Jeremy Corbyn has vowed to tackle Britain’s housing
crisis with new moves to cap private rent levels, build more council housing
and to end ‘social cleansing’ caused by Tory benefit caps and housing
sell-offs. The Labour leader accused the Government of ‘social cleansing’ his
constituency and other areas of the capital, claiming its benefit curbs and
plans to force housing associations to sell off stock were forcing the poorest
away from the communities they grew up in. Corbyn also said that his new plans
would help persuade Tory voters that they had a ‘self interest’ in voting to
end a system where many young people had to live at home into the 30s. He also
hit out at rising house prices, warning they were not ‘a good thing’ and
declaring that it was ‘nonsense’ to pretend that homes values were linked to
sustainable economic growth. Read more
