    Nope. Cheap social housing for the scroungers -> more tax on the workers to pay for it all, except a higher minimum wage -> higher interest rates to control inflation -> houses less affordable to the worker.

    If you want cheap debt, get it now!

    Just make sure you can still repay it when they want more back for it in the future.
    Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

      Not really thought it through have you? No change there.

      Looking forward to a Corbyn led coalition with SNP, LibDems, Greens et al. The Kippers and gammons will explode, so win-win

      It'll cost the country, but as they say about Brexit, it will be worth it

          Debt is only an issue for those that need it. No mortgage here ... I see only the upside

            If that happened, guess what SNP, LibDems would demand in return for propping up a Labour government?

                Your name will go on the list. Of people who can afford to pay a lot more tax. Don't make the mistake of thinking you can just leave it in the company or pay it into a pension, those loopholes will surely be closed ASAP.

                  Meh. Happy to pay my taxes. No mortgage. No other debt. Limited outgoings. Wife pays all the bills and more. What I earn is icing on the cake. If I get taxed a bit more, so be it

                  If only brexidiots hadn't voted out eh? Oh well, if brexit delivers a Labour government and destroys the Tories well, it's what they deserve for pushing the leave vote

                    Looks like Labour will be throwing their weight behind Common Market 2.0 this evening. If this goes through it becomes law on Wednesday if it is confirmed.

                    Mrs May will then have to enact it whether she wants to or not.

                    Apparently Labour have decided to throw their weight behind this option precisely because that would most enrage the Brexiteers in the ERG.

                    I'm alright Jack

                      Well I am sure you help around the house too, so don't be too hard on yourself.
