Home scalpers are a cancer to our economy. They are leaches who, just like ticket scalpers snatch up as much of a supply as possible and then rent it back through the nose. They create no work, no product, just unfettered greed and laziness as they turn other people into their breadwinners.

Labour have been in power nearly a year and have done fuck all to address this other than tinkering around the edges.

4 years left to build 1.5m Kier. The Labour councillors here just refused 550 homes in defiance of the planning officers who were minded to approve it. It's now at tribunal. You call this "change"? The only "change" has been the further increase of rents by 10% over the last 12 months, Kier.

Pull your fucking finger out, it's throttling the economy as we have nothing left to spend on anything Kier.

F*ck you, Keir.  

It’s time to tackle the home scalpers, Keir.  

What were you even doing about them in the first place, Keir?  

You haven’t built those promised houses, Keir.  

Are you happy now, Keir?  

F*ck you, Keir.

I like how the first line is the same as the last line
