If Truss wants to have tariff free trade deals everywhere then we need to lower the standards we apply down to the level of the lowest free trade partner.

If housebuilding was like manufacturing or any other industry they would be focussed on building houses as quickly as possible. The whole system needs reform to stop them landbanking - housebuilders should not own land or should not benefit from land value uplift (other than a small margin for investment in infrastructure) this would force them to focus on construction.
The government needs to stop courting housebuilders and start challenging them to build homes by taking away the financial benefits of landbanking though taxation.
I should admit some inside knowledge of the situation, I spent two years working directly for a former CEO of the largest lender to the sector.

Perhaps the Adam Smith Institute should talk to the retail/property trade to understand why this is attractive?

Wolverhampton North East is the better long term prospect and probably better suits the newer profile of the Conservative party. We can win there in a good year, (unlike South West which is polarised and has much fewer swing voters). Most of North East are wards which swing our way in a good year, in 2008 locals, the election results were better in this constituency than in Wolverhampton South West. The strong leave vote suggests this is a good bet. We should be throwing the kitchen sink at places like this.
I doubt that we would win in Wolverhampton South East. Conceivably the majority could be heavily reduced but I doubt it is worth the effort .

Quite a well known example of UK kit being given free to African governments 20 years ago in order to spy on them. I am sure we would do the same today.

When will he build the Western Orbital Route - that must be the most overdue infrastructure project in the country?
