With Britain's housing system in crisis, Chris—a prominent housing policy expert—and Eve, who formerly led planning in Tower Hamlets, share their insights into how Labour can become the party of homebuilding, breaking down barriers to deliver genuinely affordable homes. They discussed: The urgent need for planning reform to unlock stalled developments and overcome political gridlock. Practical solutions inspired by successful international models—including density bonuses, municipal land managers, and innovative financing methods. Eve's experience navigating housing challenges at local authority level, including complex estate regeneration and the cladding crisis. Strategies to manage rapid development sustainably, ensuring that cultural and nightlife spaces are protected and vibrant communities thrive. If you're involved in planning, housing policy, local government, or simply passionate about solving Britain's housing shortage, this conversation provides fresh, practical ideas you won't want to miss.

Julia Lopez has been the Conservative MP for Hornchurch and Upminster since 2017. Her first political experience was working for the then-MP for the Cities of London and Westminster Mark Field, before she became a councillor for Tower Hamlets – working to improve the standards of an area marred in scandal and heightened community tensions. She went on to hold ministerial roles under three Prime Ministers and is now the PPS to Tory leader Kemi Badenoch.   On the podcast, Julia talks to Katy Balls about the impact Margaret Thatcher had on the politics of her family, how she gained political experience touring London's sewers and skyscrapers, and the mixed emotions of becoming an MP in 2017 – when the party lost its majority. She also describes what it was like to fight a campaign five days after giving birth, and her connection to The Spectator – having helped to change the law to protect British media from foreign ownership.   Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Ceri interviews internationally acclaimed artist Catherine Yass, whose groundbreaking lens-based work pushes the boundaries of photography and film. The conversation explores her innovative techniques, including her distinctive method of layering negatives and positives, her relationship with architectural spaces, and her thoughts on time, failure, and resistance in art. This episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a Turner Prize nominee who continues to challenge conventional perspectives in contemporary art. KEY TAKEAWAYS Catherine discovered her signature blue colour through mistakes while learning to use a 5x4 camera, leading her to deliberately overlay negative and positive images to challenge the idea that photographs must represent reality exactly as we see it. Her early experiences cycling around a deteriorating swimming pool in Tower Hamlets while watching Canary Wharf being built shaped her understanding of architectural power dynamics and social inequality in London. Catherine views her deliberately slow working process with cumbersome equipment as a form of resistance, noting how the industrial revolution transformed time into a commodity that must be used efficiently. For the NHS Swimmers, she asked healthcare workers to perform the same swimming movements twice, creating a temporal doubling that she felt was crucial to avoid the work looking like an advertisement in a public space. Through her High Wire project, Catherine came to value the importance of failure when the performer couldn't complete the walk, realising that sometimes dreams are more valuable than their achievement. Having started by photographing rhinoceros at the zoo, Catherine's fascination with weight, structure and gravity has remained consistent throughout her career, from early sculpture to recent film works. She maintains her artistic freedom by teaching just enough to fund her studio, allowing her to pursue projects without complete dependence on art sales, which she's found can fluctuate dramatically. Her transition from making physical interventions in architecture to photographing spaces emerged from the practical reality that installations are temporary, leading her to document them with photography which then became its own form. BEST MOMENTS "The camera is very big player in it... It's quite like a third character in the room with you before you even start making." "I think through teaching you keep reading... there's a whole process of discussion and learning going on all the time, which is really rich." "Freedom isn't freedom if it treads on somebody else's freedom. So you have to protect people's freedoms." "I was interested in the idea of the subject not being whole, not being sort of complete or reliable or steady." "Slowing things down can be quite a resistance... working with that big camera makes you work in a very organised way."

