The Government has put roadblocks in the way of local councils who want to improve energy efficiency and build net zero new homes. And they want to do that now. We need housing that tackles fuel poverty and the climate crisis so I really hope you’ll support the Good Law project

Great outfits across the UK - like the Good Law Project - are challenging government so the country can build net zero homes now. So: join in, add your voice (it’s easy) and write to Michael Gove now, using the Good Law template: action.goodlawproject.org/write-michael-…

Just one day to go until my mini UK tour kicks off at the Barbican, followed by Oxford on Sunday and Liverpool on Monday. Looking forward to seeing some of you there. If you don’t yet have tickets please hurry! Some still available for each show at fane.co.uk/kevin-mccloud

So, we have three days to go before I step foot on the Barbican stage and we all share an evening of passion for design, the made world and the glorious lunacy of humankind. Do please send me any questions you have via Twitter for the Q&A !

So my mini UK tour has sold out everywhere except the Barbican on Friday January 5th. Still some seats available but hurry to avoid crushing disappointment.
