House prices rising or falling?....please explain how this government has actually influenced prices in the 3 months that they have been in power."

It’s similar to the last lot saying they weren’t responsible for the rise in interest rates but taking credit for when they came down. Hell Sunak even had it as one of his 5 pledges.

Not all working people rent " That's true. I knew someone whose reason for voting Conservative was that he was a home owner. However, he was employed in the state education service, had children in state education, both he and his wife had several disabilities requiring frequent use of the NHS and they only used public transport. But, heck, he was a home owner (who hadn't got very far with paying it off) so it made sense to vote for the party closest to his aspirations. | |||

I don’t get it I'm not upset. I'm pointing out that it's incorrect. Well a lot of us seem to think they are socialist, " Correct, and making yourselves look very silly. " and a lot of labour supporters think so too, so I think I’ll stick to my understanding despite you trying to tell me I’m wrong. " Sure. Feel free to stick to your misunderstanding of what socialism is. Seems pretty silly though, when you could simply read the definition. | |||

" It's the stores and warehouses they are looking to cut back on, in favour of more business friendly countries. | |||
