November 24, 2022: Will Rishi be able to move forward?
The stabilization package of Jeremy Hunt of 17th November 2022 was of $65 billion — half of it new taxes and the other half spending cuts. Tories were shocked and up in arms.
The Prime Minister’s plan to build 300,000 homes a year has reportedly been put on hold. Rishi Sunak has reportedly been forced to delay planning reforms as he faced a significant rebellion by Conservative MPs pushing for an end to mandatory housebuilding targets.
Truss said she would end “Whitehall-inspired Stalinist housing targets”
WIND FARMS ISSUE: Rishi Sunak had scrapped a move by predecessor Ms Truss to relax the rules for setting up wind farms. He proposed building offshore turbines. But former minister Simon Clarke has proposed to relax restrictions on setting up on-shore wind farms through the Levelling Up Bill. He says both Johnson and Truss support him.
David Cameron had banned the on-shore wind farms and Truss had proposed relaxing it.
