Another U turn - rented housing
Jump to: Newest in thread
The government’s promise to make private rented homes in England fit for habitation will now not be enforced for almost a decade, and not in this Parliament.
The delay to implement a decent homes standard in over four and a half million private rented properties, contradicts ministers promising to introduce “robust standards” to combat disrepair, damp and energy inefficiency.
The English Housing Survey in 2020-21 found that 21% of privately rented homes did not meet the DHS, with 12% having a category 1 hazard, meaning they posed a significant safety risk. |

"There is already rules but most councils don't enforce them that's the biggest problem"
The second problem is that if the landlord does want to make improvements and is foolish enough to let the council know, they do enforce all the rules, creating a hellish bureaucratic nightmare of paperwork. |

22 February 2024 Rayner said Labour have “inherited a Tory housing crisis” and that her government will take “a wave of bold action to not only build the housing our country needs and boost social and affordable housing, but to ensure all homes are decent, safe and warm”.
Is the now 12 year wait acceptable.

"Time to fit a roundabout in Downing St.🔄"
How about making achievable pledges.
There won’t be 40 new hospitals
We can’t build 1.5 million new homes
There won’t be a Brexit bounce
We can’t stop the boats
We are blockers not builders. Etc |

All politicians lie, they don't get elected if they tell the truth. We had 14 years of self serving Conservative lies. Let us at least finish 5 years of Labour lies.
It is time to understand that most politician's promises are, however nice they sound, impossible to deliver. As an shining example, listen to Reform.
However, the voting public is generally ignorant of what is politically possible so constantly falls for snake oil salesmen's promises. As a shining example listen to Reform.
The litmus test is, once in power, are the ruling party doing enough to address the serious issues like the ever growing mountain of National debt or the continued provision of services we can no longer afford?
Popularist leaders kick the can down the road. Leaders who do not are made unpopular when they attempt to address these issues. Is there any wonder that they continue to avoid difficult issues? |

It's opposition hype vs government reality.
Opposition hype is: Look at what we, the cuddly touchy feely Labour party, will do for all you poor people.
Government reality is: Oh fuck that will never work so kick it into the long grass so we can carry on crowing about it but never get taken to task when the shit hits the fan.
Basic politics really. |

"Blame brexit and the lying cunt farage
How are Brexit and Farage responsible for the Labour government failing to implement a manifesto pledge?"
Money, or lack of it.
Brexit is a disaster promoted by a pair of lying cunts |

"Blame brexit and the lying cunt farage"
"How are Brexit and Farage responsible for the Labour government failing to implement a manifesto pledge?"
"Money, or lack of it."
How does a lack of money prevent Labour from implementing rental reforms? If money really is the problem, why didn't Labour increase taxes to help pay for it?
Given the amount of money Labour have spent on public sector pay rises, benefit increases, and the NHS, how sure are you that Brexit and Farage are solely to blame? |

"Blame brexit and the lying cunt farage
Blame him for what?
He’s never been in government."
So that means he can't possibly have any influence over voters?
In which case, I'm surprised that he bothers. |
