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.

Your shameless arse licking aside - Bedworth boy is a Tory now as he’s actually made money late in life - he’s beyond embarrassing

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?

It was in their manifesto. As rail franchises end they’re returning back to public ownership. The first 2 (I think it’s 2) happened earlier this year. Great British Railways is already happening.

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.

A genuinely left wing government would abolish the private rented sector entirely. The renters rights bill offers some pretty meagre protections, many of which the Tories had put into a previous bill.

Left wing twitter update:

"A source close to the homelessness minister said it had been a fixed-term contract and that the house had been put up for sale while the tenants were there.

They said the tenants had been told they could stay on a rolling basis while the house was on the market, but they had chosen to go.

The i Paper said it had also been told the house was only re-listed as a rental because it had not sold."

How incredibly clickbaity from the i Paper. That's absolute shithouse stuff from them.

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.
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
