Labour more trusted to keep taxes low than the Tories, says poll. And its actually merited when you look at the facts, not the tory press. And obviously trusted to be more socially responsible, not putting people into poverty, evictions etc. A 4-star hotel and the corks popping tonight for the tory conference, why do we let them get away with it.

Funny that in Germany, lots of people rent all their life, they look on a house as a place to live, not as a pension pot, thats why they are always on holiday, spending the spoils instead of at home counting the pot! Tbh I guess the rent in Germany is capped at a price for a size.

Under what conditions should an eviction take place then?

Charge stamp duty on every sale and purchase Charge a punitive stamp duty on non British purchasers and have a proper checking mechanism . There are many countries where foreigners are not allowed to buy houses, we should at least be reciprocal. These proposals would both generate tax income and help to cool down the rental market at all levels. The problem is finding an equitable method that doesn't tax the same earnings multiple times as inheritance tax does.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

As these Pandora papers have revealed yet again I see no valid reason why offshore corporation / shell companies should be allowed to function in the UK. We have no idea who owns what in the UK e.g. our own football club. There must be millions of UK acres where the ultimate owner is shrouded in mystery, why? unless they are dodging taxes. In Norway tax records are available to the public so you know what your neighbour pays and vice versa. Trouble is that the people who can reform this are the very people abusing the system so it aint going happen.

Trouble is that the people who can reform this are the very people abusing the system so it aint going happen. The issue is its the foreigners who generally buy the high end places in big cities. Costing multi millions to build and most are bought off plan. I doubt many UK millionaires would be overly interested so stopping foreigners buying them would slaughter the market. I'm sure there is a great deal of tax made for hmg on these purchases. I said before that there can't be many foreigners buying 3 bed semis; I would guess that's brits buying to rent. Maybe if a cap on value to a foreigners buying of say 1m will keep family homes owned by brits but not many. The crack down needs to be on buy to rent as hmg have done but it still doesn't mean rental is any cheaper. Anyone could also set up as a business to buy more so really difficult to deal with tbh.
