Responding to the Government’s Spending Review, NPC Head of Policy James Somerville said:‘The Chancellor’s focus on people’s everyday lives is the right one. On housing, policies to encourage the ‘crowding-in’ of private investment are welcome. When doing this, the government should think about the potential of all forms of impact capital – the impact sector can and already does make a real contribution to housing in the UK.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK are on the rise. Recent local elections saw the party gain almost exactly as many council seats as the Conservatives lost. They now control 10 councils in areas the Conservatives traditionally dominate. What does this mean for the impact sector? This is a question we need to be asking now for the years ahead, not just when the next General Election rolls around.
