• The government seems to dub everyone who opposes a development for whatever reason a nimby (More than 100,000 homes in England could be built in highest-risk flood zones, 8 February). Should we now refer to Starmer, Reeves, Rayner and housebuilders as badees – Build Anywhere Despite the Environmental Effects?