Clare Sealy currently works as the Head of Education Improvement for the states of Guernsey. Prior to this, she was the Headteacher of St Matthias Primary School in Tower Hamlets for 22 years. In 2018, the Times Education Supplement named her as one of the 10 most influential people in the world of education. In 2022, Clare was awarded an OBE for services to education. Oracy – in case you're unfamiliar with the term – was coined in 1965 to put spoken language firmly on the map, giving it equal status to written literacy and numeracy. Fast forward nearly 60 years, and we're still having this conversation. Just last month, the Oracy Education Commission published a report suggesting that oracy should be recognised as the ‘fourth R' – alongside reading, writing, and arithmetic. It's a sentiment I wholeheartedly support. These days, oracy is often thought of as having three dimensions: learning to talk, learning through talk, and learning about talk. If that idea intrigues you, the Oracy Cambridge website is full of thought-provoking blogs. Recently, the Oracy Cambridge team published a collective response to the Oracy Education Commission's report, offering this updated definition: ‘Oracy is the ability to use the skills of speaking, listening, and non-verbal communication for a wide range of purposes.' Oracy is very much in the spotlight at the moment, especially here in the UK. The Labour government has repeatedly signalled a renewed emphasis on spoken language and communication skills, and we're already seeing this shift in schools and classrooms. I think it's an incredibly welcome change – though, as with any policy, not everyone agrees. Clare and I get into some of these differing perspectives in this episode. Clare and I also discuss a fascinating blog she wrote, titled ‘Talking floats on a sea of write' – a clever inversion of James Britton's famous statement that ‘writing floats on a sea of talk'. I found her ideas so compelling that I asked her to join me for this conversation – and, well, here we are!

La localisation des quartiers populaires au nord-est des grandes villes est souvent due à des facteurs historiques, géographiques, et socio-économiques. Plusieurs exemples en Europe, comme Paris, Londres, ou Milan, montrent que ces quartiers tendent à se concentrer dans des zones nord-est, où des dynamiques urbaines spécifiques ont façonné ces régions. Rôle des vents dominants et de l'industrialisationLes vents dominants, qui soufflent généralement d'ouest vers l'est en Europe, ont joué un rôle majeur dans le développement des quartiers populaires au nord-est des grandes villes. Les industries lourdes, sources de pollution, étaient souvent situées à l'est pour éviter que les fumées et les nuisances ne se répandent vers les quartiers riches situés dans le centre et à l'ouest de la ville. Dans Paris, par exemple, des quartiers comme Saint-Denis et Aubervilliers au nord-est ont vu l'installation de nombreuses usines au XIXe siècle, attirant une population ouvrière. Une étude publiée dans Urban Studies a démontré que l'industrialisation a contribué à la ségrégation socio-économique, les zones industrielles restant souvent défavorisées. Accessibilité et logement abordableLes quartiers au nord-est sont souvent mieux desservis en transport pour permettre l'accès rapide aux centres industriels en périphérie. Cette accessibilité, couplée à des loyers plus abordables, a attiré une population à faible revenu, notamment les immigrés venus chercher du travail. Par exemple, le 93 en région parisienne, devenu un lieu emblématique des banlieues populaires, est le résultat de l'expansion industrielle et du besoin de logement bon marché pour les classes ouvrières. Exemples de villes similairesLondres présente un schéma similaire avec des quartiers comme Tower Hamlets et Hackney à l'est, développés autour du port et des industries, tandis que l'ouest restait plus résidentiel et privilégié. À Milan, le nord-est, vers Sesto San Giovanni, est aussi historiquement associé aux travailleurs, en raison de son passé industriel. A noter qu'une autre logique a également influencé l'établissement des quartiers privilégiés : l'altitude. Depuis l'Antiquité, les classes aisées ont privilégié les hauteurs des villes. Cette tendance s'observe dès l'époque romaine, avec l'exemple d'Auguste installant son palais sur le mont Palatin, créant ainsi un précédent suivi par la noblesse romaine. Au Moyen Âge, les seigneurs ont perpétué cette tradition avec leurs châteaux construits en hauteur.Cette préférence pour les hauteurs se retrouve dans d'autres villes européennes comme Barcelone, où les quartiers huppés occupent la "zona alta". Cette localisation offrait plusieurs avantages : une meilleure circulation de l'air, une protection contre les odeurs désagréables des activités urbaines et une distance par rapport aux nuisances de la ville basse au début du XXe siècle.

Populism, MAGA, and Trump: Insights from Media and the Campaign Trail

THCC Husk Speaker: Caroline Millar Sermon Recorded on: 06/10/2024 Main Passage: 2 Corinthians 4:1-7 Reflection: John Stott spoke about "double listening", listening to God and immersing ourselves in His word (scripture, bible) and listening to the world "seeking to sympathise with it and to seek grace to discover how the gospel relates to it". What does double listening look like in your week and in your context? Our vision at THCC is to give every single man, woman and child in Tower Hamlets (and beyond) the opportunity to hear, understand and respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Spend some time reflecting on what this would actually look and feel like if this vision was to become a reality. How does this make you feel? What excites you? What concerns you? Caroline spoke about intentional missional living being about having a perspective over our lives that sees us as missionaries where God has placed us.  Who are the people that God is placing in your life?  Where are you seeing God already at work in their lives?

