On The Rest is Politics Campbell has said he thought it was a mistake to have the budget so long after the election and I think he’s right. It gives the impression of a vague meandering with nothing happening.

It’s just a total coincidence the costs are the same then? Weird story

Easier to show you the process. It’s by council , so each can have different rules, but Southwark has been the council with the most council houses for a long time so it’s a good enough example. Basically you need to have lived there a while and not own your own home. Getting to the top of the list is probably harder than getting on it.

And yes the problem is the councils are banned from borrowing to build housing or using proceeds from selling to build more as I understand.

Sounds like the same argument against banning smoking in pubs, which is probably the single greatest health intervention in the last fifty years and now supported by basically everyone.

I didn’t see it earlier but I’d have assumed this was saying the police should be chasing Rotherham child abusers not wasting time on riots.

The green party, I suppose we were being too harsh when saying they’re nimbys who don’t want wind turbines built.

They’re nimbys who don’t want lots of other things built too

The problem with this angle is green issues mean two things in the UK

  1. Not building wind farms
  2. Building wind farms near me

Not sure what the end paragraph is for, bestforbritain famously only use MRP polling not national swing polling. They’re really good

Tories, Labour and Reform are very close at the moment. It’s easier for the greens and lib Dems to vote labour I guess so it makes sense to back labour to beat farage

If they were a failed asylum seeker why weren’t they just deported back to their home country? Why pay them to leave us when they have no right to be here at all?
