These may not survive longer than a few weeks but #Labour is signalling three interesting policies on the #Housingcrisis:

radical reducing discounts (& thus the incentive to 'flip') right-to-buy homes & lengthening qualifying residency;

Easing restrictions of land-use (especially #greenbelt lands of 'low value' environmentally);

Changing compulsory purchase regulations to allow Councils to buy unused development land at steeper discounts.

Lots to discuss but moving in the right direction?
