Her accentuation reminds me of an angry donkey that I met in Greece. Fascinating.

Lol Musk isnt doing any actual engineering. Thats what he employs other people to do. Probably also why he has so much time to spend on social media. The Mainstream media really has to stop idolising him.

The only talent Musk has is picking the right horse. He has invented nothing.

Harlequins FC coats have increased by £250k from Labour's big brain tax changes, that is massive

I'm getting the word...NONCE

Outside interference in the running of the UK..and yet the Government allows Bill Gates and the W.E.F to get away with it 😊

I struggle to feel sorry for Jess Phillips when she doesn’t even seem to acknowledge these rape gangs exist or makes excuses for it and then labels anyone who cares about it far right. She’s awful

Given Musk's obvious non-knowledge and judgement about foreign politics he tries to influnce... I am so staying far away from his businesses. The man obvioulsy is not mentally stable atm.

So cute that people have this impression that he's building rockets in a cave in Afghanistan ala Iron Man. He's the front man for some competent managers at least with Tesla and SpaceX.

I love that you think Elon Musk is doing any kind of engineering. He has employees who do that.

Do you really believe that ‘fact checking’ on mainstream media has turned out to be completely politically neutral?

You can't solve Uks financial woes, through optimism. 60% of the workforce work for the State! 😮 No way will that EVER result in the required PRODUCTIVITY to turn the economy around. Huge structural changes are needed. Not tinkering around the edges.

What cheerleading Starmer gets you…….

Wouldn’t it make more sense to offer mortgages to people who can afford rent? At the moment they’re paying off the landlord’s mortgage plus profit.

Hmm.. interesting discussion. But they miss the key issue that the NHS is utterly terrible at low priority tasks such as arch supports, physiotherapy, musculoskeletal pain therapy, mental health etc. Those things build up and are most probably the root cause of the millions of extra people on sickness benefit who are also no longer paying taxes and producing productive outcomes for society. This must be a priority.

Government can, and do enforce the building of affordable housing through the planning system...whether the percentages being enforced in the applications is enough is another question....What hasn't been mentioned here is the levels of legal immigration over the past 20 years. It's an uncomfortable topic for some to debate, but its had a significant effect on housing in this country.

How can you build enough houses when the demand constantly outstrips the provision L.

Why bother whilst immigration has not been halted and reversed? You wouldn't renovate your home with a burst water pipe and massive flood damage.

As a landlord, Ive never understood landlords who dont maintain their properties. It ultimately devalues your asset in the longer term if you have issues like damp or rot. Saving money in the short term costs you FAR more longer term, either because you cant sell the property or cant re-rent it.

Labour will cock this up and sure they’ll build some units but the only way is to build up. These ultimately end up as new slums for older ones. If a high rise is filled with society tenants it will quickly fall into disrepair.

There is zero understanding of taking risk. Market risk, competitive pressure, supply chain complexity, inflation, talent availability... Trade unions cannot move beyond viewing this discussion through anything other than a single lens. Yes, Paul Nowak needs to protect his members. But without a growing economy, as the government concedes, there just is not the money available to fund overall policy objectives. Thoroughly dejecting to see the lack of understanding on display here.

If you can't afford to live in London why do you keep trying to?

You know exactly who will be given any new social housing thats built.....new arrived immigrants

The whole UK is a slum guys ! Get real and be honest. Try south London, Croydon, Kent (Gillingham, Rochester ) etc ... Horrible, horrible places. Almost dystopian.

I've worked since 14. No inheritance. I worked my self into a good career earning above the average. I've never claimed or been entitled to benefits even though we have 3 children and mum not working. We have 3 future tax payers we're rearing. That big salary between 5 isn’t alot. I saved into my pension to make sure I'm ok in retirement and that i can pass on wealth to my kids. These b@****ds want to take the tax incentives away and take my earnings I've worked to leave to them. It needs to stop. This government is not for working people. It's another government for the rich and migrants.

Councils are corporations; they exist as businesses profiting their execs😮

I find this conversation really difficult to sympathise with. Mainly because I pay for my own housing, and I think everyone else should too. The council collects my bins and that’s about it. I simply can’t imagine approaching the council and saying ‘I need somewhere to live’ and expecting them to sort it for me. I am absolutely not anti benefits - I think it’s a fantastic way to reduce crime and something the UK should be really proud of. However, anyone who is thinking properly should surely see it’s gone too far when councils are housing, paying, transporting and training people and getting nothing back. As a country we have forgotten the ‘beggars and choosers’ argument.

