Fort Worth, Texas, April 23, 2024 - Pursuing the Dream Foundation applauds the Federal Trade Commission for its landmark decision to ban nearly all noncompete agreements, a critical move toward promoting economic freedom and empowering workers. These agreements have long stifled innovation and limited job mobility, hindering individuals' ability to pursue their career aspirations freely. We commend the FTC for prioritizing fairness and competition in the labor market. However, we are deeply dismayed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's decision to oppose this important measure. By vowing to fight against this moment of true economic freedom and liberty, the Chamber undermines the principles of fairness and equity. We urge the Chamber to reconsider its position and stand in support of policies that prioritize worker rights and promote a more dynamic and inclusive economy. Pursuing the Dream Foundation remains committed to advocating for policies that empower individuals to pursue their dreams and contribute to economic innovation. We call on all stakeholders to join us in supporting measures that promote fairness, competition, and opportunity for all workers.

Visionary Managing Director at Londinium Recruitment | Championing Senior Appointments in Construction in the UK 🇬🇧, USA 🇺🇸 & Australia 🇦🇺 | Passionate about Training & Development | Let's Connect: +44 7903968920
As the owner of a construction recruitment firm, staying on top of political developments is crucial, especially with the UK General Election approaching. Each party's manifesto offers different promises for the built environment, but predicting which policies will be implemented is like trying to predict the British weather - you never really know what's coming next! Party Manifestos Overview Conservative Party: Focuses on cutting taxes, reducing immigration, increasing apprenticeships, rebuilding schools, and supporting building safety remediation. Economic conditions might delay these plans. Labour Party: Emphasises economic stability, green initiatives, housing reforms, and energy efficiency. Legislative hurdles could impede progress. Liberal Democrats: Aim to address the skills crisis, replace the apprenticeship levy, promote lifelong skills grants, and improve home energy efficiency. Success depends on securing funding and navigating political challenges. Green Party: Prioritises sustainability with a carbon tax, investments in home insulation, heating systems, and transforming the planning system. They face substantial economic and legislative barriers. Reform UK: Proposes tightening immigration, supporting construction through apprenticeships, and adopting new technologies like modular construction. Implementation may face resistance. Challenges in Judging Outcomes Promises vs. Action: Political parties often make ambitious promises to secure votes, but not all are feasible or prioritised once they take office. Economic Conditions: The economic landscape significantly influences policy implementation. Economic downturns can force governments to shift focus from long-term construction projects to immediate economic relief measures. Legislative Hurdles: Legislative and bureaucratic hurdles can impede the swift implementation of policies. Labour's plan to reform the planning system to facilitate housing development could face opposition from local councils or environmental groups. External Factors: Global events can also redirect governmental priorities and resources away from domestic construction projects. Unforeseen global economic changes might necessitate budget reallocations, impacting planned investments in the construction sector. Changing Priorities: Governments often have to reprioritise their agendas based on emerging issues, pushing construction initiatives to the back burner. As a recruitment director, I am always planning for the worst. Its important to always ask yourself "where is our profit coming from is XYZ happens"? To be recession-proof, recruitment agencies need to focus on diversifying their client base to spread risk, investing in continuous training to be ale to work in any market conditions and build strong relationships with clients and candidates to ensure long-term trust and reliability #ConstructionRecruitment #UKPolitics #BuiltEnvironment #PostElection #IndustryChallenges Londinium Recruitment

Some good advice from my fantastic colleague Matthew Bennett. Whatever happens over the next few months, his words are spot on. The places that stand the best chance of success, regardless of government direction, are the ones that are prepared, have a solid plan in place and have the right partners around the table. #regeneration #partnership #growth
From a world of no housing targets, abandoned Local Plans and anxiety about growth, to one in which the Government drives housing growth to boost the economy. If Labour wins the next election, the environment that local government currently operates in will change radically – and fast. Having a government prepared to grip the 'third rail' of British Politics means they'll be searching for proactive local partners to deliver their agenda at pace. Based on what I, and colleagues from Inner Circle Consulting, heard at Labour's conference in Liverpool and from conversations with city and council leaders, I've set out my advice on what local leaders need to start doing now to prepare:

The King’s speech, which set out Labour Party’s priorities in Parliment, has given us some hope that positive change is on it’s way. Labour has pledged to get Britain building again, we hope that this includes a much needed review (& additional support) for the Planning Process, as well as ‘Greenbelt’ policies. Hopefully action happens swiftly so that our current frustratingly slow system, is not a hinderance to Labour’s pledge. https://lnkd.in/eP5JnhDJ #architectureuk #oxfordshirebusiness #theplanningsystem #RIBA

Director at Boyer | A multi-skilled planning and development consultancy | Promoting land for future development | A tailored approach to deliver strategic projects | Delivering sustainable new communities
Does Kier Starmer’s article in the Times today indicate we might be returning to regional planning and hopefully with it mandatory housing targets for local authorities: “Our Take Back Control Act will entrust power to local leaders, who know their area best and have skin in the game. We will widen English devolution so that every community is taking advantage of the opportunities it brings. We will deepen devolution so combined authorities have a path to gaining powers over transport, skills, housing and planning, employment support, energy and can get a long-term integrated funding settlement in return for exemplary frameworks for managing public money. This will enable local leaders to develop powerful local growth plans that attract specialist industries and enhance their local strengths.” #Boyer #Leaders Romans Group #planning #housing Labour Party (UK) Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner: Labour will empower local leaders

As anticipated, the King's speech announced the introduction of a Planning and Infrastructure Bill to "get Britain building". 🏗 🏢 The bill is aimed at expediting planning decisions for major infrastructure projects and housing developments. Other highlights include enhanced employment rights, renters rights, reforming the leasehold system and phasing out smoking for the next generation. Ministers will introduce legislation to limit junk food advertising to children and restrict the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to minors. #KingsSpeech #LegalUpdates #PlanningLaw #EmploymentRights #EmploymentLaw https://lnkd.in/eRMJ365g

Well worth reading. A review of the progress with the #levellingup programme after 3 years. Well worth a read - update on the government’s progress with the #levellingup programme after 3 plus years. Levelling Up is intended to be about reducing regional inequalities - differences in pay, productivity, living standards and well-being. At the heart of the 12 Levelling Up missions set out in the 2022 White Paper is the important ambition to narrow the economic and social gap between the regions of the United Kingdom by 2030. So where are we?!

It took many years of stalled progress, intense talks and finally a broad consensus of the opportunities brought about by #devolution for the East Midlands Combined County Authority to finally be pushed through earlier this year. But is there a possibility this could actually be the last mayoral combined county authority in England? Laura Hughes, partner at Browne Jacobson who worked on the legal framework that delivered the East Midlands devolution deal, explores what the future of devolution in England could look like under a Labour government. Labour's manifesto states devolution will be a central pillar of its growth strategy, with plans to strengthen the role of metro mayors across a narrow focus of powers, including transport, housing, planning and employment. But with only half of England signed up to a devolution agreement and a number of relatively advanced deals still to receive royal assent - including the Greater Lincolnshire and Lancashire combined county authorities - there is uncertainty when we consider the political leanings of largely rural areas. Laura also discusses how we mustn't lose sight of the very essence of devolution, which is to arm local areas that have their own unique set of opportunities and challenges with specific powers to help shape their own places. By increasingly moving towards standardised devolution deals under the previous government, there's a risk that we don't enable places to achieve this if they're all provided with very similar sets of powers, as opposed to taking a bespoke approach to each area.
