    Tories to build thousands of affordable second homes

    THE government is to build 200,000 second houses to help homeowners onto the buy-to-let ladder. 29-year-old Emma Bradford said: “We’ve just gotten married and would like to start exploiting other people like us. :eek:

    same old socialist lies to cover for no realistic policies (well no policies at all at the moment)

    i like the biscuit crumbs excuse

    our last landlord tried to take money out of our deposit because there was a bit of dust on top of a light switch

    Fortunately, i wiped it off with my finger and saved her the entire hassle of hiring a cleaning company

    Not from your ivory tower of Landlord forums, Tory conferences, and right wing rags perhaps. Visit the real world:
    On housing, Corbyn’s policies align with the wish list of almost anyone hit by the housing crisis: lift the housing revenue account cap to allow councils to build council and social housing (a manifesto pledge also endorsed by Andy Burnham), longer tenancies, private landlord registration, rent regulation and private rents linked to average local earnings. “It has become clear that when housing provision is left purely to market forces most of our young people simply cannot afford to get a foot on the rung of the market’s so called housing ladder,” Corbyn said.
