Why not extend the right to buy to the private rented sector?
(And why building more council housing will save us more)
Speaking to @matthew-wright.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk this morning about the housing crisis and right to buy
Will be on @lbc.co.uk at around 08:05am speaking to @matthew-wright.bsky.social about council housing
Tune in if you can ...
On @lbc.co.uk last night discussing prisons policy and early releases.
The problem is we jail too many people.

This is clearly a good result for Labour, but it also doesn't strike me as a terrible result for the Greens. Vote share held up from the local elections in a constituency that was never really a target for them
What's the odd £500bn between a media love-in for an underperforming Tory leader? It's only about twice what we spend on the NHS every year. The nation's finances are clearly safe in these people's hands!

Good point! Certainly at a lower rate if not exempt from a higher duty. Longer-term you'd want to rebalance so that four of five busiest UK airports weren't all London airports.
100% agree - we ought to tax short-haul domestic flights* significantly and ringfence revenue to lower rail fares. *N.Ireland / Scottish Islands excepted Would also free up capacity at airports without needing to build new runways

Tax second homes at #Budget2026
Hats off to the Eye (as ever), for flagging the Conservative hypocrisy over our conference ban
Tories on Tuesday: "we'll spend £10bn on a missile system we don't understand". Tories on Wednesday "we'll cut taxes!" These are not serious people.
This is why we need to increase taxes on second homes
"A Reform UK MP bought an £800,000 second home on a picturesque Welsh island two days after raising concerns in parliament about the impact of second homes on rural communities"
