It is tinkering like all the previous incentives to first time buyers which have failed, prices simply rise.

IMO only substantial house building programs of low cost housing will affect the market and bring prices down.

I agree with you.

A major criticism of both Tory and Labour governments is that they ignored the reality that social housing is purely a governmental project that should be a long term project over decades.

Government is governance of the able as will as the less able. It should do all it can to reward success but it also needs to provide the basics.....ensuring there is affordable and social housing is basic....it's mad how we have reached this point.

Of course housing is expensive and long term and so goes completely against five year democratic cycles and political self interest.....The Tories quite rightly see that people living in social housing don't tend to vote for them anyway and Labour know that they can take their votes for granted.

Social housing and affordable housing should be a proportion of house building for ethical reasons......Hence that's why it hasn't happened.

How can the government possibly hope to over take the housing problem and increase wages and improve the NHS with 300k new people coming here every year?

It makes no sense at all.

At least the national debt is under control.

The mail is ripe for slagging off. It prints lies, is borderline racist and seeks to divide.

Does that affect the housing problem? I thought that the white ones needed houses too.

The tories are now saying in interviews the stamp duty is to try and resolve the crisis in the short term.

Strange that when all projections suggest such a policy will do nothing but drive prices up further and the biggest beneficiaries will be people who already own their home.

It's a headline commitment, nothing more.

Do agree, a short term tax cut is about the zenith of tory economic policy.
