Spain launches €7bn housing plan to tackle rent crisis Spain's government on Tuesday approved a sweeping plan to alleviate the country's housing problem, one of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's main political vulnerabilities ahead of next year's elections.

Well done Spain.
"The new plan, worth €7 billion, triples government investment in public housing over the next four years. It ensures that subsidised housing cannot be reclassified after a few years. It also includes help for young renters and home buyers"

The underlying structural problems of UK politics that the country doesn't have the resources to do everything expected of it and a Westminster class in denial about this doesn't go away in the event of a new PM.

Thank you.
He remains a welcome contrast to BJ and other predecessors.
Who could possibly replace him on the international stage right now?
The manufactured outrage of opposition is disingenuous and distasteful.
Issues with relationships - not for the first time.

History will ask: why did no one send armies to liberate Palestine?

It's complicated isn't an answer.

Labour MPs need to realise this isn’t about getting rid of Starmer it’s about destabilising the Labour govt and getting rid of all of you .. for Nigel and his mates ! The media have been on overdrive on this since July 24 .. it’s the latest attempt but not the last !

“Low skilled”? A 30,000 data point care plan.
There is a 9% vacancy rate in social care, an average 12% of posts are filled by international recruits, but in some care providers that figure is 100%.
Who is going to look after you?

Not to be seen on the BBC TV News, doesn’t suit their agenda .

Also not to be seen in the Telegraph, Express, Mail, Sun, etc.

And nowadays not in the Guardian either.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

They could face ‘claims’ but the average emergency housing provision for all should be a consideration.

Of course he is!
It is clear the process needs review, people have acted in good faith, but we are in a different world now.
It is quite clear that some MPs and former PMs were, and are, a security risk and should be removed.
Any kleptocrats should have their assets seized and repatriated.

Who does the British people think could deal with current geopolitics ?
Imagine them in the room with the EU, with Putin, with China, with Canada/Australia, with the Middle East, with India, the African nations
