Just hope they are healthy! That's enough.

No. These were all of the options. YouGov do like to troll with their daily surveys lol. I bet they do it just for engagement.

Brilliant.

Many journalists just want to build their own wealth and own houses, that's what seems to come first. Hence all of this, and the constant self-advertisement.

Exactly they even had a discussion about this other day and concluded that they would just keep doing the same thing anyway. Lol. It was a total shirking of responsibility.

Well no they certainly shouldn't be ignoring him lol. That's just what we have now but with Reform instead of Lib Dems.

Spot on ! And the rest of us are equally pissed off .. it’s not just the Lib Dems .. it’s anyone who is sick to the back teeth of mainstream media platforming this fraud and his fraudulent β€œparty β€œ

My main point was that being a landlord isn't her only source of income.

I'm aware of that actually but I meant in comparison to me being on universal credit + UC health. You would still be living comfortably.

The state pension is pretty generous from my point of view.

Totally agree.

Shouldn't be possible to be a landlord. Then things would be much cheaper.

And nobody should be a Landlord! This capitalist commodification of something which is the basis for peoples' entire lives is crazy to me, thinking objectively. The difference between having affordable & secure housing and not is a massive inequality in society, even on the level of physical health.

You are going without Salah and Haaland. At this point you have nothing to lose πŸ˜‚.

Absolutely. Israel needs to become estranged on the international stage.

We stop tons of terrorist attacks each year happening here. Are Israel leveraging some role that they have in that? Would probably be an interesting subject to read about.

I totally agree with you but then again it was built on that PFI stuff which is still hurting us today and into the future. Really poisons the legacy. Definitely better than what came after though.

That's actually amazing. Never seen this before!

It's absolutely true. So many middle class out their whom aspire to be a landlord at the first opportunity without ever any thought about the implications.

For sure it is an amazing change, I experienced a section 21 eviction a few years ago and before that knew nothing about it or had ever thought about this kind of thing. Amazing to see it abolished so soon.

Just incredible to see the homelessness minister not being on the same page!

Indeed. I bet all of the ministers are landlords so they didn't even bat an eye. A different world.

Yes. By elimination of all other solutions such as slightly cutting pensioner income! We effectively asked for it. So I'm totally happy with it.

08.08.2025 12:03 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Why not? It might be. It completely destroys the small boats business model. It might yet be the solution, we will have to see.

08.08.2025 00:36 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

It reduces both necessarily.

Inexplicable that this was ever the case.

Another tangible result from voting for Labour and one of those rare thingsβ€” something for young people!

Nope.

They are told they are adults. They are legally adults. And they must pay the same for everything such as rent as every other adult.

Sounds like businesses and the state have been having their cake and eating it at the expense of 18-21-year-olds!

"The owner then secured a tenancy at market rent"

…yes, which was the plan all along. Don't be so naive as to think that she didn't make it as unappealing as possible. Funny how not one tenant accepted the new conditions.

It is clearly a Landlord's clever trick to increase the rent.

It's a story that just gets worse the harder you look at it, isn't it?
