The last 14 years of Tory government has been particularly disastrous when it comes to Social Housing, affordable homes to rent, with huge cuts to both funding and the numbers of homes built, the Tories have literally created a problem, just as they created the Prisons Problem. Compared to who? In 2010, funding for affordable housing was cut by 63%, including all funding for social rented homes. This led to an 81% fall in the delivery of new social housing. Hope that answers your question |

Just like India's Billionaires can throw £250 million weddings, while the other half starves, but not to worry the UK will send them plenty of aid. Flaunting that sort of wealth is obscene in a country that we send so much financial aid to. If Blair had any self awareness he would be embarrassed, but of course, he hasn't. Its 27 years since Blair left office. You are not capable of determining Blair's self awareness, all you are capable of is denigrating Blair and Labour, making you at least hard-right politically minded. |

There seems to be an awful lot of Rightist 'Project fear' taking place on this thread. Nothing unusual there of course.

Huh? 17 years and whilst in office he was constantly moralising as regards what we should be doing internationally. |

The nonsense of new housing is this. I grew up in Cambridge and would have loved to have moved back, but i could not afford it, im in Ely, and ive had a good career, dabbled in property, paid off four mortgages, been good with money. The city council, and anglia in general are building new towns etc at a fast rate.
The council have even said that new houses need to be affordable, and in cambridge, that is mad, the cost of owning a house is crazy.
And so it will be across the country.

It is indeed 27 years since Blair was kicked out of office, and incredibly he is still around advising Labour and Starmer. And for the record, I consider myself to be a centre right Conservative which means, as far as you're concerned, I'm a fascist who should be cancelled, lol.  |

So why start with an untruth? There is no one, in any party, better suited to advise Starmer. You appear to basically be a bit moderate in your ways, except when it comes to politics, then your fixed opinions get in the way. Being a bit of a moderate in a give and take world, is good. But you describe Thatcher as centre-right which makes you a political ignoramus. She was minimum Hard-Right, who did enormous damage both socially and economically. And you are apparently unaware of it, even though I have given you a number of pointers in the past, which you have chosen to ignore. |

Nobody that sanctioned the admittance of tens of thousands Vietnamese boat-people, or who oversaw the 1986 Public Order Act, or the Football (Offences) Act of 1991, or the Race Relations (Remedies) Act can legitimately be denounced as 'minimum hard right'.

This ^^ from more than 13 years ago, a rather different world. The comment under the picture is just a nasty insinuation hiding behind a question mark. The claim that Blair opened the door to mass uncontrolled immigration is an outright lie, one that does a Farage move, ignoring the fact that the main problem from immigration is the huge increase in asylum seekers, which is almost certainly increased by people who are really economic migrants posing as asylum seekers. But it is the Mail, so what else can one expect. |

Wrong ^^ Except by those who are aware of the social and economic damage actually done by her to this country and to millions of its people. So you need to do a little research. The "stocking footed Fascist" remains hard-right. |

Hope that answers your question But the delivery of new social housing rose after 2010 - the worst years since WW2 for the delivery of social housing was under the Previous Labour administration. |

Are you including 'affordable housing' which was preferred by New Labour? |

And you are apparently unaware of it, even though I have given you a number of pointers in the past, which you seems you have chosen to ignore. Blair was forced to resign because of pressure from within the Labour party and low approval ratings. In other words, he was kicked out of office. Yet nearly 30 years later he's still hanging around the periphery of politics and incredibly, now advising the new Labour prime minister lol, you couldn't make it up. Mrs R would be most amused with you calling me a moderate. I speak plain common sense which lefties find oh so offensive, as I always tell them, offense is taken not given. As for Thatcher, could a prime minister who won three elections really have been so bad? In historical rankings, MP's rate Thatcher higher than Blair, academics rate Thatcher higher than Blair, journalists rate Thatcher higher than Blair, and the public rate Thatcher higher than Blair - link
When it comes to Thatcher v Blair, it's clear who the winner is. |
