openDemocracy is going to court to force the British government to release full details about its controversial ‘Clearing House’– a secretive unit inside Michael Gove’s Cabinet Office, which is accused of blocking sensitive Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.
In November, openDemocracy revealed that the ‘Orwellian’ unit in the Cabinet Office was vetting FOI requests and sharing personal information about journalists across Whitehall in ways that experts believe could be in breach of the law.
The Cabinet Office has refused to disclose full details about the Clearing House operation under the Freedom of Information Act – despite the FOI watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office, ordering it to do so in July 2020.
A new deal for the young: how to fix the housing crisis
on ending ‘generation rent’
“Securing a place to call one’s own is a key marker of independence, and a step towards starting a family,” says the Financial Times in its leader column. “Yet for many young people, across many countries, a home has become unaffordable and renting is insecure, expensive, or both – especially in places where the good jobs they want are most plentiful,” the paper continues. “[U]nless they enjoy support from the ‘bank of mum and dad’ or are exceptionally well paid, many in the younger generation are stuck as ‘generation rent’.” One of the most crucial issues the UK government must tackle is the “inadequate growth in supply, including of affordable housing”. Fixing the housing crisis will take “some radical policy changes. It is time to embrace them,” the paper concludes.
