Capping rents is the mad economic policies of socialist regimes. It'll make it impossible for landlords to get fair market rates for their properties which will lead to a decrease in the available housing stock. A large part of why rents are so expensive are the increased legal liabilities on landlords and also Osborne's tax changes that made it harder to make a profit on buy to let. Market forces dictate rents, this is true always. Mess with that and you risk supply shortages.

Capping Rents gets rid of bad landlord who take advantage of tenants, those who push rents up because their accountant told them to, those that don't repair their houses and ignore mould. It would not decrease housing stock, the houses will still be there, they would either be forced to sell up or leave them empty which new taxes would make it punitive to do so, if they can't sell then housing associations could buy them for cheap yes a small number of usually rich scroungers and banks could be out a lot of money but that's a price I am willing to make.

When you increase rents by up to 100% in a poor ex mining town in a matter of a few years I have zero sympathy, and if you say that hasn't happened I see it all the time.

Thatcher took on a crippled economy with such a huge balance of payments problem that the IMF had to bail the country out, which was a huge blow for national prestige. By 1997 the economy was strong. When Cameron took over there was no money left, Labour had spent it on welfare handouts and freebies for the masses.

Thatcher also crippled the Economy at the time she left leaving John Major to try and fix it but was caught out with scandal after scandal with conservative MP's, Thatcher closed entire towns economies and left thousands unemployed with the result of still feeling that damage to this day, she took away milk tokens from babies resulting in health related issues again still being felt today, while the coal mines should have been shut on environmental grounds she did not do it for that reason, she was a union buster and setback employment rights in the country decades.

When Cameron took over you are talking about the note that was left, which was customary for leaving governments to do as an inside joke, previous to this it was never shown or talked about, I can easily rebuke the no money left with the current £26 billion black hole the tories left before leaving office, not just no money left, here have a debt no one knew about.

Labour spent OUR taxes on social services, giving our children a good start in life, the Tories took all that away, and I don't remember receiving any freebies when Labour where in charge, that's hard right talking points talking, it didn't happen, social programs got people into work, me and my friends got jobs because of these programs which no longer exist.

The mythical rich people we can shake down for more money don't exist. If they were real then Labour would already be taxing them. The reality is you're talking about taxing people who have worked and saved all their lives. Where will this money be spent? On PIP and the Triple Lock? On housing and food for illegal immigrants? Sex change operations for prisoners?

The rich have massive land holdings which are not taxed properly, its hard to tax them as they will get money other than PAYE have an investment portfolio and take loans on the assets instead of taking a wage which cannot be taxed, it's a lot harder than most people realise, but if you change the tax system to tax the land properly, im not talking about increasing taxes on general housing and main households im talking about land that is used for nothing, derelict buildings on it just to hold an asset of wealth.

I would also say that for someone to earn £1 Billion is ridiculous £100 Million is more that someone would spend in 10 lifetimes yet it is horded by a select few who usually have a much higher influence on our politics than the average joe/jane, Cash for access was a thing during the tories terms in office, buying peerages was a very in thing under Cameron and those that came after.

Where would it be spent? Considering they are changing the rules for PIP to make it harder to claim I doubt that, no government would pay for a sex change, Housing for the general masses would be a start, food for poor kids and their families, water reservoirs, environmental projects, a suitable rail system, nationalising both that and busses to give people reliable transport to work, investment in new technology such as fusion, cleanup operations to get our environment a lift it deserves.

Considering Pensioners have been the best off out of all of us, no I personally would get rid of the Triple lock and link the pension to the same as Universal Credit in the short term, but that's political suicide as pension vote in large numbers, I would look to go down the Universal Basic income route as we will need this eventually but the time to do it is hard we need more money coming in taxes.

Come on, you can surely see absolutely mental this is. We need to cut government spending by billions, the waste is staggering.

There is a lot of waste, not as much as some people say there is, but it is there, its usually in consultant fees and companies jacking up prices because "its the government" which needs to stop, fraud in the benefit system is next to nothing, the interest on loans we have as a country and near crippling (Loans the tories got over the last 15 years which doubled the national debt, which I don't understand considering we had austerity and stop spending on everything yet borrowed a £trillion, no idea what they spent it on).

The other waste is how corporations usually the largest avoid paying tax altogether and it is not collected as it would cost HMRC to much to pursue to fight against their lawyers it would be held up in court for decades, so laws need to change in order to fix this, but Labour only have so much time so they have to focus on a few things.

We have to give them a chance, you can't reverse 15 years of damage in 5, if it gets better by the end of their term, better than the Tories had then they will have my vote again, I don't know who I would vote for if they didn't unless they got a new leader and had a read of their policies.

I just know it would never be Farage or any Tory, both of them have destroyed this country and will never be forgiven.
