First we came for the dogs – now the NIMBYs and criminals, with Lawrence Newport (Looking for Growth)

Today we welcome Lawrence Newport, darling of the British progress movement and bane of vicious dogs.

Lawrence discusses:

• His successful campaign to ban XL Bully dogs after identifying their disproportionate role in fatal attacks and overcoming resistance from animal welfare organisations,

• His Looking For Growth initiative to streamline infrastructure development through legislation that bypasses regulatory hurdles for nuclear power, electricity cables, and data centres,

• His Crush Crime campaign focusing on career criminals, highlighting the need for longer sentences for repeat offenders and addressing the breakdown in policing that has made certain crimes effectively legal,
