Desperation is creeping in. Penny Mordaunt reckons young people are craving the sense of purpose that a new Great British National Service will bring.
National Service! Oh boy.
Good old traditional Tory values in time of a crisis.. National Service is to be followed by the reinstatement of Borstal, public flogging, the death penalty and The Workhouse no doubt? 30p Lee must be foaming at the mouth with excitement !

Social housing for the win. It has been definitively proven that there has to be a well resourced alternative to the private rental sector. Local authorities need to be creating huge new social housing developments.
it's not a vote winner, Tory voters tend to be nimbys and 25% of Tory donors are landlords so they ensure there is a housing shortage so their donor mates get richer from inflated rents

But all is not lost, Sebastian Fox has been made Defence Minister. Surely, the best since "The Russians should go away and shoot-up" Gav..

Are you sure it isn't Michael Green?

I don’t know where you live, but where we live, the NIMBY movement is huge and seems to cross all parties. Until these bods realise that more houses have to be built, there is little hope that property purchase will become even a wee bit more affordable than it is now. The Nimbys down here don’t like it when you point out that the land their houses were built on were once green fields. It really pisses some of them off when I say , as a lad I used to ride my bike right through your gardens!😁

I certainly wouldn't buy a used car off any of them in government.

With houses comes the need for updated sewers, roads, surgeries and schools. None of which are being built or repaired.

I don’t think Nimbys would like more houses built in their neck of the woods regardless of the number of surgeries, roads, sewers and schools etc. They have got their ‘territory’ and to hell with anybody else, despite at the same time whingeing about house prices for youngsters.

Absolutely this, I am 100% for building new council housing, but these new streets must have places for buses to stop, schools, shops, doctor’s surgeries, sufficient sewerage, and the water authorities need to know that they can cater for however many new customers they would get.

Building yet another development requiring car ownership to get anywhere, where the sewers can’t cope, and on a flood plain is shortsighted in the extreme.

Infrastructure is important, neglect your infrastructure at your peril.

which firstly face the same problem, dont build it here, and secondly are built by public purse once there is demand for them. obsurdly often used by NIMBY complaints even when developments include them in the plans.

Done a Frexit, now in London
Looks like Tory banta but the next forever war will make Babcock and BAE even more money, shame we can't check who's got shares in them and what deals shaps is doing to be on the board of directors once the tories are out.

Brighton and Southern Water built new a sewerage treatment plant in Peacehaven but it doesn’t stop sewerage being pumped into the sea. Loads of houses have been built locally but the A259 just cannot cope.

Woe betide anyone trying to get the 700 through Shoreham once the monstrosities on the riverbank have been completed - or indeed trying to get a doctor's appointment locally.
