You can whistle all you like

This all boils down to conservative housing policy from Thatcher onwards and now everything is going tits up

The right to buy robbed local authorities of loads of properties

They were never replaced by successive governments

Buy to let was encouraged and made plenty of people a lot of money

Combined with this was the slashing of security in the rented sector with people previously able to live for many years renting the same property whilst enjoying the protection of a fair rent

Now it's all market rents .....which means money ! ......and sometimes only 6 months in a flat before you are given notice

No wonder this has become the area where people are dumped and rely on as a last resort

I hope if Truss and her mob of snake oil salesmen are given the boot that starmer bit by bit sorts out housing policy in this country
