High quality eco friendly social housing that has highly affordable rents and or part by part rent options for those who understandably don’t want to pay off effectively their landlords mortgage via rent for rest of life But not simply for young people but for those who work fulltime in south east especially who pay huge rents but have no home of own because rents unaffordable they can’t afford to save for huge deposit . This isn’t simply a problem of young couples. What about a huge percentage of single people and those who single but have their 20 / 30 something kids still living in their rented homes . As with everything in this country system broken and developers sitting on land already given planning permission for years waiting for prices to go up before they build. If these property speculators are ultra greedy land should be confiscated and built on by local council.

[@fredkay6743]

It's no good saying "we're going to build more houses" since that's exactly what every MP say's and has said since the dawn of time. What they should be saying is "we will build more affordable housing to a reasonable standard of living", which is the more important issue, in my opinion. So many new build projects are now built with all kinds of problems to be dumped onto the would-be buyer, like undesirable locations with poor drainage, unfinished or bodged workmanship and lack of access to amenities. It's disgusting the amount of new houses built in this country that are marketed as "affordable" are actually finished to a very poor standard. Ill-fitted doors and windows, unplumbed carpentry and brickwork, shoddy guttering, unfastened handrails, plaster work half done, unconnected extraction fans, unfinished bathroom tiling and sealing, unfinished flooring and shoddy roof bracing. All these are known issues identified in new build housing, most of which are government funded.

[@fredkay6743]

@TheEternalPonderer Well, I didn't say to a high standard. I said to a reasonable standard. There's a difference. A reasonable standard would be a newly constructed home that is built to government regulation, is complete and ready for purchase with no bodged, or half arsed workmanship.

In Spain foe example the average electricity bill is about £120 a month. Re-nationalise everything., electricity, gas, water, trains etc. That's what the leader of the Labour Party should be championing

[@sircxx8621]

[@tudorgwynn9189]

Just building houses isn't going to help. House prices will still be ridiculous. New social housing is what is needed. And not through private housing associations who are in it for profit, but actual council housing. Starmer is just a tory in a red tie. I pitty my children's generation. Unless they're born into money there's no hope of buying a house in the uk. The amount of young adults emigrating is skyrocketing because of it. Which will obviously have a detrimental effect on the uk in the long run.

[@jimmeer]

Martin Lewis needs to get with it and look into why we are being charged such astronomical amounts for gas when the market prices have dropped so dramatically.

[@hohohohehehe6910]

Why don't you look into it? I'm pretty sure Martin has already explained that.

[@jimmeer]

@@hohohohehehe6910 what was his explanation?

[@DylRicho]

Irrespective of that, the majority of our energy comes from renewables and nuclear. The problem is that energy produced in this manner is priced according to the price of natural gas. This was ironically one of Liz Truss's pledges to fix, and the only thing that I agreed with her on. Nobody has spoken about this since, but it's absolutely a thing.

[@MsCharlieBrown78]

In my city, the only housing being built is specifically for students. Old housing is also being renovated into flats for students.. where is the social housing Nottinghamshire was promised? One patch of land has been standing derelict for over 6 years, despite a billboard saying social housing coming soon. This is not good enough. We need homes for the unemployed, and the less off. Not sky high rents and luxury living for students - who go home every term leaving properties standing vacant for long periods of time!

[@jennybyford8071]

Genuine question here, has prices of bills (any bill ) or tax ever been lowered? I’m 42 and can’t think of a time.

[@50037]

We don't need more homes being built, people can't afford them. The fact that Investers are offloading BTL properties is what's needed, more homes becoming available will hopefully drive price's down and the people that were renting may be able to buy them.😮

[@vivwindsor4055]

There are huge tracts of land that used to be in public ownership close to our inner cities, that were given away to private developers in the name of 'regeneration'. It was thought at the time that land was worthless, now it is priceless but it is now in private hands. It is now lost forever, i'm all for building affordable housing or social housing, but where would you build it??

[@user-ts4lp7ss5i]

This house building thing I really don’t get. Every village and town you pass through over the last few years and now has huge developments on green fields, some more than one. So how can they spout that we need to build more and we are not building enough?

[@Nigelfarij]

With the aging population, I think one of the issues is that there are lots of retired couples who are still living in large family homes. So, we need people to downsize. However, the current stamp duty system disincentivises that,

​@@hayzeebloke perhaps we should limit the amount of children people should have also? A reduction in immigration and a 2 child policy like China would certainly preserve such huge growth. Then again, childbirth is down so realistically, the UK is going to need more immigration in future decades because we just wont have enough workers to support the aging populations pensions. So perhaps we need to think more long-term on the immigration front? I don't know.

Not every house can be insulated, some of the older terrace houses have been told that the likes of cavity insulation will cause more problems like damp. We have put insulated plasterboard up on our wall which has worked a little, what else can we do!

Good insulated plasterboard is very effective. An 100mm insulated internal stud with an air gap in front of it makes an enormous difference

[@kdog4587]

​@@henryburton6529 sorry to jump on this but would advise insulation plasterboard throughout the entire house if it's not got cavities? We have a 1920s semi and it's something I keep wondering if we should do

[@henryburton6529]

@@kdog4587 It depends on your room size. If you have large rooms I would build a stud wall from 2x4 (50x100) timber (or similar) inside each external wall and fit 100mm (or similar) thick PIR insulation. Foil tape the gaps to ensure air tightness. Then plasterboard and skim over it. If your rooms are smallish use insulated plasterboard (about 62.5mm thick: 50mm PIR insulation + 12.5mm plasterboard) on all external walls. Also double loft insulation thickness if possible and insulate floors whenever you have floor boards up.

