More populism - won't somebody think of the landlords?

Landlords have had a rough time over the past decade.
Rental yields have practically stood still since 2014 but the gradual loss of tax breaks has increasingly squeezed profits.
They having a bigly hard time

It was dire, even by current tory standards. Ridge was having none of it. It's so good to see an interviewer who is well prepared and ready to fact check on the fly.

Can only think of two chancellors, Ken Clarke and Gordon Brown who raised taxes when the economy was doing well. This is a no brainer you’d think politically and economically but most Tories have scant USP beyond tax cuts so don’t worry about cushioning the blow in a future downturn. Of course leftists can be equally as reckless with poorly costed spending sprees.

This is part of the wider, broader issue I have with most of this election babble, Labour's pitch, etc. I get why, but: it never challenges many, many lazy, glib assumptions that harm us.

Nicked off twitter.
My son’s wearing a ‘Vote Conservative’ T-shirt today.
So far he’s been spat at, punched in the head and called a brainless twat.

God knows what’s going to happen to him when he leaves the house.

As others have pointed out, the CCHQ is likely paying for this stuff. If Andrea wants to freelance, she can raise her own money to do it.

Fucking state of that, based on her Bros fanzine with pics she cut out of Smash Hits.

The Healey Vs Benn Labour era will look like a tea party tiff in comparison to the Tory shit show that will ensue if Farage enters parliament. Without Johnson, he’s the best chance of a future job for a talentless low rent gobshite like Jenkyn. But others sympathetic to Reform aren’t going to see their ambitions brushed aside for a carpetbagger who hasn’t put in the hard yards over the years.
