Spending review says



What about me? I bought a house just under 2 years ago, first time buyer, I had to pay stamp duty and I didn't get 20% off.

Perhaps he'll knock 20% off my mortgage. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahaha hhahahahaahahahaaahahahaa.

I would imagine not - but then most of the people on here are always up in arms about retrospective legislation application so I suppose it works both ways!

FTFY

Not so much "Hug a Hoodie" as "Hug a Jihadi"?

At least you will be able to reach through and hug your Syrian neighbor

You know they'll be cheaply built with paper thin walls

[MicrosoftBob]

You know they'll be cheaply built with paper thin walls, built irrespective of whether they are on a flood plain or not, and having to live cramped up with the plebs

I bet those starter homes will be a joy to live in

Spending review says

£2.3bn paid directly to developers to build so-called "starter homes", aimed at first-time buyers, who will get a 20% discount on prices up to £450,000 in London and £250,000 elsewhere

So what time does the fun begin today?

Best place for breaking news bbc I guess?

More reason why we all should vote with our feet in the next elections ( hopefully next year ) and vote Corbyn in. At least with Corbyn you will not get some slimy politician wanting to back stab you. Corbyn is straight talking and is our only hope of a government that looks after its working people.

I would prefer UKIP. But as the plebs only vote for one of two parties, Labour it is.....

[fullyautomatix]

Don't get mad, get even

If you generally vote Tory then come the next general election, forget all this smart-arse tactical voting carp and vote for some other party, COME WHAT MAY!

What on Earth is the point of voting for a party who now seem to be more left-wing and Europhiliac than even New Labour?!

On the other hand if what they want to do is destroy the middle class so we have oligarchs and everyone else they're doing a pretty fine job.

Torygarchs.

This is ridiculous. Contracting is often a gateway drug into building an actual company. I know plenty of contractors who eventually build their products and sold them to companies they previously worked for. Or get repeat work and hire people to help.

If they want more entrepreneurship this is not the way to do it...

I plan to do this once my non-competes expire