[@deanbarnett8538]

First of all empty houses and derelict areas should be revitalised within the many cities and towns. We should maintain and expand the UK's farming industry. Then more houses could surely be built on various greenfield sites. But we should work on the inner city areas first by building on closed industrial areas, opening residential property above shops and building on empty inner city scrub land ( there's a lot of these areas around) Otherwise, too many areas are designated as greenfields sites, but arn't necessary to remain as such. We have too many golf courses now and it's prime land to build houses on.

[@patriciafennell7079]

Why on earth has the “right to buy” not been abolished as is the case in Scotland and Wales.

[@PokerPlayerJames]

Building more houses is not the solution. For every 1 property on the market, property companies have 9 left empty that are not on the market. They do those to drive the prices up of each house. If they just wait they can sell each house for lots more and there's no reason not to wait because people will always want houses. Many of the houses being sold are also being bought by investment firms and other private companies looking for a safe investment, not by citizens looking for a place to call their own. They will either rent it out or just leave it empty for years and let the price go up. What is needed is a law that requires property developers to have at least 70% of their properties on the market to drive down the price as publicly available supply will increase and demand will stay the same. Before that though, we need a law that prevents limited companies from purchasing domestic properties unless they are a property company. If you want to build more houses after that, fair enough.

How to fix the economy 101.... Increase Exports > more money in the economy. Boost this by tax relief for manufacturers in the UK that export goods. Grants etc. Now that we have more money to fund the NHS property and end the strikes. Bring back the essential services into public control. Gas (Brittish gas owned by the tax payer). Electric (Brittish power/Scottish Power etc). Bring back 0% deposit mortgages legislation to ensure every bank building society etc offers a variety of low interest mortgages eg capped at 5%. Legislation to tax profits properly in banks etc and ensure interest paid out is fair to the saver not borrow at 20% and receive 0.01% etc. Now again more money generated through all of these services gas, electric, interest rates the people will have better public transport, better funded NHS and more money in their pocket. This additional income can be invested in updating the school system, and including reducing student costs for higher learning eg University. So now we have a population that has more money, is better educated has a better infrastructure and better health care. All funded through public services instead of private profits. Now here is the essential point to maintain it all moving forward. Make it legislation for all businesses that annually contract of employment must include a clause that pay will rise with inflation every April at a minimum. This means that employees will never be earning less than they were the previous year and will avoid a future cost of living crisis. Any additional profits remaining for the increase in the money in the circular flow after funding the NHS, after funding schools and public services properly. After all of that the remaining additional profits should be invested in cleaner energy such as solar, wind and wave and accelerate the transition to carbon net zero. Can you imagine what a place like this would be? A place we would be proud to live. PS > Immagration Secure borders no one gets in that we don't want in (Security) allow those in through the proper channels who benefit the economy skilled labour doctors, nurses, scientists etc or have a proven bank balance to ensure they can be self sufficient and not a drain on the economy. Allow asylum seekers in on a temp basis yes support them with food housing and health care while there is conflict and then allow them to return to there home nation when safe to do so. Foreign aid should be reduced. We shouldn't send a penny abroad until we have housed and fed all of the homeless people we have in our streets. Support from a position of strength not weakness. While we are cripped with national debt we are sending tax payers money abroad? If done correctly we could clear the debt and then send them more in the future.... reduce not stop. Benefits > scrap the system and start again. It's a joke. Excluding asylum seekers no benefits for anyone entering the UK (Non citizens) for a period of time eg 36months. Scrap all of the current benefits systems > Child tax credits ( don't have kids if you can't afford them). > Housing (excluding physical or mental disability, sick or old, homeless) we shouldn't be paying for people's homes. Cavite of the above is the benefit centres... you don't get benefits eg job seekers you get a job or a college placement. With all of the above now under public control eg gas, electric, NHS, essential services everyone without a job should be given a position in one of these to earn an income until they can find a job in the private sector. This could be building affordable housing, cleaning the streets, bin Ben, roadworks, etc etc etc. A position in the military or a placement for further education to gain skills needed to join the private sector think engineering, medical, catering etc . This would solve the issue of not enough nurses or not enough teachers etc as we can prioritise the services needed for placements. Bursary > while in this higher education or government job placement scheme people should be given the national minimum wage. Minimum wage ( needs to be increased to a level where someone can afford to live) not luxury but live. Rent, food, transport and essential services for yourself and any dependants. Eg the national livingwage and minimum wage should be the same. Above the breadline but without luxury. Childcare > fix with free nursery from one years of age. Maternity/Paternity leave 1 year for both parents. Then free education kicks in. Again this is all self funded. Any additional resources left from the reduction in benefits can be hammered onto the national debt to get back this huge outgoing and claim back more of the taxpayers money to further fund the above and to then increase Foreign aid once cleared.

I agree with a lot of that However The NHS is out biggest budget Every time there is increase in budget big pharma doubles it’s prices Also too many private companies are already into the NHS It systems are archaic

[@barbarajones9385]

Hassan, Starmer is not in power. The Tories have been in power for over a decade, have royally screwed the country, lined their own pockets and those of their mates, wrecked the NHS, underbuilt housing, have not solved the immigration issues, come up with the Rwanda Solution, have not addressed infrastructure, left people heating or eating, have not addressed the environment or the climate, left education in a shambles... Honours, titles for family and friends, Partygate, Covid money to mates, Hancock, Cummings... what short memories people have. May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak... And people are taking potshots at Starmer!
