A spokeswoman for London Councils, the capital’s local government association, said although London saw more council-built homes started in 2022 than any year since the 1970s, market conditions for starting to build new housing were "currently incredibly tough".

An average of 14.3 million viewers tuned in to watch Wallace and Gromit in A Matter Of Loaf And Death that year.This year's new Gavin and Stacey episode followed on from an incredible cliffhanger which saw Nessa, played by Ruth Jones, get down on one knee in front of Smithy, played by James Corden, and ask him to marry her.

Millions of viewers had been left wondering if he said yes since the previous Christmas special in 2019.The hit BBC sitcom attracted huge viewing numbers that year, with 11.6 million people watching the episode on Christmas Day.Charlotte Moore, the BBC's Chief Content Officer, said Jones and Corden created a "magical finale that fans will treasure forever."

"Their exquisitely written comedy creation is a show all about family, love and joy and it proved to be the unmissable TV event of the year," she added.This year's viewing figures were a success for the BBC - it was the first time that all 10 most watched Christmas Day shows were screened on BBC One.

after 50 years, the ITV soap failed to make the top 10, attracting 2.41 million viewers in the overnight ratings.

However, the programme had been released on ITVX for viewers who wanted to watch the episode earlier in the day, which is likely to have impacted numbers."People who have gone through the system understand what it feels like to be interviewed by a [DWP] inspector," says Shannon who now works for the charity, Expert Link.

"They understand what it's like to gather lots of paperwork, so by including them in the design of the system, it's going to work so much better."In a statement, the DWP said the government was committed to protecting the people who use its services "and fixing the broken welfare system we inherited so it works for those who need it".

"That's why we are currently consulting on a new safeguarding approach and our reforms will improve people's lives and rebuild trust, by establishing an approach that genuinely supports vulnerable people."The spokesperson added that the government was encouraging people to have their voices heard in the consultation and help build a system "that works better for all".
