Every murder is a tragedy. None should be trivialised by political point-scoring. As a mother, I can imagine the trauma that Esther Ghey has endured.
It was shameful of Starmer to link his own inability to be clear on the matter of sex and gender directly to her grief. (1/2)

Starmer came from a working class family and became the top UK prosecutor. Rayner left school at 16 and rose through the union ranks. Thornberry grew up in poverty after her parents divorce. Streeting was raised by a single parent in a council estate. Lynch should get informed

This is a NIMBY argument disguised as left wing. Yes you can do more to tackle oligarchs buying up homes and leaving them empty but that is a drop in the ocean. Until you increase supply there will be a housing crisis.
“Just building more homes on its own is not going to tackle the housing crisis”
