All good in wealthier parts of the country. An unjust system.

Those suffering terminal illness should be afforded dignity. Families need privacy. Something my mother did not receive.
A properly funded service would provide that throughout this land.

Should the Gov prioritise this shameful situation short term solutions would be found. Feeling angry 😠

100%.
LA'S have no council properties. LHA is too low to match PRS rents.
The only long-term answer is build #affordablehousing at pace.

To be fair the disability hatemongers of the Daily Heil would print headlines like that if the Baby Jesus was PM.

That said, it is bleak. Labour have a landslide, if they don't start acting like it, a FarRight coalition of BadEnoch's Con artists and Farage's FascistPlc will win the next election.

Many private sector tenants reliant on LHA are self funding the shortfall pushing them further into food and fuel poverty. The "Benefits Blame Game" is cheap politics used by all political parties as claiments have no voice.

Building affordable homes is the means to drive down PS rents.

The government has already announced plans for a new 5yr rent settlement in social housing, CPI + 1%. RSP can at least do some financial planning. The private rental sector is a "shark tank" fueled by the lack of affordable housing. LHA and benefits are an easy target. Agree fully with you.

2023/24 New homes: Affordable Rent 24,800.
Shared Ownership 17,300.
Housing Associations provided 5,200 social rent homes, off set by Council Right to Buy sales at 4,500 a net gain of 700.

If any progress is to be made, major changes are required in the building/provision of social rent homes.

Specialist Tax and Estate Accountants would no doubt
assuage their fears. But hey, what would facts bring to the table.
