On this week’s episode of The Abundance Agenda, hosts James O’Malley and Martin Robbins make a bold prediction about when the Sizewell C nuclear plant will get the green light.

Then Martin horrifies James with a frankly shocking deep dive into caravans – or trailer homes.

And finally, we speak to Robert Colvile, Director of the right-leaning Centre for Policy Studies about his views on the Planning Bill, and whether the Conservative Party can ever be persuaded to embrace Abundance.

The Abundance Agenda is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and hopefully wherever you get your podcasts!

You can find James on Bluesky here, and Martin here.

Robert Colvile is on Twitter, Bluesky, and is at the Centre for Policy Studies.

James steals the opinions of the excellent Zion Lights at one point. (You can listen to James and Zion in conversation here.)
