I think you’ll find I was saying “this government has passed actual legislation that actually gives renters more rights and that’s more important than whether one of their MPs is a landlord” but go off.
I’ll ask again, which government in your lifetime or before was more left wing in your opinion? We might not have had it raining free gumdrops but we’ve had investment on rail, energy, the NHS far above what we would have got. We’ve got planning reform to come if the environmental groups don’t fuck it that could seriously dent the housing crisis and get infrastructure built before everyone in this thread is in care.
“sElF iMpOsEd DeFiCiT pInChInG”
£41bn of new taxes, mostly on wealth and corporations, £30bn a year extra investment spending.
It may not be enough for you, Blair wasn’t enough for a lot of people either. But I’d sure as hell take it over any of the alternatives. And doing nothing but shitting on the only left wing option we’ve got in a sea of proto-fascists doesn’t seem particularly progressive to me
“but the vibes man”
All of this.
If you ignore all of the left wing things this government have done then they're the most right wing government ever.
In the same way that if you ignore the fact that the 2015 and 2019 lot didn't get elected they're bestest and most left wing government ever.
Arse licking is your speciality, your desperation to be liked by someone, anyone, is quite tragic at times.

You literally swallow every word he says
He is a total idiot. I felt marginally sorry for him that his father sold him a lie which should have conflicted him but he then just digs down on the nonsense he believes he’s still got a left wing mantra.
He’s an idiot - his father tried to weaponise the Trust against its own fanbase and he supported it.
It’s not me who said it is only you and he who said labours doing a great job is it?

Its going to do very little, it will be same shit under a different flag. Doesn't even attempt to do anything about issues like ROSCOs.
Just a way to say they've made the railways public while actually doing very little.

Homelessness Minister Rushanara Ali quits over rent increase claims
It comes after she increased rent on a house she owns within weeks of the previous tenants' contracts ending.

I mean a few months is an incredibly long time for a house to be on the market, and with the passing of such a period of time only right that the rent was increased by £700 per month.
Corbyn's shadow cabinet contained MPs who rented out flats.
Nothing will ever be left wing enough for you. It just doesn't exist.
But I guess if Reform get in next time round you can pat yourselves on the back for another job well done

I'm not surprised she's resigned, the optics of it are pretty awful.
But my original point was the headline was awful clickbait shite that made it sound a million times worse than it is.

I am really not sure why you continue to talk about Corbyn as if he is the be all and end all of left wing politics or somebody I care about the next.Corbyn's shadow cabinet contained MPs who rented out flats.

I know to a dyed in the wool Tory like you or shmmeee he's probably akin to Vladimir Lenin but he isn't really far left by any historical standard.
Because I doubt you ever raised concerns about Labour MPs renting out flats back then, now all of a sudden it's a big deal for you.
And yes, quite. As I say, nothing will ever be far enough left for you.

If “abolishing the private rented sector” is your bar for an acceptable government then boy have you got some disappointment in your future.

You will agree with me that the reliance on the private rental sector to provide houses for people who can't buy one is wrong and unsustainable
