And once again, same policies, same “advisers”, same Tufton Street “think tanks”, same aggressive hateful rhetoric, same lies, same contempt for people and the environment.
Vote for “Change”, get the same old 
.
And how much of that do the more progressive Labour MPs need to see before they realise their party and principles have been sold down the river, and act?

“Already these so-called #greenfield developments — houses built on previously #BareLand, just as the name suggests — are changing the #terrain of #Australia’s #cities.
The new #developments are easy to spot from the street, or the air, thanks to the sea of grey roof tiles.
Where once #ResidentialDevelopment was concentrated around #economic centres, now it’s #bulging outwards to an extent that the connection to city-living is tenuous at best.”
The barely mentioned issue that needs to be addressed, #population and #planning.
