Renton 17924 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Seems to be an outlier that poll. I've seen lots saying the opposite. Never trust the results of a single poll, look at all of them and more importantly look at the trends rather than the absolute numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to budget about £1500 per square meter when building social housing, and that was at the top end. Most of the jobs we are getting prices back for now are more like £3000 per square meter. Means we have to go back to homes England for more money as the viability doesn’t stack up financially, when you look at the rents we would charge for them once complete. Homes England have no extra money, so we either build less for the same money, change the way we assess viability which is a bit of bodge or charge higher rents which is getting into the realms of not really social housing rents. Loads of established contractors have gone bump due to cash flow issues and social housing providers are having to cut budgets left right and centre, all at a time where we are being told to build more and to meet new green standards for energy use. It’s going to get really messy. The right to buy has fucked up social housing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skirting boards and seals around the house look like they were done by a blind man. I shudder to think how much effort goes into houses that aren't built to turn a profit... All the major house builders sell units. They don't sell houses. They sell uninhabitable units that in two decades will need to be retrofitted as they'll not meet standards. They're fucking awful.

Monkeys Fist 38982 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Rail strike: Agency staff could cover future disruption https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61773437 Can we extend this to cover Tory MPs? Whenever one of them has be removed for being a rapist or paedophile or whatever, just get an agency MP in- much cheaper, can’t possibly be any worse, and it’d demonstrate that they absolutely practice what they preach/force on the rest of us.

Craig 6321 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 One of my mates thinks their defiant approach is purely and simply to deflect attention away from the party gate / vote of confidence episode. It's even more shameful if they are. Utter, utter arseholes. Politicians across the ages have always commanded a degree of contempt, but this cunt's cabinet is on a whole new level.

This is kind of old news really - the IMF taking political control of Greece, ousting a democratically elected government due to "national Debt" was very alarming - especially when put against the figures that are "normal" in the UK now, post covid - as a percentage of GDP. The whole pretending the bank was funding the government with QE , isn't that much different to the IMF taking control of a country which refused to QE to "help the global economy" / pay back its debts (that as the above twitter rant shows, is as real as a baseless currency) Edited June 14, 2022 by scoobos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the aim is two fold - continuing the "lefty lawyer" narrative and a simple boost to their racist voters - the policy is now backed by more people than opposed according to polls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
