Once you restrict the ability of people to access land, and so you put all of the costs on the land rather than on the building, you end up massively distorting the amount that people are willing to spend on the architecture and on the quality because, of course, people aren’t doing this for charity.

He’s been really reticent on building houses, and he talks about rent control, which, as you know, at the moment when you start talking about rent control, nobody wants to rent a house and nobody wants to build a house because it .

I’m standing because I think if you want to serve your country, if you want to offer leadership at a moment when, frankly, the world is deeply uncertain and the challenges at home of underinvestment over 30, 40 years have never been more obvious, the need to act in the national interest has never been stronger, and that’s what I think we need out of British politics today.

I think when Theresa May came back after the 2017 election with not only a reduced majority, but actually a slight minority administration, I think George Osborne would’ve been prime minister within weeks had he stayed in Parliament.

The problem is, when you say underrated, you immediately go to your favorite one, and your favorite one is almost by definition not underrated, because you know — very well.

One of the challenges we’ve got in our devolution system in the UK at the moment is you’d have to be nuts, as a devolved representative seeking office, not to promise to pave the steep streets of your community with gold, and then to blame Westminster for not paying for it because you have very little responsibility for raising any of the money that you’re going to spend.

I won’t tell you any secrets, but I suppose the one secret that I can tell you that some people just won’t believe me is: Conspiracies are unbelievably difficult, and I just don’t believe in them anymore.

We’ve got to a point where the correct way of having inquiry into the past is to do historical inquiry based on written record, and I think that’s what this offers.

I think outsiders miss the fact that there’s a real intimacy to London that you miss if all you’re doing is you’re going on the Tube, or if you’re going on the bus.

I think that’s one of the reasons why the British political system has endured because it forces you to remember that there’s a long-term interest, not an immediate one, not just a short-term one.

I think the important thing in a democracy is to be ready for change and to make sure that good ideas can cut through. That’s why I’m extremely optimistic for the next election, for example, because I think that the kind of economic reforms that we need to see, the Conservative revolution that we need to see, the back-to-service, back-to-leadership, and back-to-action that we need to see is something that can generate a real swing and a real momentum behind it relatively quickly, and certainly within four years.

If there’s a good design, if there’s a good form of architecture that works, that people like, I don’t see what’s wrong with repeating it just because you’ve changed the plumbing or the wiring or behind the facade.
