Curtailing of the right to buy. Probably a good idea?

Rayner suggests tenants will not be able to buy new council homes

Angela Rayner told the BBC restrictions would be placed on new social homes in England.

Pity Pottymouth never got the chance to benefit from the scheme.

Ah, hold on………..

Indeed.

I wonder how many former council owned properties have found their way to now being student HMO’s in Brighton? I’d wager it’s a lot! Meanwhile, young Brighton families are moving out of the city in their droves to find affordable housing. Get ready for another round of primary school closures.

Could always rent Starmer's house or one of the Chancellor's properties (sorry it's on the Mail, also available on New York Times):

Keir Starmer renting out mortgage-free family home worth £2m

Documents last night revealed for the first time that the Prime Minister is the 'owner of [a] let family home'. He has owned a property in Kentish Town for 20 years and paid off the mortgage last year.

Not working people by their own definition

Not sure the PM would be anyone’s definition of an ordinary working person.

Must try harder!

Seems a bit harsh to me. Just another nail in the coffin of the young becoming home owners? It's not the policy of right to buy that has caused the shortage, it is the lack of building replacements surely?

I never said ordinary and I'm not really trying, it just seemed to fit with the housing theme. I'm mostly ambivalent to whatever party is in power. The article did make me smile though as it described Sunak as so rich he didn't need to rent out his Yorkshire pad as if this were a virtuous quality for a PM.
