You are aware the Tories have been in for the last 12 years and Johnson's government has a large majority?

So there was nothing stopping the Tories from legislating to ensure that people in the top 10% of earners aren't legible for social housing if their circumstances change.

I suggest you join the Tory party and campaign on that issue if it upsets you so much.

as above.

I will just point such things out to a wider audience I don't want a pay cut or to be caught watching tractor porn - corr look at that Massey Ferguson!

They ignored Johnson partying during lockdown.

No they didn't, they didn't ignore Sir Keir's get together either.

Sadly the alternatives were so poor it wasn't until he got caught supporting a pervert that he was ousted.

I love the way The Mail infers 100k is a mega salary when I bet many of its poisonous columnists earn much more.

£100k puts him on the 97th percentile for earners according to ONS. I can see Littlejohn earning more but most of their copy paste hacks are surviving on near average wage.

Maybe to you its not mega money but to 96% of earners its a decent amount.

If we ignore his £20K pension contribution he is still on the 94th percentile.

Remember he is earning 3->4 times the average wage.

Its a nice salary we need to remember how fortunate we are!

It's a 4 year contract.

He hasn't been earning £100k for the last 20 years.

But ignore the fact that he's a contractor, because facts and Wail stories don't go well together.

Facts are like poetry. And most people f***in' hate poetry.

So if Vetran's means testing plan comes to fruition people would play the system like they do for state schools....

Incidentally council housing was originally just for people who needed a home and the idea of everybody being legible meant that you would get middle class professionals living amongst the working class, so diluting problem families.

no he is on a fixed term contract which is popular in such organisations.

He is not a contractor he is an employee.

His pay is a fact, the fact that he has as much stability as most employees is also relevant.

He doesn't NEED subsidised housing is that a fact or not?

Social housing is allocated on the basis of need it always has been.

Yes people would play the system but if its driven by tax then its difficult to play.

There is another choice we can build millions more houses and give everyone one! Not sure who will pay for it.
