In this episode of The Select Committee, we examine the Government’s emergency housing targets and ask whether an indicator of housing need has been mistaken for the problem itself. We discuss the inherent tension between reducing reliance on emergency housing and ensuring people are not left sleeping rough. We then turn to The Opportunity Party, weighing its centrist branding against a universal basic income, a significant land tax, and questions about where its candidates and ideas are really coming from. Finally, we consider claims about data centres and water use, asking how definitions, double counting, and media framing can turn a real infrastructure question into a misleading panic. We wrap the show with our favourite segment, Fantasy Beehive, where we rank MP performance using our highly advanced, completely proprietary technology.
