Although it was my business and my house I sold. I had retired and drawn my pensions but continued the business until the cancer diagnosis. Moving to Cornwall was intended to let me enjoy the rest of my life in peace and beauty. Having enough to invest in property maintained both an income and an interest. I will be at one of the units over the weekend to fix a problem. I hope you also find the way to live happily and comfortably.

We could solve the problem of homelessness for far less than the cost of this absurd Rwandan gimmick. Starmer turned to homelessness and evictions in PMQs today and you could feel the opposition benches with him, shameing the tories. Better as many think he does not really 'get it'. Housing will be an important issue in the election, we need a huge program of affordable homes to reverse the disaster that Thatcher and tory greed has created.

Housing will be an important issue in the election, we need a huge program of affordable homes to reverse the disaster that Thatcher and tory greed has created. Housing is a very large crises and one that was entirely and deliberately created by government of both colours for economic reasons. Starmer isn't going to solve it mate....He isn't going to solve feck all....Immigration will continue to vastly outstrip the creation of new housing and if you think otherwise you're kidding yourself Steely. As for homelessness that also can't be 'solved'. It's a problem that neo/social liberalism has made far worse because its core root is both economic and mental illness.....with a constant minority aspect of abuse, which has always been a factor. However, reducing homelessness would certainly be helped with actual government that linked population size to affordable housing provision. But that isn't possible under neoliberalism.....which is all about pleasing the wealth class.....and it's funny that so many of its supporters pretend to be left wing.

Seven billion of taxpayer money has been wasted on diversity & inclusion schemes....which is rightly described as a scam here. For 13 years the Tories supported and paid for this. An incoming Labour party will celebrate it and continue it. Both these parties are dross and unfit for purpose.
