In the fourth episode of The Abundance Agenda, hosts James O’Malley and Martin Robbins celebrate the Lower Thames Crossing – and talk about why even car-hating urbanists should support the building of a new motorway tunnel.
Plus we look at the government’s investment into 18,000 new social and affordable homes, and get a bit sidetracked by getting mad at boomers.
Then finally we’re joined by Joe Hill, policy director at the Reform think-tank to discuss his provocative new paper which argues that “Everything” is what is paralysing the British government.
The Abundance Agenda is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and hopefully wherever you get your podcasts!
