the fact that it will be exported means the planning inspector has not counted in end use emissions, although the earth counts them in. in the government the letter talks about global emissions and says this will be broadly neutral in terms of global emissions by the time, even taking into account when the coal is burned. what do you say to that? i burned. what do you say to that? i say that the government is more concerned with protecting their mps locally than they are with the climate. the climate advisers are not saying that. they are saying it's morally indefensible, and i don't think that michael gove, give him his due, identity is a climate expert, said climate experts are saying it's a bad decision. we want jobs here, of cours

the government's counter extremism programme due to a cabinet row between suella braverman and michael govet, lots to get on with. good evening, both. thanks very much for coming on this edition of the papers. let's start with the daily mirror, shall we? martin, if you could start by talking us through this? the headline there, junior dock strike fearful so what is the story there?— story there? there is a pallet of “unior story there? there is a pallet of junior doctors — story there? there is a pallet of junior doctors starting - story there? there is a pallet of junior doctors starting in - story there? there is a pallet of junior doctors starting in the - story there? there is a pallet of. junior doctors starting in the new year, fairly soon after the new year, fairly soon after the new year, so there is a dispute there. there claim is that they have had their payroll did in real terms. the latest pay offer from the government is not adequate, so there is a ballot going on. this story is about a survey the bma have done, in which they claim that 80% of people have responded saying, juni

what is michael gove up to? that's an interesting question . that's an interesting question. to be as environment secretary. he was green. he was a bigot. yes but he's interestingly, he's changing tack and. he's obviously willing to take someone like i think he he probably senses that public opinion is on the side of solving our energy problems . solving our energy problems. and, you know, guardian point out that the vast majority of the coal from proposed mine would be exported. so it may not an immediate solution to all energy problems . but now energy problems. but now nevertheless, i think there is an appetite for britain to bring back its energy sector, to revive . and actually we used to revive. and actually we used to be that sort of superpower anyway. i mean they should be getting on, in my view, with reopening a lot of the north sea oil fields. absolutely have been put on hold. well, but put on on hold. well, but instead, the budget imposed a sort of 75% tax on their profits. yeah which is disincentivized exploration . the disincentivized exploration. the nonh disinc

michael gove throwing their support in behind rishi sunak and suella braverman suella braverman herselfe he kept jeremy hunt in place, which i just sort of sense of stability and it felt as though it was going to be sort of politics return to normal, as we have seen in the in the last bit of the year, politics roughly to normal. but it though there are it feels as though there are quite lot of tensions under quite a lot of tensions under the there are a lot of the surface. there are a lot of unhappy conservatives didn't unhappy conservatives who didn't want over the want rishi sunak over the summer. knew their summer. they knew that their constituents didn't particularly want sunak and those want rishi sunak and those problems are beginning . raise problems are beginning. raise their ugly head again. a very difficult christmas , perhaps not difficult christmas, perhaps not the happiest of new years , the the happiest of new years, the prime minister, but what a 12 months it's been . well, that was months it's been. well, that was 2022, the year politics, the most eventful in westminster

but the government rishi said i can michael gove didn't go for that because they know how unpopular its lib of, you know, tory versus lib dem seats like we saw in chesham and amersham . yeah. and the and amersham. yeah. and the outskirts of affluent northwest london. so these are really, really difficult problem. meanwhile you know, youngsters can't buy a home. meanwhile, fertility in this country is falling because women of child, you know, when they have their first child on average is , 27, first child on average is, 27, 28, almost half of women of those age living in rented accommodation, it's difficult in many people's minds to start a family if you are in rented accommodation, living with your mates from university or your mates from university or your mates from university or your mates from work and this is a major, major problem. i wouldn't be surprised if keir starmer tackled housing when it comes to prime minister's questions later this afternoon at midday, of course, not least because as i said labour did offer to put this tory legislation through with labour votes in order

as ministers and their aides resigned in droves, he sacked michael gove, calling him a snake.ations, plus a sacking. and then one final resignation. when the herd moves, it moves. and, my friends, in politics, no one is remotely indispensable. i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up the bestjob in the world. but them's the breaks. in the commons, there was a characteristic final farewell. hasta la vista, baby! thank you. meanwhile, the race was already on to replace him. so far, no fewer than 11 conservative mps fancy their chances as party leader and prime minister, and this list could get even longer. mps whittled them down through several rounds of voting until there were just two. who will be our next prime minister, liz truss or rishi sunak? as they fought to make it to number ten, they clashed repeatedly, mainly over the economy. your proposals would mean that we get the short term sugar rush of unfunded borrowed tax cuts, but that would be followed by the crash of higher prices and higher mortgage rates. rishi, you've just put in the highest tax rate for 70 year
