The obscenity that is the British housing market
We need a massive programme of council house building for rent, and with no right to buy
Bought homes should only be sold for people to live in, not gobbled up by the rich to rent out at ludicrous prices

A waiting list of thousands, and just five new homes for social rent: this city shows the depth of Britain’s housing crisis | John Harris

We are deeply saddened by & condemn the attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue.
Acts of violence have no place in our society. Politicians & the media must ensure their actions in the following days don't stoke division further.
We must focus on the humanity that connects us all.

Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants".
-seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951.
This legally trumps all arguments of “but they arrived by illegal means”. That’s just a fact. That’s why you don’t see asylum seekers arrested & charged. Our MSM must do better.

“Immigration” is always code for racism is something I regularly bang on about. Badenoch’s statement here gets to the heart of it:

Economics of any kind will tell you that excessive profits going to tax havens are always bad.
We have profits in the UK that are 200% higher than in 2008, but wages are only 30% higher.
While at least £300bn a year is going to Tax Havens.
This is what needs to be tackled.

Gideon Levy puts him right.
Didn't Jenkins ask himself, is a genocidal apartheid regime that denies millions of people under its control their basic civic rights really a democracy? I guess not.

How low we have sunk. To still have that fag-breathed race-baiter bossing our politics. To have left the EU on his xenophobic lies. To have failed so completely to hold him to account and to now be flailing around in his fascist cesspit talking about ‘mass deportations’.
