I’d appreciate your thoughts because it seems to me that the only realistic hope for landlords teaching the two major political Parties a lesson is to vote Reform in the hope of a Labour / Reform coalition. Surely that would put the cat among the pigeons!
Reform appears to me to be the only UK political party happy to fight for landlords and lower rates of tax.
Am I missing something?
I found this on their website …
The UK population has grown by over 1.3 million in just 2 years. Yet only 425,000 homes have been built. The Office of National Statistics forecast the population to grow by nearly 7 million between 2021 and 2036, putting huge pressure on housing.
Mass immigration is the main factor in this. Other factors that have damaged housing supply are overly bureaucratic planning regulations that delay decisions and add huge cost.
Review the Planning System.
Fast track planning and tax incentives for development of brownfield sites, including unused offices and vacant high street properties. Review system of Section 106 Developer Contributions for infrastructure such as schools and surgeries to accelerate house building.
Reform Social Housing Law.
Prioritise local people and those who have paid into the system. In parts of the UK almost half of all social housing is occupied by someone born overseas. Foreign nationals must go to the back of the queue. Not the front.
Scrap the 2019 Tax Changes for Landlords.
The tax system should encourage smaller landlords into the rental markets. Not penalise them.
Abolish the Renters’ (Reform) Bill.
Existing legislation was adequate to address bad practices. Instead, we will boost the monitoring, appeals and enforcement process.
Incentivise Use of New Construction Technology.
Such as modular construction, and smart infrastructure.
More Homegrown Qualified Traders.
New apprenticeships and vocational courses will increase the supply of skilled, well-paid workers to replace cheap overseas labour.
Every day, landlords who want to influence policy and share real-world experience add their voice here. Your perspective helps keep the debate balanced.

The Reform Party of Canada didn’t do too badly.
At least Farage knows his own mind, is in tune with the opinions of the electorate and sounds like a leader when he speaks.
Don’t underestimate Farage and the amount of support he has. Everyone is wholly fed up with the Conservatives and terrified of Labour.

Best thig is he wants to change the model of the black hole known as the NHS to include private insurance, otherwise by 2030 9 out of 10 of us will be working for the NHS and they will still complain it hasn’t got enough money.

If anyone heard the 7 partyies debate last week, it seems to me all other party leaders just gave out empty hot air, apart from Farage, who supported his point of view with real statistics, interestingly, other party leaders did not rejecte his statistics, presumably, they either didn’t know or agrees with Farage’s statistics.

And at the end of the debate he was the only one who did his 30 second summary without an autocue. He’s the only one who knows what he’s saying without checking!

There’s a awful lot of space behind Labour’s front row. In fact, there’s a worrying amount of space in the front row.

I am leaning towards Reform but I cannot vote for Farage as a principle!

Think of it more as a protest vote against the main parties in favour of Reforms landlord friendly policies, as opposed to for Farage.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I would really like to understand what it is that so many really dislike about Farage.
