The piece critiques Starmer's contradictory actions, such as creating new quangos while proposing budget cuts. It also notes the broader implications of these changes on planning reforms, suggesting a paradox in the push for deregulation alongside increased administration.

Whether the NHS cuts will prove as drastic as Starmer suggests remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Starmer has created a number of new quangos in the past year.
Anyone who has attended planning seminars for the past decade is aware that British planning needs reform sensitive reform. Yet... she is proposing a revolution.
