Tories are still lying *******s

[Just_Jimmy]

He's broken the law and he's overseen corruption and the destruction of the British economy and yet 211 still think he's the man for the job...

Astounding.

Will survive until the end of the year now. Inflation should peak in autumn and second gas hike. New person in when its getting better

[weecounty hibby]

Dougie Ross🤔 wonder what he'll do now? Johnson will limp on and continue to cause havoc with his band of sycophantic fascists like Patel and Dorries in tow

[SteveHFC]

Zahawi is a disgrace.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

He is marking time now.

[Glory Lurker]

Will he have a leaving party?

[SHODAN]

I think he'll call a general election and deselect all the rebels.

Don't think he cares if he loses to Starmer or one of his own MPs, just that it doesn't happen.

The Johnson loyalists lining up on Sky are just taking the mick out of the electorate. Shameful.

Par for the course with this government, they've continually taken the electorate for a ride, but there are some out there in the electorate who still think he's doing a good job

[Stairway 2 7]

He's going to try some desperate stuff to cling on. Apparently on Thursday he'll announce housing association tenants will have the right to buy. Will win votes in that group but make the future worse

Nobody thinks he'll resign but I wonder if 2 absolute wipe outs in the upcoming by elections might tip him over the edge.

That policy will be a disaster and very difficult to implement and cost a fortune. Housing Associations are private sector organizations and I never thought I’d see a Tory government take from the private sector and redistribute to the people!

Giving an interview now, more blustering pish with that ridiculous grin on his puss.

It will be bad, just as selling council houses was. Hopefully the Scottish position is sufficiently devolved that it won't apply up here.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Cutting comments from Sir Roger Gale on the BBC. Essentially, the government will get on with things but he won't see out the year. Ouch...

Who owns housing associations?

Two big by-elections coming up, one a rock solid Tory seat in Devon. If they lose another stronghold seat, the pressure on Johnson will further intensify. All Tory MPs will be looking at their majority and wondering what could happen.

They are private companies. Their housing is built using government grant but mainly private finance. All of that would have to be unpicked by government if they imposed right to buy. Also this would bring housing associations into the public sector and so all their debt would become public (around 15bn). The government ran a pilot in the west midlands a couple of years ago but there was little take up and proved hugely expensive. That is the reason why even Cameron and Osborne didn’t do it. Also as private organizations, there would be huge legal issues as in essence, their property is being taken off them.

Boris to be replaced in 2022, seems a good bet on skybet at 11/8

Thought they were regulated by the Gov? It might have changed and I've not picked up on it though.

Yes they are regulated by the Social Housing Regulator so they have to abide by many standards but they are private organizations that are become Registered Providers of Social Housing. They use private finance as well as government grant to build homes for rent and sale. These homes are often used as security for further finance. You can begin to see the real difficulties a right to buy policy will cause. And this at a time when we need more housing for social rent. The impact on rural and high value areas for those on low incomes needing a home will be huge

A mate bought 50% of his house from housing association up here. I guess that's different because it was through them? Also maybe at market price, although I'm not sure

There's always two sides. There will be HA tenants who will save money through a discounted sale with a more affordable mortgage. If I was in that boat I'd be delighted to finally have a bit more money each month. There's nothing wrong from benefitting from a policy even if you strongly oppose the political party who has implemented the policy imo. Agree with your point about the failure to replace the ex stock with more social newbuild.

That's shared ownership. The H.A. retains 50% and a monthly occupancy fee. The part owner is 100% liable for the property, no assistance from the HA if there are any problems with the property.

Think he can buy 100 eventually. I don't mind people getting help to get on property ladder but as long as that money goes to more Social housing. Really hard times for young people looking for rent or a mortgage
