These houses are for Ukrainians and Afghans who worked for the UK while we were there. We let them down in 2014 and 2021, it’s absolutely right that we provide help to them.

And council houses for people who are already here and have or desire families? Where are the government grants for this ? Young Brits should just have to scrape together deposits and live with their parents or pay a private landlord’s third BTL mortgage for ten years before they can buy a hovel of their own and start settling down ?
Stop the handouts to people who have never paid a penny of tax in the UK in their life.

I’m all for giving homes to anyone who helped the British in a conflict. But I don’t agree anyone else should be a priority over our own people, including Ukrainians.

Absolutely disgusting when we have a housing crisis and homeless people are at all time high
