KEY TAKEAWAYS Labour still has a lot of left wing MPs in the party, convincing them to vote in more centrist policies will be a challenge for Kier Starmer. Whilst labour may now increase national insurance of income tax, they will find ways to stealth tax. Look at post war Britain, prior to Thatcher, shows the problems with rent controls and we are starting to see these issues again with the controls that have been brought in with legislation in Scotland. One way the country could help tenants and landlords and begin to solve supply and demand problems in housing is by reforming the planning system. Local planning regulations, with zones and permitted development within these would speed up planning processes and consent Whilst it may not be popular, someone in politics needs to make some tough decisions around planning and development so we can solve the housing crisis. BEST MOMENTS "He’s not Jeremy Corbyn is he” “The conservatives have done an appalling job for too long” “I would reform the planning system in a huge way” “Someone will balls needs to actually do it” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.
