With inflation “beaten”, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has called a general election for 4th of July (Independence Day!). We look at the numbers and examine what are the indicators that may spell trouble for his gamble. The Housing Commission has said the Government’s housing policy needs a “radical” reset; we examine what the ideal housing target is.
