Everyone should have an affordable place to call home, but in many communities with high rents, a shocking number of landlords are hoarding property.

The government are reportedly planning on moving some asylum seekers from hotels to military bases...
How about, rather than shipping a few hundred people off to military sites, we let asylum seekers work and contribute to our society and fix our broken asylum system? 🤔

Pochin's comments were just "poorly phrased"?
To be upset at the sight of black and brown people on TV in 2025 is - obviously - racist.
It's the same reaction as Jenrick in Handsworth, or the constant attack on immigrants across the political spectrum.

Rachel Reeves is reportedly considering raising income tax next month.
Of course Labour are planning on going after working people while conveniently ignoring the super-rich who are hoarding this country's wealth.
The Green Party is clear - time to tax wealth, not work.

In the next weeks, the UK gov will decide to reject or approve this disaster project.
