She will probably be elected next time
Im sure Zarah Sultana PM is just around the corner.
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.

£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.
Why are you so obsessed with people's dad's? Ugh, so fucking creepy.
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.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.
Read this in a cockney accentThe whole forum knows who is father is?
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.Arse licking is your speciality, your desperation to be liked by someone, anyone, is quite tragic at times.
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.www.bbc.co.uk
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.
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 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.

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

Some people don't want to buy a home. Lots of people could afford to buy one but choose not to because renting suits their circumstances. I don't get this take at all.
Isn't it a sector that's more widely used and gives better outcomes for tenants in a lot of countries in Europe? i.e. it's more closely regulated, encourages stability etc.?
You'd probably need to base it on whatever the landlord bought the house for. A number of my Tory friends are private landlords who have bemoaned that the previous government made life easier for tenants, which probably sums up the general state of play. If the juice isn't worth the squeeze they'll sell up.What about rent controls? Set a maximum that can be charged for each property, would that help?
Would be very easy to implement here as every property already has a 'value' as it has a council tax band.
Ultimately we need to build a lot of houses and fast but there's little sign of that happening. Where I live there's been plans for a new housing estate with 2.5K houses for as long as I can remember, its had planning permission for 5 years, still no sign of any work starting anytime soon. What was the last build of more than a handful of houses in Cov, Bannerbrook?

Has it sustained itself?Will I? It seems to have sustained itself pretty well so far.
I’ll agree that the market is distorted thanks to decades of undersupply and that’s leads to all sorts of unwanted side effects including excessive landlordism. The best thing that could happen is we start building houses. Hopefully Labour can get that through and your mates won’t scupper it and claim to be left wing.
The key word is private
Jesus weptIs it? Some people can afford to buy but don't want to. Why is that not a market the private sector would want a piece of? Genuinely confused on this one.

What are you bring a patronising tw*t for?
Because you are being obtuseWhat are you bring a patronising tw*t for?
I think the main driver is the access to finance,it seems to meHas it sustained itself?
We've got increasing homelessness (which is also linked to increase in population) but most importantly the cost of housing as a percentage of earnings is going up and a major factor in the cost of living crisis.
Part of that will be due to poor wages and wage stagnation but the fact people are buying properties as investments and income generators increases the cost as those people offer more than people wanting a house to live in as it's a business investment and then recoup that (plus profit) in rent is a huge factor as well.
Increasing supply by building houses is undoubtedly an important factor in sorting out the cost of housing, but if you added in big restrictions on the private rental market in terms of number of properties allowed to be owned and not allowing for profit companies to own residential property this would also have a huge impact.
The main objection to the rental economy is that people generally would prefer a house to purchase.
because of how sh*t the rental market is.
