Don't believe a word of it , it's all to try and get votes
In 2014 the Tories announced the Starter Homes Initiative......to deliver 200000 homes to first time buyers
It was touted as a " major push " to help people on the housing ladder
Not one single house has been built under this initiative
Expect more bullshit today
What this country needs is not more houses to buy in the private market , it needs a massive social housing building programme .......helping out local councils
But they are obsessed with getting people to own their own homes when other countries in Europe like France and Germany have far more low cost rented housing
There is nothing wrong with renting your home from the local council .....and then passing it on to the next generation .....that's what happened in post war Britain
But the push of the right to buy and Thatcher's aim to change us into a " property owning democracy " ........basically a political move to get votes and weaken the power of local councils all at once ......tied in with pushing people into buying homes they have struggled to afford .......has caused a housing crisis
And this lot won't solve it as they have proved time and time again they talk the talk but don't walk the walk
