Re: Fertility rate: 'Jaw-dropping' global crash in children being born
There is a really simple answer that does not affect anyone's right to a 2nd home and other punishing policies.
Councils should be incentivised by government, undoubtedly through general taxation, to construct social/council housing particularly on their brownfield sites but obviously not restricted in this way. Targets should be set and that would include dealing with homelessness (UK residents, of course).
I'll mention it to Sir John.

Trust you to name drop someone who has very little influence in the current day party...
I suppose I shouldn’t mention Major and Redwood together, as Major got nearly three time the votes in the Leadership contest...

You could still have debated the substantive point instead of being irritating.

This is an idea that has been mentioned many times as well as making it easier to buy up these brownfield sites and/or confiscate land from developers who aren't using it.
But there is a disincentive for Governments to dramatically increase supply.

Why debate with something I agree with - any credible measure that increases both social and affordable private housing can only be a good thing.

Then please say so rather than being provocative, sneering and unpleasant.
