Tony Blair and new labour took power in 1997 , and Blair stepped dowon n having only met his own annual target of 200 000 uk wide houses in 2 of the 10 years he was in power. When brown took over , house building dropped off a cliff. So what are you talking about? Their record on housing whether social or uk wide total housebuilding remains a disgrace. Did you read this 224,680 homes were built in the UK across all sectors - the highest figure since 1981. It was also the first year for at least two decades in which the number of social homes built outstripped those lost through right to buy.and let's not forget the Social. Housing Regeration programme what improved the standard of occupied houses and regenerated unoccupied houses so they Could be lived in again. I repeat what I said for you lefty. Thatcher built more social housing than Blairs labour .Fact. Blairs labour missed his housebuilding targets every single year he was in power , with the exception of two , one of which you mention above. Fact. Labour built 358 council houses in Scotland in two terms of devolved governance. The snp devolved government built nearly ten thousand in comparable terms . Fact. That isn't a typo. 358 houses. Labours record on housebuilding is fucking shambolic. |

Labours record on housebuilding is fucking shambolic. So Much for the 10'000 houses the SNP built who's in Them? Homelessness in Scotland Too many people in Scotland are becoming homeless because of the housing emergency. Every 16 minutes a household becomes homeless in Scotland. Homeless applications In the year 2022/23 there were 39,006 homeless applications made to local authorities, of these 32,240 households were assessed as being homeless or threatened with homelessness. The number of households that became homeless this year rose by 10% compared to the year before. The latest government statistics show that on 31 March 2023 there were 15,039 households living in temporary accommodation. The number of households in temporary accommodation in Scotland has risen sharply over the last few years and is now 46% higher than on 31 March 2014. 2014 was when Homelessness was last at its peak There are also increasing numbers of children stuck in temporary accommodation. The latest statistics show that on 31 March 2023 there were 9,595 children in Scotland living in temporary accommodation. This is the highest number on record, showing that the housing emergency is only getting worse. Once again don't know how you can put this on Labour door Like I said before I'm all for Scotland getting independent but you Scottish Nats Are making a sobey job of ruling SCOTLAND. |

Like labour run Wales , of course scotland has issues , along with much of the western world. We are discussing the last labour governments record on housebuilding both at Westminster and Holyrood , and its clear when even labour politicians are criticising it as a shameful record , then I can see why you want to diverge onto talking about other issues constantly. |

Never mind talking about the past let's talk about here and know Scotland homeless Children are at a Record high . How can you keep on asking on what labour did over a Decade ago. When you Scottish Nats are Making a pigs ear out of Ruling Scotland. You go on about Welsh Labour when they are poorest Nation in the UK. Don't don't Really have an Industry and they have the oldest population in the UK. But Scotland has the North Sea oil Revenue and get a bigger payment from Westminster Scotland Gets 8% And Wales gets 4% of revenue. But despite that you have a Worse Martaity Rate the worst in Western Europe. Shocking high death rate due to Drug Abuse worst in Europe. And worst Drugs Abusers in Europe. Plus ever increasing Homeless amongst Children. Worst on Scottish Record. And while we're at it Can't find anywhere about Glasgow Council Going Bankrupt under New Labour can you point it out to me please? |

Never mind talking about the past let's talk there we go. That right there. Just about sums up labours attitude as ive always said. You rely on voters having selective amnesia , and stupidity , with a sprinkling of tribalism ,(my dad voted labour so , so will I ) to sneak into power. When we scratch the surface , and hold labour accountable for their past inglorious record , all we ever hear is let's not talk about the past. LMFAO. |

Certainly shouldn't talk about the past when the present Government are making a worse mess of Governing. It defeats the point . Any way can you provide me with evidence of your Claim that New Labour made Glasgow Council Bankrupt? |

I have no words
Hamza Tosspot should go out and fucking hang himself
Not hang his head in shame FUCKING HANG HIMSELF FROM A LAMP POST
The man featured in this BBC News item is white, 37, has no visble facial tattoos, has a job working fifty hours a week in a fish and chip shop and has nowhere to call home
Now I'm sorry but when I was a schoolkid it was a fucking given that anyone, no matter how meagre their take home pay from a full time job, could expect to have somewhere found for them to live. The feckless idle, the drug wasters, a whole load of others could go whistle but if you were holding down a bloody job then you deserved fucking respect and rightly so, and a council place no matter how humble was part of the deal.
Well Hamza and his fucking SNP are well fucked on this score arent they
I don't care of he's frying fucking mars bars it is not unbelieveable that a bloke who OWNS a fish and chip shop would not as a matter of routine over seven days put in a fifty hour week and it stands to reason in my thinking that an employee at such an establishment that opens for lunchtime as well as evening and night time take away could easily put in fifty hours over the course of a week, and i don't know what that is in wonga but it bloody well ought to be enough to be aboe to afford somewhere.
The council says because he is not unemployed and becaue he os not a smackhead there is fuck all they can do for him
noticed how you are screaming about the snp and homelessness in Scotland John , but in your own article , for balance , its says this... meanwhile John how's it going in Wales?
Wales hits new homelessness high - so what is being done about it?.
www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/23789565.wales-hits-new-homelessness-high---done/ so why aren't you saying the same to rishi the tory in engerlund , and drake ford the taffy in your own backyard? another day , another snp bad story. next................? Instead of getting all defensive and playing the deflection game, why not just admit the article in the OP is a travesty where this fellow Scot of yours is a concern? |

Are you saying we should hold the snp and tory governments , but not the labour government to account? That is a surprise. Dani Garavelli: Remember who caused mess as Glasgow women strike ...Labour
It was the decision in 2006 by the then Labour administration to implement a discriminatory pay and grades structure, and the decision of later ones to oppose the women’s consequent pay claims, that created this shambles.
At the same time, I can’t help feeling a degree of sympathy towards the SNP councillors now under attack from the very same unions and politicians whose refusal to recognise the value of women’s work led to the accruing of a £500 million-plus debt. archive.is/SAhoC Glasgow council had to sell then lease back historic buildings in a bid to settle the equal pay claims and costs left to them by labour , otherwise the city council would have went bankrupt. www.lgim.com/uk/en/real-assets/insights/case-studies/glasgow-city-council/ |

Sad little nationalist. So defensive about some poor Scottish bloke in an article. You can't even bring yourself to discuss this poor man because he's Scottish. As usual, you took the OP as an attack on Scottish-ness, and get all defensive about that rather than the actual topic. You can't even bring yourself to discuss the plight of the poor bloke with English and Welsh people. How sad does that make you? |

It's entering into a vicious circle where the more people like this guy, the more the need for carers and nurses and we as a nation have to pay so much for that part of the budget and it forever needs more money.
There should be a political name for this vicious cycle. A community has a small number of people who (apparently) 'can't look after themselves', so it makes provision for these people at the expense of everyone else. The extra costs mean now there is a new group of people who were previously able to look after themselves, who now can't. The community now makes provision for this new group. The extra costs mean now there is a new group of people who were...(n) The end of the road is total collapse Additionally, interventions like housing benefit raise rents - ie they increase the costs they are designed to mitigate. |
