If in rental, you might be gone, mateys

You know doubt read of Starmer offering landlords up and down the country £5000 to house foreign freeloaders … on X earlier was a list of where:

  1. That is just about everywhere. Still it should give a nice boost to Reform if they are serious about getting rid of the invader.

  2. From observation, I’d say that it’s already well underway in one of those towns, at least; my son, who is on the lookout for a larger place to rent in the town centre, reports that the supply of advertised properties in the area has all but dried up - presumably not unconnected with the fact that, on weekdays, most of the local coffee shops and the terraces outside are packed with noisy groups of young and middle-aged men.

  3. What, none in the SE, S or SW of England?

  4. Interesting news. For quite some time large investment managers such as VanRock and BlackGuard have been buying up family homes for rental portfolios. This has been happening on both sides of the Atlantic. One of those investment managers is also major shareholder in the company overseeing this placement in the UK.

  5. Deeply concerning ... something major must change with this Starmer, esp. in summer.

  6. So, essentially all over the country, which is where the minimum rent will soon be exactly what the government will pay. Because why settle for a grand a month housing someone from the UK when you can get 5K housing a dinghy driver?
    Mind you if you're homeless can you vote? Handy way to skew the voting pool if you can't. Just make all the people that wouldn't vote for you homeless.
