This governments so called house building programme won't help those in housing need get what is required ......low cost rented housing

It's going to push more people into debt

In the post war period there was no shame in renting from the local council

But Thatcher for political reasons , to win votes and weaken the local councils , pushed the right to buy with massive subsidies and we are left with the housing crisis we have today .....a nation obsessed with home ownership and people breaking their backs to keep up with mortgages they can't afford

Capitalism is taking us to oblivion