I've been renting privately for years in norfolk. Out of 4 houses I've lived in only one never had significant mould/damp problems. Property managers have always brushed off the problem with comments like "oh you won't believe how many people report this problem to us at this time of year". But it's an all year round problem. It's become significantly more expensive to rent properties of decreasing quality and size in recent years.

I think this might be one of the best discussions I’ve heard recently on the current UK housing situations. Some nuanced discussion for once. I’ve been trying to keep up with both the legislation and the ‘zeitgeist’ recently, and I feel I learned a lot from this episode alone.

Understand that Uk residential property is an asset class for investors, then understand that the forces against increasing supply and building homes for poorer people are simply overwhelming. 😮

How They Broke Britain - 1) Sir War Criminal Bliar. 2) Goebbels Campbell. 3) Mandy Mandelson. 4) Gordon Broon. 5) Call me Dave Cameron. 6) Useless & posh Clegg. 7) Even worse Theresa May. 8) Boris. 9) Globalist & WEF Stooge Sunak. 10) Granny Harmer Sausages Starmer.

How about you two instead of talking a good one go and build houses

So many issues are either directly caused or accelerated by Thatcher, deindustrialisation, unaffordable housing, privatising public services for profit, etc. The gift that keeps on giving.

Is this not meant to be a podcast where they understand some basic finance???? The reason why landlordism has now got worse is because we have had 0% interest rates post 2010. Why does this Middlesbrough silly person not outlay this basic finance fact.

Go back to the 50,s start building public housing in great volume. That is the only way you will achieve affordable housing.

Afraid you are not going to get them with Labour, 350,000 a year, six months in none. That means in the next six months it will have to be a years build. By which time probably half the building firms will have gone to the wall.

You have these problems because the UK is a NIMBY country, bottom up.

Over 80% of private landlords have 1 or two houses...they are small and struggle.. don't have power..this guy talks rubbish

I don't know what this man does but he's got difficulties to express himself

The local councils own alot of social housing which they neglect...its not just the private landlords..its councils

Every private landlord I know is selling up their housing stock coz it’s just been regulated (for good or bad) to being valueless.. but the impact this has is on the purchase of housing, they are not buying housing and consequently, the are not being built.. lots of builders are going bust.. get the gov out of the market with their diddling, with the best of intentions they are making a mess. We need more housing it doesn’t matter if they are private or rented, a house is a house.

Great idea. Just get the government to pay for affordable housing? But where does the government the money from?🤔

2 million houses have not left the market. The population has increased and not enough houses have been built. Who owns the homes is largely irrelevant.

The population has gone through the roof. The majority of people on social housing in London are foreigners!

Thatcher blaming from the left…..Right to buy was in 83. Why didn’t this issue happen in the 80s or 90s?

Both Parties have cleared the way for big landlords and waged war against Mum n Dad landlords. Every other policy mirrors it, pandering to the donor class and the banks. Destroying small business and the Middle class .Any hope that Reform would be any different have just bitten the dust with the billionaire’s puppet move. Developers responsible for building homes are only going to build if there are waiting buyers for homes at market price and there isn’t, so social housing/affordable housing won’t be built. Is there something I don’t know? Are there councils and housing associations queuing up to break ground with pots of money to finance it on their own ? The bottom has just dropped out of the housing market , house prices are dropping contrary to what Rightmove , Halifax , Nationwide and all other vested interests have told us for the last two years. But affordability is no better due to wage stagnation and interest rates/living costs. We are heading into a recession and people are still over paying and potentially looking at negative equity in the event of job losses. It couldn’t be worse for buyers or renters.

NHS spending has increased from 25 % of government spending net of benefits and interest payments to around 40%. A significant upward movement. If we take the Darsi report at face value the NHS is in need of significant remedial action. Any intelligent discussion must start with why this has happened. This must include the startling increase in absenteeism and the number of sick days being taken years after Covid. In parallel, there has to be a honest conversation about technology spending in order to prioritise sensibly. We are worshipping at the wrong temple.

'This is a local news story' - thats very telling that he faced that reaction. People want to ignore this issue more than the NHS issues.

"Housing" is just an investment asset. Not a place to live. have you seen the INSTANT reaction, not least in media, when return on investmnet (interest rate) risks a 0,25% shift?

If only people could buy land and build houses on it instead of being rejected planning while councils take backhand deals from big developers to cram as many houses into a small area as possible.