As recorded in the 2021 UK census, one in six Bangladeshi residents across England and Wales live in Tower Hamlets, making this London borough's local Bangladeshi population almost twice the size of the next largest within a local authority.  Within that, Whitechapel is a major area for the Bangladeshi community, with many local specialist shops providing food from Bangladesh and beyond, such as Mas Bazaar.  In this recording we can hear the butchers at the back of the shop sawing and chopping meat for preparation in their extensive fresh meat counter and enormous freezer stock.  Recorded by Cities and Memory.

Rich, white and privileged - the creative arts sector has a class problem. Particularly in class-obsessed Britain, where middle-class people are twice as likely to work in creative jobs than their working class contemporaries. According to the Evening Standard, "the worlds of TV, film, music and the arts are dominated by straight, able-bodied white men living in London, despite them only accounting for 3.5% of the [UK] population."Not that this is purely a UK problem. In New York, 85% of artists represented by commercial galleries are white. In Australia, where one in four of us were born overseas, culturally and linguistically diverse creatives are still barely represented in fashion at all. And consider the global luxury brands, with their spate of recent cookie-cutter creative director hires - can anyone actually tell the difference between these men from their photos alone?But, "What about the new editor at Vogue?" I hear you say. Too often, the celebrated hire is still the only Black or brown person in the room.I bet you can think of a thousand places where career progress is affected by your postcode, where you went to school and what your parents did. And lurking behind all that: race, gender, sexuality, difference, not to mention how much cash you've got...It's time for a power shift!Meet Rahemur Rahman, a British-Bengali artist, educator and designer who is determined to change the system, not simply tinker round the edges of representation. He made it, despite the odds. Raised in working class Tower Hamlets, he studied fashion at Central Saint MartinsHe studied fashion at Central Saint Martins, where he now teaches. Designs from his debut London Fashion Week collection menswear collection were acquired by the V&A Museum. Now, he's the director of training and development at Bari, a new incubator supporting South Asian creatives in East London as part of the British Bangladeshi Fashion Council.This is a lively conversation about what it takes to, practically, turn things around - not just talk about it.

Paul Scully, former Minister for London, has given his first extended interview to The News Agents since he talked about 'no-go' areas in Tower Hamlets and Birmingham. What did he mean? And what was he trying to say about Lee Anderson? What is it about the Tories deputy chairmen that makes them say this stuff? Today, we have a go at answering that. Is Rishi scared of losing the voters he thinks Lee Anderson stands for? And is he right to think Lee talks for the Red Wall? Or is that just a slur in it's own right?

Has Islamophobia been mainstreamed? It certainly looks like it. Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman recently wrote in the Telegraph that Islamists are “bullying Britain into submission", while ex Tory party Chairman Lee Anderson told GB News that Islamists had "got control" of London Mayor Sadiq Khan. Tory MP Paul Scully has also weighed in claimed that Tower Hamlets in London and Sparkhill in Birmingham which both have large Muslim populations are no go areas.Adrian Goldberg hears from with Amna Abdullatif, an independent councillor in Manchester, and Raheel Mohammed founder and director of Maslaha, a charity that tackles inequalities and discriminations faced by Muslim communities.

“Grasp the subject, the words will follow.” Attributed to Cato The Elder Artistic Director, Josephine Burton and Podcast Producer, Marie Horner regroup in the studio to reflect on a series of live events in Manchester and London that were the 2023 culmination of this year's Public House project. We heard from speechwriters, activists and academics as we explored the ingredients of a great speech, the power of activism and words, and their ability to change people's minds and lives, along with passionate speeches given directly by some of our extraordinary cohort of individuals from communities across England.Coming in 2024, we'll be creating Our Public House, a state-of-the-nation theatre production, inspired by the speeches and writing of participants from across the country.Our HUGE thanks to all the participants from Underground Lights, Coventry; St Hilda's Community Centre, Tower Hamlets; HMP Styal; The Writers' Block, Redruth; Citizens UK, Brighton; Arbourthorne Men's Social Club, Sheffield; Manchester Deaf Centre and Deaf Explorer; Banbury and Bicester College, Bicester; individuals through Theatre Royal Stratford East, Newham, St Hilda's Community Centre in Tower Hamlets, and residents of Mile Cross, through The Common Lot, Norwich.Our Public House is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), Arts Council England, Three Monkies Trust, and individual giving.In the podcast we're grateful to hear from:Kayleigh Roach - Participant and Speech WriterMaral Mamaghanizadeh - Participant and Speech WriterCharlie Caine- Participant and Speech WriterEdith Hall - Professor of Classics, University of DurhamRinkoo Barpaga - Artist and Stand-up comedian Zara Manoehoetoe - Youth worker and community activistJosephine Burton - Artistic Director, Dash ArtsMarie Horner - Podcast Producer, Dash ArtsAlan Finlayson - Professor of Political and Social Theory at the University of East AngliaCristina Catalina - Senior Producer.

