Reply to the comment left by Mike D at 05/02/2018 - 15:18Excellent response by Dr. Ros, as usual, and I completely agree with your points, Mike D, regarding lazy journalism based on opinion, wooing popular (populist) thinking. Fake news! As...

Reply to the comment left by Chris Unwin at 19/08/2017 - 07:52It doesn't solve or improve the housing crisis though. And it has the greatest negative affect on the poorer members of society - those who can't afford to buy.

I will be interested to hear what UKIP say, as they had a very attractive 40% income tax pledge in the last election which really tempted me (something like raising the threshold to £50K). If this was pledged again, this...

Reply to the comment left by "Gary Dully" at "23/04/2017 - 03:18": Gary, do you have details of what UKIP will do to support LLs?

I can't believe that people here believe that Labour or Lib Dem would care more about LLs?? If Labour / Lid Dem got in, and you think Tories have been bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. Rent caps, right to...

Reply to the comment left by "Laura Delow" at "10/04/2017 - 11:49": Which is why we should be concentrating on the effect S24 is going to have on tenants, not LLs.

What I tried to do during my meeting with my MP was to concentrate on the effect this was going to have on tenants and the welfare sector. I think this is going to be absolutely catastrophic. Yes, I started...

Well, unfortunately, there has to be a harsh and immediate change at some point, or there will be no change, and the Tories, who will be in power for a long time, will continue to try to balance the books...

Reply to the comment left by "Michael Holmes" at "23/03/2017 - 19:16": Well, I think castration is a bit extreme, unless you mean castrate the absent fathers? If so, I'm all for it. But I do agree that what is...

Reply to the comment left by "Michael Barnes" at "18/03/2017 - 17:24": Yes, you're right, it's no good taking no action; but since GR are commissioning the survey, I think the respondents are going to moan, so any positive responses...

The results of the survey will definitely be used to attack LLs. I'm not helping them with it.

I really want him to lose his seat. He absolutely is taking the complete p**s as you put it Barry. Regarding his role at Blackrock - 650K for FOUR days: what on earth are Blackrock paying him for? It stinks....

Reply to the comment left by "Appalled Landlord" at "09/03/2017 - 13:07": The media is still concentrating on vilifying LLs. I caught some of the Radio 1 lunchtime news where they had a LL speaking in turn with a tenant....

Reply to the comment left by "Lee Humby" at "09/03/2017 - 11:11": It's just so uninformed. Wait until they see how many LLs will no longer take these benefit tenants once S24 kills their business and the caps to UC...

Radio 1 Newsbeat wanting to talk to LLs if anyone wants to volunteer. This is in connection with a study they are reporting on which found LLs prefer pet owners over benefit tenants. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-39102860

Did anyone else hear the tenant on R4 You and Yours today? The other LL, a widowed LL also presented a really good story. I expected to see it spoken about here! It was a paradigm shift for radio 4...

Reply to the comment left by "H B" at "11/02/2017 - 10:01": The point is to show that homelessness is increasing and so are demands on the council to deal with that. The reactions to S24 by LLs are going...
