Ha! I could show you a whole street of council house properties that do not have thumb locks on the entry doors, a basic safety compliance, it`s been law for years. Holier-than-thou nonsense from Boy Burnham.

This research does not suit the MSM, Generation Rent, Shelter, left wingers etc.

Gen Rent alienate landlords at every opportunity. Indirectly and unknowingly because they fail to join the logic dots..Gen Rent are reducing rental property availability. Pretty short sighted, why not talk to & work with landlords to improve things for all?

Displacing landlords in the same vein as the indigenous population is being displaced..

“fair and sustainable” Government has no idea & cannot backup their assertion. An arbitrary figure plucked by some clueless civil servant thinking..`..just over a £1 per week..landlords can afford that..`

Silly stat story. The average figures for the nation are weak stats. to quote. Local figures are what local landlords view..obviously. The price & rental figures for Bristol have little bearing on Newcastle.

Ha! laughable, the police have always had enough power to deal with these problems, for decades. The police won`t turn up unless sufficient people complain, that`s how they prioritise their work. The police decide what crimes they will tackle, not...

power-hungry, megalomaniacal, tyrannical, dictatorial, and authoritarian.. that`s most days of the week.

Excellent outcome, well done Mr Alexander and everybody involved for your tenacity..born out of deep conviction of being right. Civil servants do not like admitting failure or questioning of their methods, they`re sometimes intoxicated on their power, sometimes misused &...

Reply to the comment left by Simon Kinzley at 31/07/2026 - 10:46Simon, much as I`d wish for it, I dont` think there is a party (Reform) that has the heft currently to take power, insufficient MP`s with real skill &...

It will be made very clear to Pennycook in 2029 that he`s out of a job he`s done poorly.

`This encourages self-reliance and eases the transition back into work.` This is the same nonsense LA`s came out with 15 years ago..`..you must treat HB claimants as if they`re in work..` Did`nt work then won`t work now, claimants, generally, do...

`private finance options`... Many schools & hospitals were constructed during Gordon Broon`s time as PM using PF, those debts are astronomic, almost unpayable in a lifetime. Broon used the method to saddle the nation with debt & look good politically....

Sackham also said in the last week..`The backlog of criminal court cases could take “nearly 300 years” to bring back to levels seen before the COVID pandemic without reforms to cut jury trials, a justice minister has said.` EPC infringements,...

Obfuscation.. the first `skill` of civil servants. Why use three words when ten would keep them in a job?

These MP`s & civil servants demonstrate, yet again, their disconnection from reality. There are too few technicians and materials to get anywhere near full coverage of this work. The politicians are grandstanding to appeal to renters & alienate landlords, it`s...

Err..check local authority properties first, LA`s break housing rules, proportionally, far more than the PRS. Burnham does not know anything about the PRS, he`s a bandwagon jumping opportunist.

The CP of the UK, CPUK, is well on its way to total control of all facets of British life. Everything that we took as normal behaviour or freedom is now threatened & actioned by the police, judiciary & the...

This communist soon-to-be-gone government are utterly incompetent at actually running the country in any way useful. They just target their enemies abusing their huge power, they are corrupt to the core & have wrecked everything they`ve touched, a disaster for...

EPC`s are known to be wildly inaccurate. Fitting a couple of low energy bulbs can alter a rating from D to C, that`s so arbitrary as to degrade the value of the energy check. As with many govt. initiatives they...
