"Corporations have 80 lobbyists, 30 lawyers, 12 tax exemptions and is collecting government subsidies on four non-existing R&D divisions. And they're collecting deregulation on their safety and quality standards. They've got SEC immunity, getting fat profits from stock buybacks, and they're collecting tax breaks under each of their LLCs. Their tax-free cash income alone is over 1 trillion quarterly." - Ronald Reagan, Jan 1976, Asheville N.C Campaign Trail Speech, *If he'd identified the reality instead of declaring war on the working poor and 'Welfare Queens".*

Most people are employed by the private sector.

@@rapier1954 That would explain why the overwhelming majority of people on Earth cannot afford a simple, few hundred dollar emergency.

The LabLibCon alliance want house prices to grow every year and are always willing to implement coercive initiatives to encourage buyers to borrow way beyond their means just to put a roof over their head, They and their MSM friends have convinced the masses that ever increasing house prices will make them wealthier and getting on the property ladder is the only option.

​@@djdrogsGreens make deals with sovereigntist, autonomist and secessionist parties especially if it breaks up a nuclear power. If it gets rid of a corrupt shitlib party, Greens may tactically ally with the center right. Greens are not part of the "left" as such because workers rights are subordinate to the biosphere. So no protecting coal, nuclear, war industry, fracking or mining jobs.

If you can explain to me how being FOR mass and illegal immigration is Green, as a British Islander, in massively overloaded, over-developed little England, I'll paint myself Green (like local Chinese officials do to entire dead mountain sides and fields so they look green to CCP drones, so they get their CCP handout).

Yes have to agree 100%! After she backed Starmer’s comments that Israel had a right to commit the war crime of collective punishment of 2.2million Palestinian civilians. Then when questioned by Ash said “ I thought they were just gonna turn the lights out for a little while!” Absolutely vile! This is Israel she was talking about! She’s well aware of the constant war crimes of this rouge state!

AND JEREMY CORBYN He will continue to make a difference

Having attempted to get rid of him - they cannot succeed. For Jeremy is the man we need! To mis-quote The Jam

It's just a shame he likely doesn't have much time left in politics. He's an old man, and I don't mean that in a bad way, because I am a huge Corbynite, actually I'm an outright socialist. I'll be absolutely gutted when he does retire; Honest voices are difficult to find in politics, always have been, but more so now.

​@@RugbyPass81 There is still lots of fire in Jeremy.

@@gaiagreen2690 There is, I absolutely agree and I'd like to believe he'll go for another general election before handing his cards in. I think he'll do one more GE, but after that? I suspect he'll leave work as an MP and focus on campaigning in an alternative manner.

All the while parroting main stream media on this narrative, hmmm.

They're not really objective, as they're Far Left as far as I can tell, like Le Pen. They believe in Nationalised Industries, like Le Pen. The neo left seem to be obsessed with replacing their national workers with foreign workers, while Le Pen is Trad Left so more like China, North Korea, The S.U. immigration-wise (but she's 10x more liberal on emigration rights).

It isn't that bold to be fair but at least it's winning. Now we wait for the socialist party and the green to betray, cause that's what they do here in France.

Condoning the war crime of collective punishment is about as bad as it could get!

See Patrick Wright, A Journey through Ruins: The Last Days of London. I think it's here that he points out that a lot of the towers were built by Tories to keep the lower orders out of the Essex countryside. Didn't want them spoiling the Home Counties fantasy of England.

Just a little negative there. For what is to stop tenants from joining together and calling on the Govt to invest in decent, modern, lower-cost social housing? Instead agreeing any more stock transfers, is it not time to defend council housing - by pushing for the Fourth Option?

yes. and it is so so obvious too.

For whom.

left is destroying everything.

@@freedom4639 The many, not the few.

This is so important. Where I live in Kent there are lots of lego towns being built on our wildlife lands. They lack social and institutional infrastructures. They are on unadopted roads. They are not affordable housing. They are developments for profit that are destroying forever what little green spaces we have left.

It’s not more privatisation

​​@@RobinHarris-nf4yv Yes it is are you not listening? This is also going to be the case for NHS too, mark my words. What did you think the private sector are going to build houses and hand them over to the government 😂😂😂. It's tried and tested we've been doing this now for years and what have we got a housing crisis. Public housing is an investment and the money and assets go back into government and the economy to rebuild the country money going to private landlords landowners etc does not it goes into an account somewhere and nothing ever gets put back into the country. Look at the empty high rises built by the private sector with no one living in them because they are expensive and not fit for purpose as far as building regs go.

@@mysterymaverick1982 the private sector have always built houses to buy. The public sector never have.

There's also former members of the Socialist party in Macron's party, including Gabriel Attal. They shouldn't be lumped in with either.

@@forianproductions6113 They're all neolibs. the finer distinctions between them are irrelevant in my view.

Macron is center of 3 blocks in a whole system drifting to the right

@@forianproductions6113 Damn. My post was removed simply for calling them all neolibs...

@@forianproductions6113 true, but these guys are the most rightist of all, calling for more "authority", law and order, and attacking Muslims. Attal's first law as a minister was forbidding the abaya in schools (not even a religious dress but it looked too Arab and Muslim to them).

They haven’t talked about social housing It’s obvious houses to buy are built by the private sector

It's just more of the same feeding the public statistics they can't really use or care nothing for. 10 houses here and there 10000 it's just a broken record controlled by a mental parrot. If the government said something like iso containers or pods 3d built or quansic type American shelters even concrete sprayed tent style then at least then some ears might prick up. But it's numbers.

The country is crying out for affordable housing and nothing offered by the private sector is remotely affordable to buy or rent unless you are on above average earnings. Building mass social housing for those stuck in expensive private rentals would improve 4 million households lives to the detriment of private landlords and those that see a house as an investment. None of the 3 main parties will dare tackle the UK's housing problem in fear of the reprisals from MSM and the markets.

It’s to early to judge Don’t get me wrong I’m with you and what you say but I’m also open to have my mind changed. It’s a fact that Labour have inherited a broken country and it’s going to be extremely difficult to fix it. So to speak.

Still better than Tory neoliberalism.

​@@mrD66Mno we want neoliberalism out. Do you honestly think uk would vote in farage? He's a novelty act/ protest vote.

Why do the left hate nature so much?

Im sure birds will learn in time will just fly around or above . It call the Darwin theory see

They have the potential to be under a communist coalition. So, many people will become more right leaning now. And yes to answer your question, that is strange

It’s better than endlessly paying rent!

Like the other commenter has said, it beats paying rent forever. I’m currently stuck in the rent cycle where I’m having to move all of my belongings every year or so to a new more affordable area and it’s paralysing not being able to ever settle down in my own “home”

And I’m sure many feel the same as us (renters)

Yeah, that wasn't great. Plant factories for example aren't terribly viable for most produce.

Agree - Michael's (& Bastani when he's on) opinion on planning is often generalised and verges on authoritarianism. From my own experience planning issues are contextualised in the specifics of place, hence why it is often better to assess on individual merits, rather than just a centralised decision making. That's not to say planning process shouldn't be reformed in England as it's about making better decisions. I think there are opportunities to democratise the planning system, where ordinary local people can decide and factor in national interests, local interests, energy/housing/transport strategies as well as addressing inequalities etc. Worth remembering it's England they are talking about too, especially when it comes to onshore wind farms - Scotland been building onshore windfarms over past 10 years. And if Novara had done their homework on this they would see it's not just planning that stopped onshore wind farms being built in England but also financial incentives like the Tories pulling feed in tariffs. Novara excellent on loads of things, but again this section verged on pub talk lazy journalism. Novara you're better than that.
