Funding for social housing in #SpendingReview much needed. But if government doesn't end Right to Buy we'll continue to see our council housing stock sold off faster than councils can build - they're cranking up the bath taps but leaving the plug out!

Major Qs for govt to answer on much needed housing funds: will it actually boost social housing or just go into pockets of developers? Will they end Right to Buy or will social housing keep being sold off faster than councils can build? How many new social homes will be built?

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

England could face water shortages within a decade. Since 1989 population, homes increased - 25 reservoirs sold off, no new ones, no desalination plants, 1 trillion liters of water a year lost to leaks. Companies borrowed to pay dividends. No forward planning. Disaster made by privatisation.
