As I said on #PoliticsLive yesterday, this week's @BBCPanorama proved what Greens & many others have known for decades:
🏚️ #RightToBuy is a slum landlord's charter and it has to go!
💚 @thegreenparty would scrap it and fund councils properly to build more social housing instead https://twitter.com/ACORNunion/status/1640721099468988417

You heard it here, Greens 🟩 will scrap #RightToBuy.
How about you @UKLabour @Conservatives @libdems 🤔? https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1641104044730007554
... 40% of those homes sold via #righttobuy are now in the private rented sector and people can't save enough for a mortgage due to demand massively outstripping supply. As a result #tenants are increasingly living in expensive, poorly maintained housing because we can't enforce what rights we theoretically have...
This may be a controversial #housing take, but is the professionalisation of landlords a bad thing? Yes, it means that the buy-to-let crowd with their small portfolios are crowded out by big companies, but it might be an opportunity to fix the private rented sector in the #uk.
I think we need to face facts: mass home ownership via #righttobuy was a one-time thing made possible by unique conditions such as a falling birth rate and a surplus of social housing...
@adambienkov Nah, the competition from the rest of his shitshow cartel over the decades is way too strong.

🧵Gove & Johnson's desperate, half-baked #righttobuy plan is expensive & inefficient
Costs are vast - roughly £70,000 per home because of costs of giving discount to buyer and costs of replacing like for like
