News on the long-running Earl's Court (well, next door to it) affair:

That land is worth a bomb. Tory council flogs it well under value, complete with (by today's standards, very low-density) estates on it, change of power at the Council, Labour negotiates to buy it back. I imagine they may have had leverage because there may have been problems with the original deal, but I have no knowledge of the case.
