Labour Manifesto

[Baddegg]

People keep asking where is the labour/workforce coming from to build labours 1 million houses......if labour get in there will be an abundance of cheap labour...

 

[Pete999]

think I will have to stand. here is mymanifesto.....

1. force brexit through , deal or no deal.
2 scrap HS2. nobody wants a rail line through their back garden up here.
3. legalise all drugs on prescription (no free ones. £30 ish a pop). this will rduce drug related crime and make the NHS profitable.
4. Cut tax on beer and smokes.
5. Reduce VAT to 10%
6. impose a levy of £1 on every comment made on facebook to offset the vat reduction
7. Ban timber frame houses, dry lining, and "throw it up as cheap as possible".
8. make Liverpool the country's capital and re-purpose westminster , downing st, and half of london to homeless hostels.
9. would also propose the summary execution of plumbers, but i think that might be going too far.

I for one would like to know Mr Corbin and D would finance the NHS after they Nationalise it, where would the money come from to finance e this ridiculous idea? cutting credits for those in genuine need? we as a Country need to help our population, stop pouring £Millions into Foreign aid, help by all means but not to the detriment of our own Population, answers on a postcard to me, can't wait for the Labour candidates to grace my doorstep over the next few days,
PS I'm not anti aid but look after number one first, seems the norm these days. Freedom of speech rule here?????????

If they release greenbelt land and let any Tom Dick or Harry bash them up, we will end up with huge estates of substandard houses that will come back to haunt us in years to come.

They'll have no trouble finding the land, they'll just seize it from the Developers.
Ooh, another own goal.

They won't get them built anyway GRETA will stop them because of the millions of miles lorries and transit vans will be doing all around the country, killing of her planet again.

 

[telectrix]

can just imagine under labour (with the support of the lib cretins) all lorries will need to be electric, not diesel, to transport all the building materials to site. no timber to be used, as that entails cutting down trees. bricks will also be banned as the need to be fired in kilns which use fossil fuels. new houses will be constructed entirely of kingspan to comly with energy efficiency.

That actually sounds a good idea. Make it no.10 on your manifesto.

was thinking of making no'10 the banning of VW vans, give the owners a £1 trade-in against a 10 year old Hiace. they know it makes sense.

.....If they charged council housing at market rent, then upped the housing benefit to compensate, you'd solve the problem...

Council housing should be low rent on a need basis, for life if desired.

Matching council rents to market rents will have an inflationary effect on market rents as most people would, if they could, pay more not to be in council accommodation, sad but true.

The problem is social housing has become an investment class worth over £20Billion so rational polices that deliver a workable solutions are resisted by lobbyists on behalf of the lettings and construction industry.

That £20Billion has doubled over the last 20 years. It's time we stopped looking ar these payments as a gift to the Tennant and rathera gift to the Landlord.

It is only legislaton that stops local authorities building, maintaining and selling their own social housing.

The problem is nobody has figured out how to stop public works departments descending to the largesse of the 70s.

 

[Baddegg]

Council houses should be for the most needy,rents should be set to a percentage of income.....that would stop the likes of Bob crow (now deceased) and many others I’ll wager living in a council house whilst earning £120000 a year, that ain’t right

I grew up on a council estate. Back then, the 60s and 70s, the people on the estate represented a cross section of society. My neighbour worked in a factory, his neighbour had a paper shop, I remember there was a GP, my dad was a milkman and my Mum managed to get a job at the Bank of England when we were in our teens.

I think it’s for this reason that the estate was clean and the houses were kept well and the gardens cared for.

The problem nowadays is that in a lot of areas, social housing is so rare that only the very needy get it. This means that you don’t get a cross section of society living together, no professional or skilled people, only the very poorest or neediest. They’re not pleasant places to live, so the more reasonable people move out.

So, I firmly believe that the rents should be reasonable, not related to wages, that’s what housing benefit is for. And you should be able to keep them for life, regardless of whether or not your circumstances change.

Oh, and Bob Crow never earned £120 000.

Who is Bob Crow?

 

[Baddegg]

My bad....bobs “basic” salary was just under £90000....more than enough to buy his own place or rent privately and free up his house for people that aren’t as fortunate or pay a fair proportion of his earnings.....how can anyone on that amount of basic salary qualify for subsidised/low cost housing? There are children out there who have nowhere to live!