“Take a deep breath in, now think about the future you want” Heidi in Cornwall. What do you want to change? What do you want politicians to understand?We've travelled over 3000 miles and asked these questions to over 120 people during speech writing workshops across the country. The creative team at Dash Arts and our academic partners gather to reflect on what we've learnt and what's surprised us, and to listen back to some of the incredible speeches from participants who took part in Our Public House.To hear more, book your tickets for Speak Out! - a series of live evening events in Manchester; on Tuesday 21 November we discuss the ingredients of great speech with classicist and cultural historian Edith Hall, and former speechwriter to David Cameron, Jessica Cunniffe.

Join us on the road as we travel the length and breadth of England to hear what people want to change. In communities across Cornwall, Yorkshire, Norfolk, the North West, South East and the Midlands, we're supporting people to write and deliver speeches on what difference they want to see.Robust public debate and the freedom to make arguments and counterarguments are essential to democracy. Today, however, political dispute is ever more sectarian and angry, fears of misinformation are widespread and political discussion is often confined to groups of the like-minded talking to each other online.Together with our partners at the Universities of Birmingham and East Anglia, we've been exploring this 'crisis of rhetoric' throughout the year with a series of workshops exploring persuasive speaking across diverse communities in England. Our research will eventually lead to Our Public House, a state-of-the-nation theatre production, inspired by the speeches and writing of our national participants, from writer Jude Christian and director Josephine Burton.Book your tickets for Speak Out! - a series of live events in Manchester (21 & 22 November) and London (23 November), where we're bringing together participants from our workshops, speechwriters, activists, politicians and academics to explore speech making's ability to provoke, persuade and empower. In the podcast we're grateful to hear from:Participants from Underground Lights, Coventry, St Hilda's Community Centre, Tower Hamlets, HMP Styal, The Writers' Block, Redruth, Arbourthorne Men's Social Club, Sheffield, Manchester Deaf Centre and Citizens UK, Brighton.

"We know that the first 1,000 days are the most important time in a child's life. If you get that right you have a much better chance of a life being healthy in the future.” Professor Monica Lakhanpaul, the Nurture Early for Optimal Nutrition (NEON) project The Ferret investigates…the health gap, is a three-part special podcast from The Ferret media co-op and Greater Govanhill magazine looking at the health gap – that's the stark difference between the health and wellbeing of people depending on where you live. In Scotland men in the most deprived areas of Scotland have a life expectancy of almost 14 years less than those in the most affluent areas. And for women that gap is ten and a half years. This podcast – part of our year-long Mind the health gap solutions journalism project – doesn't just highlight the problems but looks at the responses, from Scotland and beyond, that might help us fix them. Part one looks at child and infant health and hears why a good start in life really matters for long term wellbeing. Guests include Linda Bauld, a professor of public health at Edinburgh University who is also a Scottish Government advisor. She claims the Scottish Child Payment is having an impact on reducing child poverty. We also hear from migrant women accessing English lessons at Milk Cafe in Govanhill, Glasgow about the challenges of eating well on a restricted budget, and visit the Nurture Early for Optimal Nutrition (NEON) project in the London borough of Tower Hamlets.You can find all three episodes of The Ferret investigates...the health gap on The Ferret or wherever you get your podcasts.

This month we are featuring short stories and flash fiction written at a creative writing workshop in Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park. The stories are loosely inspired by the gravestones of people who were buried in the cemetery. They include Charlie Brown, boxer and publican, Alec Hurley, boxer, singer and husband of Marie Lloyd, the Woods family, who all died from influenza leaving only one surviving child and Maurice O'Connor, a workhouse doctor who committed suicide in mysterious circumstances. Thank you to all the writers who participated in the workshop for lending us your imagination for the day, and to Claire Slack the Heritage Officer for telling us the compelling real-life stories of some of the people buried in the cemetery park. This episode contains swearwords so has been marked as explicit.

