@AngelaRayner We need to open up the rental sector and not make it the poor cousin to home ownership. It is common in Europe and has no 2nd class stigma attached. The so called property ladder leads to speculation and inflation. A home is somewhere to live, not an investment commodity.

@tconnellyRTE@EmmanuelMacron@trussliz On est toujours amis mon brave! It takes more than an ignoramus led government populated by what Mao used to call: 'The running dogs of capitalism' to break the chains that bind us to Europe and France in particular.
