Who do you think would do the work, The Government Ltd.
This kind of work has/and is already done by lots of construction companies for council owned properties and housing association properties.

Improving the housing stock has a collective common good in energy efficiency and additionally social and health benefits.
Of course nobody wants to pay for it, which is fine, but at least admit that’s grounded in pure ideology. Not whether it’s a good investment by the state or not.

Grants for this type thing have been available in one form or another. I agree it’s a good thing and a good investment if managed properly, and available for all based on the property and not the means of the people living in them.

They didn’t really, also nobody called him a “terrorist”......”terrorist sympathiser” ...yes. The anti-Semitic problem has really evolved since then, refused to go away and he’s done little to stop it too. I don’t think he’s done anything in the last two years and with Brexit especially to improve his standing since 2017, and he lost then.

As bad as May was the Labour Party had an anti-austerity message that was getting through on the doorsteps.

it wasn’t just anti-austerity, Corbyn managed to move the agenda away from Brexit and con the students with a promise he couldn’t deliver.

Although you are right Boris does have the “I have a deal” message, but will the deal hold up with Farage saying it’s not Brexit.

Only for the hardest hardliners, people want it over and to move on - with a deal. This may not be the perfect deal, but it’s a deal. I think most Brexiteers could live with it.