Colin Robertson is an independent advisor to two LGPS funds – London Borough of Tower Hamlets and London Borough of Harrow, within a portfolio career that he has had since 2013. He previously held the role of Global Head of Asset Allocation for Aon Hewitt and previously at Mercury Asset Management. He has extensive experience in working with a wide range of institutional clients.  In this podcast we go on a journey from Scotland to the University of California – Berkeley around the end of the Flower Power era. It was there that Colin studied for a year and focused on Game Theory, a subject that he likens to risk management. Colin describes the evolution of his investment beliefs and how they have evolved to incorporate more behavioural aspects.  We cycle through the various roles that Colin has had, in which he spent time working on both equity and fixed income investments before becoming a Chief Investment Officer. He subsequently decided to focus on economics and asset allocation, holding major global positions. After retiring from full time employment, he has taken on independent advisory work amongst other roles. We examine what it takes to be an independent advisor and the level of challenge that is appropriate.   Returning to the topic of behavioural science, we examine what it is that makes people lose some of their over-confidence and arrogance in the investment arena over time. Colin discusses how the role of interpreting the mass of data we have out there is more important than ever and reflects on the satisfaction he has enjoyed from being able to innovate throughout his career.  This podcast is part of a special collaboration with Crispin Derby Limited.

London's mayor Sadiq Khan has announced he is launching a £130m scheme to give every primary school pupil free school meals in the capital for the next academic year. The scheme will reach 270,000 more children and will start in September and follows similar decisions by London councils in Newham, Islington, Southwark and Tower Hamlets to offer their own universal free school meals to primary children. Last month, Westminster City Council also began providing free school meals for primary pupils in a scheme set to run for at least 18 months. Today's Justin Webb spoke first to Henry Dimbleby, former head of the government's National Food Strategy, who welcomed the move and the Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan. Photo credit: Anthony Devlin/PA Wire

Mohammed Ali is a British Bangladeshi artist from Birmingham. He has recently been spending time back in the East End's Banglatown where he has family connections (as well as Bangladesh itself), listening to stories from the local community to create a mural to celebrate 50 years of Bangladeshi independence.Coming from a graffiti background, Mohammed moved into mural painting and filmmaking. He runs the arts organisation, Soul City Arts and is a trustee of the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.We managed to squeeze in this recording at our studio late one night during the creation of the piece. We talk a lot about the mural itself and its important role in giving a platform to the prominent, yet underrepresented Begali community in the urban art world.There has since been some high profile pieces, critical about the commissioned nature of the mural by Tower Hamlets, written in National papers. As these chats aren't scripted we didn't go down that route this time so I didn't get his take on this.I hope though that this recording can be a testament to Mohammed's personal connection to the community and his genuine desire to represent the people in his art as well as his integrity as an artist and human.You can find out more about Mohammed on his instagram here @aliaerosolsb 15/10/22

She has a passion for the arts, particularly their ability to heal and empower through storytelling and expression. Major themes of her work include beauty, brokenness, stillness, and healing.

Adukeh reads two of her poems and explains where her inspiration comes from as we compare it to a photograph frozen in time.Her poetry has given her confidence and has become her calling, taking her to many venues, from cookshops and community centres to cathedrals. She has performed at the Highams Park Festival of Culture, Unveiling Arts Festival, and was selected to perform at Theatre Deli's Sharp Scratches mental health night.She also devises and runs poetry workshops and events for various organisations including Tower Hamlets and loves to collaborates with other artists for poetry-related events.Discussed in this episode:Discovering poetry in dark times and how it helped Adukeh deal with her struggles as a shy child (1:18)Feeling raw after sharing a personal poem for the first time (3:40)Inspired by a performance from actress and poet Michaela Coel (5:20)Adukeh's poem 'I am not afraid to shine' (7:10)Our gifts don't belong to us alone.

We continue our focus on research evidence and solutions to tackle complex challenges in London - this time taking into account longitudinal studies and contrasting areas with high levels of child poverty. Professor George Ploubidis joins the podcast to discuss the work he and his team do at the Centre for Longitudinal Studies and how they relate to his research interests in the socioeconomic and demographic factors that contribute to people's health across generations. We also hear about the Act Early research consortium that focuses on children living in London's Tower Hamlets and Yorkshire's Bradford, both of which face high levels of poverty. The contributions of the consortium aim to improve lives and opportunities.
