It is messed up. With so many people having an investment in property it's controversial to mess with it. I'm hoping Labour will be bold.
I'm lucky to be mortgage free.

Fortunately there are many people who are also mortgage free so it really doesn't matter if the housing market crumbles.
It's collapse is long overdue and has been artificially propped up for way to many years.
I used to study the housing market quite a bit but the constant Tory government interference in the market made it impossible to correctly gauge.
Labour needs to build millions of houses and fast. Not the paltry 1.5 million suggested.
That would bring the markets back into equilibrium. Some people will lose equity in their properties but it's for the greater good.
At the moment virtually no one can afford a home and that is not only scandalous it's against basic human rights.
Do we have the building industry that can and will build that many homes? We need those council houses back.
We have to wait and see. After and before Brexit many European workers left the UK as they feared the government would fling them out.
