Common Ground Common Ground – for Mutual Home Ownership Soaring mortgage costs for first-time buyers in the South of England mean that those worst affected are workers on average incomes of between £15,000 and £25,000 per year, who are neither poor enough to rent from a social landlord nor rich enough to rent or buy in the open market. This problem is having huge effects on retaining public sector workers in such high cost areas and current government schemes to tackle this issue have proved inadequate. Common Ground sets out a radical approach to securing permanently affordable housing for key workers (and also potentially for others on similar income levels) in areas that would otherwise be unaffordable. The housing model proposed includes a Community Land Trust, designed to take land out of the market and keep it as a public asset so that affordability is preserved on a long-term basis, and co-operative tenure. The Mutual State in Action 3 The Mutual State in Action is a series of publications which build on the ideas presented in The Mutual State – the report of a collaborative programme by the New Economics Foundation and Mutuo which invited contributions from a broad range of organisations to explore the potential for the mutualisation of public services. The Mutual State aims to put the public back into public services. Through user participation, accountability to the local community or recasting public services as self-governing social enterprises, a new mutuality could refresh and invigorate our public services. The first book in the series was A Mutual Trend: How to run rail and water in the public interest by Johnston Birchall and the second, The Mutual Health Service: How to decentralise the NHS, by Ruth Lea and Ed Mayo was a collaboration between the Institute of Directors and nef. Researched and written by Pat Conaty, Johnston Birchall, Steve Bendle, and Rosemary Foggit.

  • The Freedom Association’S Submission to the Balance of Competences Review
    The Freedom Association’s submission to the Balance of Competences review: Internal Market: Free Movement of Goods Goods trade within the European Union The Freedom Association was founded on 31 July 1975 and is a non­partisan, centre­right, libertarian pressure group. TFA believes in the freedom of the individual in all aspects of life, including economic, to the greatest extent possible. As such, the Association seeks to challenge all erosion of civil liberties and campaigns in support of individual liberty, free market economics and freedom of expression. This submission concentrates on the trade in goods between the United Kingdom and other member states within the European Union. The trade in goods between the UK and the EU has decreased over the years and British exports to the EU make up just 10­15% of the UK’s total exports worldwide.1 Regardless of this, however, businesses in the UK are subject to 100% of the legislation that comes from the EU ­ legislation that makes up nearly 70% of all regulatory cost to businesses2 Nonetheless, there are still some companies that have the majority (sometimes significant majority) of their exports going to other EU nations. This is specifically seen in the car industry. This submission will look at the car industry and submit evidence to show that the United Kingdom will be able to continue to trade with the EU with regards to this market even outside its Common External Tariff area. At this point it should be emphasised though that the myth that membership equals trade ­ and by the same nature membership equals jobs ­ needs to be tackled.

They voted to take back control. They wanted decisions affecting their lives taken here in these islands, not by remote control in Brussels by the anti-democratic European Union. Sadly, Theresa May and most of her ministers regard Brexit as a damage limitation exercise. They do not see the opportunities Brexit presents. This lack of vision resulted in the crushing 230-vote defeat on 15th January. These six essays present the positive benefits of Brexit - not just for the UK, but also for free trade across the Commonwealth and the world.
