I made a post about it earlier. Given some parts of London take 80% of wages in rent, and there are no council houses left (I was told I’d just get sent to a hostel in Luton if I asked), the gov needs to do something about it. Not just that, but it’s part of the far right rhetoric. I told a colleague I can’t get a council flat in London, and their response was “yes because the immigrants take all the social housing”. No, it’s because the oligarchs buy up housing for investment and a certain prime minister sold off the council properties.
Thanks for sharing this!
