Over 5 years, this government will subsidise private landlords' income by over £70bn - that's more than six times the affordable housing budget (£11.5bn).
We're using public funds to prop up the private-rented sector.

Last night, as Chair of the APPG on Youth Affairs, I invited young people to Parliament to share their views on social media. They called for stronger protections to keep them safe while allowing creativity and connection. Thanks to all who took part.

The govt is asking MPs to vote in a new four-point PIP eligibility criteria this week.
Wes Streeting suggests here a DWP PIP assessment review could reconsider that.
If this is so, the govt should press pause and not ask MPs to rush through the welfare bill.

Working people are leading Britain’s clean power mission- building the turbines, wiring the grids, and powering a fairer, cleaner future.

Some in Labour HQ may want to reflect on this - here’s a policy which has drastically improved air quality, benefitting the poorest citizens. But Starmer’s LOTO started criticising it because a couple of Clarkson bigmouths complained in focus groups & they (wrongly imho) blamed it for Uxbridge loss
Still, opposing it did win the Tories the Uxbridge by-election and encouraged Rishi Sunak to slow down on net zero, so....
