I don’t think so. Landlords will always charge the maximum the market will allow. If their expenses go up, they can’t simply up the rent and expect their tenants to magic more money out of thin air. A huge number of renters don’t have any disposable income to eat into and that acts as a lower limit on what they can pay.

But renters do constantly have to fork out more and more to rent. What would likely happen if it became too unaffordable is standards would drop more and more. Look at Hong Kong and places like that. Basically, renters are always gonna get fucked over especially in a country like this

Hopefully all of them, to the bottom of the sea 😍

Have to take your victories where you can, Patel leaving home office would be delightful.

Not seen anything about Patel. Rumours are Williamson to N Ireland, Dowden to Education, and Gove to Foreign sec.

Patel been rumoured for an age now - Williamson to NI would be hilarious, a uniquely useless man to a role that requires nuance.

N Ireland has been fucked by brexit and now they're going to put the most useless minister in charge.

Hopefully this backfires on Johnson and some Ministers will try for payback.

Awful appointment but I kind of get it, perception is that she's done great with these trade deals.

I wonder if Williamson will hold a grudge, he put up that picture last year with him at his desk and a whip on the table after all?

well, he's still in the cabinet...all be it at a job which is seen as a punishment. Williamson isn't stupid, but he obviously didn't give a flying fuck about education. I wonder if he cares about N Ireland.  And I wonder what dirt he has on Boris Johnson.
