    Tories are giving away £12 billion of taxpayer money to private firms to build private homes starting around an apparently "affordable" £0.5 million. As the gap between rich and poor widens further and homelessness increases, what people need is social house building. Instead Tories have just been selling them off to private landlords who are charging people market level rents while not replacing the houses sold.

    We have many homeless people here in the U.S. also. People who aren't living in such poverty want to be in denial about it. They want to think the homeless are just lazy, stupid, addicted to drugs, or mentally ill. Many are. Many of them are functional & work full time. They don't earn enough to pay rent or mortgage. It is an outrage!!! The government throws money around like it's theirs & they won't raise minimum wages. How does the government expect to continue to get rich off the working people, when they aren't making enough money to pay income taxes? This greed is wicked.

    • @AtheistEve

      Bobby Digital And council houses need to stay in council ownership. No selling off cheap without building a replacement. Banks and building societies should not be able to offer loans based on two full incomes; most people can’t keep up two permanent, full-time incomes - they often have to cope with redundancy, sickness and caring for other family members such as children and elderly.

      There are already loads and loads of buy-to-let landlords selling up because they're exasperated how badly the law is weighted in favour of the tenant. I speak from experience! And you could build a million council houses and they'll just get snapped up by pregnant girls. (ie the daughters of the previous generation of welfare mums)

    I can't pretend to understand all the reasons people end up homeless. But more working people are being made homeless. For many many years government has made laws and loopholes for a few to make millions. The minimum wage people are squeezed. Government run institutions like councils and hospitals pay agencies instead of employing people. More money siphoned of for a greedy few. High pay expense accounts. Spouse and children on the pay roll.who have never entered the premises. The people we vote for have caused these problems.. we need a person to stand up for what is right for the whole population. One who once voted in doesnt just look after number one and there mates.. the wealth is there. Just needs to be shared in a fairer way

    What's gone wrong? You allow successive governments to not build anywhere near the amount of homes we need, allowed the population to expand without planning, when homes are build, they are cheap, ghastly concrete high rises which half will be private, and you drive the private rented sector out due to excessive overlapping laws and crippling taxes, whilst allowing council and housing association stock to rapidly deteriorate but still provide tax payers cash for them. That's why we have a housing crisis issue.

    That is not the Governments fault. We asked to leave the EU for this reason as well. Too many people in the country. It’s no good these people going on about cuts. The real problem is too many people that the EU forced USF to take in. Angela Merkel have caused this problem and it is all over Europe. I don’t know how they can blame the Goverment when it was Angela Merkel and the other unelected ass hold caused this. Jeremy Cobyn goes on about the homeless yet he want’s to stay in the EU. What the f.... is he on about. You can’t moan over NHS, Housing and homelessness when we have been forced by the EU to take in thousand and thousands of emigrants and invaders. These Muslim men take 1,2,3 and 4 Wives I the next three generations how many children would just one family have by the second generation could have as many as almost 180 children. That would be children and Grandchildren. Per one family by the second generation. We will be out populated in 40 to 50 years time as Enoch Powell predicted. That’s how stupid Jeremy Corbyn is. You can’t keep having thousands of Immigrants in every year. The NHS would collapse. More people on the streets and money would run out because of the demand for more and more houses. Hospital’s would be over run in the AE also the Hospitals would have to have conveyer belts installed for all the Muslim births because they have more than one Wife. Could be 2, 3, or 4 Wives. Now how the hell would Jeremy Corbyn pay more and more money to the NHS more to Police, more to Schools, more for transport, more for Nurses, more for Doctors. If he dose what he said he would do our Country would be bankrupted in no time. It cannot be done. We are coming out of the EU. She do have to be prudent with the money she spends. Common sense would tell you that. Jeremy was on about free Tuition fees. How the hell could he do that. See the big problem him the Shadow Chancellor and Dianne Abbot has is they won’t know what they are spending because they can’t count. How the Hell could you put dull people like that in power. Also Jeremy seems to like Terrorists been as he took one in the Houses Of Parliament a few weeks ago. A few day’s later the same man tried to blow it up but got caught now he done the same years ago and took an IRA man into the House Of Parliament and they done exactly the same tried to blow up Parliament. This last mans that tried to blow up Parliament had a knife on him as well and wanted to stab Theresa May in the confusion but luck enough he got caught. Jeremy is a dangerous man. Just like Sadig Khan. He stands on platforms with terrorists. Moderate Muslims he said. There’s no such thing. When the shit hits the fan they always stick together. Just a tiny minority won’t do that. Why would people want to vote fore a dangerous man that have openly admitted he don’t like Western Coulter. He want’s to get rid of our Nuclear deterrent. How dangerous is he. He said if we were threatened within 20 minutes by another country would he press the button he said no. He would watch us all get wiped out. That’s the kind of dangerous person he is. He actually gets on well with extremists.

      There are other options London has very high rents for a city it size New york rents are around 4/5 london’s because of london’s protected view. Entrepreneurs who want to supply housing cannot get through our planning system.
