Invest more in the NHS and Social Care. Interact in a positive way with Europe. Allow Green energy to flourish. Invest in Green energy and benefit from it's profits via Great British Energy. Bring shit infested water companies back under public ownership. Bring a lot more transport under public ownership. I've a suspicion they actually will build a bit more of HS2 up to Crewe but probably not the full route. Act like grown ups. And And build more houses. What will Labour do for us. Will they scrap section 21 no fault evictions?. Not sure that was part of their manifesto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very low overall turnout as well. I often think about data like this and wonder at what critical low point does an elected government not have a mandate to represent the electorate despite "winning" the election? It is the electoral system which we have used for many years, all parties know its weaknesses and will exploit it. Maybe the system in fact keeps out extremists. Reform got 15% of the vote, came second in what 90 odd seats yet only returned 4 MP's. Everyone really needs to vote at any election, it's a precious thing denied to many around the world and should not be taken for granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these box houses with 3 bedrooms where you can’t swing a cat starting price £250k . Didn’t you say previously you had the option to buy your council house at a big discount? I can’t remember if it was you. If so, did you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smallest bedroom can just about fit in a single bed. Virtually nothing else. No room for a wardrobe for the 10 year old granddaughters clothes, but the room has a cupboard where the hot water cylinder etc is housed in. Surprised that there are not minimum room sizes for houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a minimum size a bedroom can be to be called a bedroom. There was a story in the past where one builder was selling 4 bedroom houses, but technically it was only 3 as the “fourth” was below the minimum dimensions and buyers were kicking off because they couldn’t sell it down the line as a 4, and so it lost a lot of value immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who votes for who doesn’t bother me and a lot of the people I know it wouldn’t bother them. That's just life.

If only we had a parliament designed like this instead of our stale farty replica since the war, which promotes adversarial politics in a chamber that is too small. They still haven't addressed the fact the entire place of westminster basically has to be rebuilt but they are all terrified of telling the publci it is going to cost billions and take years.

Davkaus Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I've got mates with whom I have absolutely never discussed politics. Couldn't care less who they vote for, their politics never comes up and neither does mine. I do have some mates that are far more politically engaged, bring it up a lot, and I imagine we'd fall out if we had radically different views Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised that there are not minimum room sizes for houses. There is. Minimum room size for a single room is 70 square feet or 6.5 square meters. It also must be at least 7feet wide to allow for a bed Shared room is 110 square feet or 10.2 square meters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
