  The politics of blame – who pays the price?

  East Anglia Bylines has published an opinion/commentary article arguing that James Talarico’s message in the United States offers a lesson for British politics, especially for Andy Burnham and Nigel Farage.

  • The piece says Talarico won a US Senate seat in Texas with a populist, cost-of-living message, while Democrats across Texas, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi and Kansas focused on prices, healthcare, energy costs and corporate power.
  • It argues Brexit has made the UK economy 2% to 8% smaller than it otherwise would have been, and uses a 6% example to suggest about £80bn a year in lost potential government revenue; it also says Burnham will meet EU leaders in Brussels on 20 November to seek agreements on costs, red tape, growth, and cooperation on security, crime and migration.

  This article is a news commentary summary referencing a Wall Street Journal report on the growing use of mass timber; it is not a first-time company announcement.

  • Mass timber adoption is increasing in U.S. construction as architects and developers look for alternatives to steel and concrete; the number of commercial and public buildings using it has risen from fewer than 100 a decade ago to more than 1,500.
  • The piece says updated 2021 building codes raised the allowable height of mass-timber buildings to 18 stories; in Savannah, Georgia, architect Patrick Shay used southern yellow pine for a hotel, where a 10% to 20% cost premium was offset by faster assembly and lower finish costs.
