This is a scam. The problem is not land to build on. The problem is building affordable homes on that land. That will not be done by the private sector, but only by local and central governments. But, like, fiscal rules, right?

@raphaeldogg There's plenty of empty buildings in every major city that can resolve all our housing problems.
@raphaeldogg Spot on. It is social housing that is needed. That needs dosh and cheap land. Building council houses NEVER stopped being a good idea. Sadly we more or less stopped that 40+ years ago thanks to Thatcher and Blair. Fixing it can’t happen over night. But we must start NOW!
@raphaeldogg Private builders have a vested interest in high demand and high prices. What do they care about social problems?
@raphaeldogg @AlexMorrish And any affordable homes built by LAs will be sold under RtB, which LP is still clinging on to.
@raphaeldogg Who is going to pay for the remediation of those brown fields sites before they are built on? Developers sure as hell won't do it for social housing
@raphaeldogg You come on my timeline to tell me a #Labour policy is a scam? Please wait until one of theirs isn't.
@raphaeldogg @0Calamity Use CPOs to buy land and build council houses to rent with no RTB.
@raphaeldogg Just means bigger and bigger profits for house building companies…and bigger dividends and higher pay for shareholders and CEOs… New, New Labservative..
@raphaeldogg Is the land where all the toxic waste has been buried.
