@Jacob The UK is short of circa 4 million home. The usual ‘grab second homes jibberish would make hardly a dent in the need. https://www.centreforcities.org/housing/#:~:text=Centre for Cities' latest piece,of 4.3 million missing homes. No party is going to fix that in a term in office. What’s...

@RobinBHM My son owns an estate agency that also manages rental properties. 🤪 Council houses started in 1890 and was introduced by the Conservatives in the Housing of the Working Class Act. Housing associations over the years have provided some of the worst accommodation. You may recall the...

The majority of rental properties are owned by individuals, not corporations. Most landlords own one rental property and use it as an investment / pension. The rental market is owned by ‘ordinary’ people not the super wealthy...

I’d say that both Conservatives and Labour have a shocking track record, with Blair not reversing the trend / performing even worse.

Simply because there are more people who are able to buy houses than there is supply. So, in general rentals sold reduce the number of rental available, making it increasing difficult for those who are unable to save up for a deposit to buy a house. With record population growth, the situation...

If you took the time to look into it, you will find that the council’s have been selling off council houses since the 1936 housing act, under the National Government, Right to buy was first proposed by……the Labour Party in their 1959 Manifesto, but was brought in under Conservatives.

A quick Google suggests Stammer has a net worth between £7~15 million depending on a land bank valuation he owns. Now that isn’t as wealth by any stretch of the imagination as Sunak, but it would make him super rich in my book!

I’d start off with a rebate block and a 40mm profile block. As long as your buying modern safety blocks, ie pins and wedges (I would avoid serrated and wedge) then you can buy any named brand. It’s just a block, it’s not like a router bit, apart from dropping it on the floor, there isn’t...

Windscreen wasnt fitted properly originally, evidently a common fault. No issues since I had to taken out and out back in properly.

Many people who have been hugely successful have left school without any qualifications. Indeed, over my career I have organised and paid for over 1000 people to achieve at least 5 GCSEs from zero qualifications and a number we supported through to degrees. However everyone who has been...

@MikeJhn it’s for my workshop, I estimate around 150 to 200 litre of paint based on rollering 10 litres. Cheapest quote for getting it done was c£3K! Hiring an airless is circa £150 for a week, and it could be full of dried paint! The workshop is 1250 sqft with a vaulted ceiling

I’m ordered one, seems to have mixed reviews, but 3 year warranty and if it doesn’t work properly as it should then I will get the Wagner.

You’re absolutely right, a British Dependant territory where we got it right and had to hand back to China that is being destroyed slowly by socialism.

If we take two ‘banana republics’ and look at their tax rates to review @jacobs comments. Hong Kong, maximum personal tax rate 17% and Singapore 18%. Both have superb systems. Lower tax = less tax avoidance / attracts high net worth individuals and greater tax revenue. Monaco has ZERO tax and...

I'm painting block walls and a large ceiling. I have a HVLP sprayer. It’s definitely an airless I need.
