Where Their Heart Is

Astoundingly enough, it appears that at least one of Team Starmer's pledges is on course to remain unfulfilled, despite the possibility that its fulfillment might aid someone other than landlords, capitalists or the Farage Falange, and despite the pledge itself having been made by Team Starmer. A report commissioned by the National Housing Federation indicates that the Government's targets for affordable housing will require greater investment than the Conservatives put in; which is a little awkward when the Government is only really interested in deregulation, rowing back on the green crap, and constructing Fortress Britannia against the day when the fiend Putin's tanks roll into Calais. At least we can hope that Team Starmer's policy of removing social security benefits from the vulnerable may lead to some useful attrition among those who seek to distort the property market with lower prices.
