Yeah this is the issue when you want to make everything about which side of politics you are on.

Of course this isn't just confined to them, but they're the party of government, the so called party of law and order. Its highly relevant which side of politics they're on.
They reinstated a man with previous for sexual assaults and hes reoffended. These are the people entrusted to run the country.

Yeah, I accept in a group of people, there'll be the odd wrong'un. It's how you deal with them that counts, and if true (I accept it's an if) him having to have a minder is pretty damning. Whips are supposed to hold the information to bring MPs down if they rebel - not to be the ones leading the sleaze!

Politics latest: 'No plans to speak to Putin' says Starmer as he heads to G20 summit to shore up support for Ukraine
Louise Haigh has told Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips that the inheritance tax rise is "fair" on farmers and the government is not concerned about empty shelves this winter, as farmers threaten action over the budget.

Good job the party has a PM with no history of sleaze and a rigorous Ethics Advisor

I mean he may as well call a snap election. Even Boris Johnson recognises that he’s Boris Johnson and this is how he is and how he always will be so rather than the situation improving it will only get worse as the Carry on Tory show goes on. His best chance of winning another GE is sooner rather than later when even more shit has been added to what is already a sizeable shit sandwich.Politics latest: 'No plans to speak to Putin' says Starmer as he heads to G20 summit to shore up support for Ukraine

So. This week we’ve had “Carrie BJ for a job while my actual wife was being treated for cancer gate”followed by “to change the culture in government I’m going to appoint someone as a whip who has a history of sexual improprieties only for him to have to resign following further sexual improprieties gate”. Tune in next week for further gates
Tickled me a bit anyway…

The irony is the commentators and politicians who keep trotting that line out also keep telling us we need to move on so he can deal with the issues. If they knew what he’s like they’d know that the only thing you’ll ever move onto is the next controversy.

No ideas aside from the electoral necessity to keep house prices up

The headlines this morning are not good for Boris. The fact that he tried to sweep it under the carpet until a fellow Tory made an official complaint forcing Boris to remove the whip. The fact that Boris appointed him in the first place when he absolutely would have known his history of behaviour all show poor judgment. Another by-election seems inevitable now and it would take a smaller swing than Tiverton for the Tories to lose it.

Ridiculous, isn't it. How does that actually work, anyway. Your 3yo gets to inherit a mortgage if you die in a car crash?!?

well a 3 year old would in effect inherit the debt anyway so really it’s just a mortgage spread over a longer period

They would. tbf it was a poor example, but it's a bloody stupid idea though.

Why? There are 40 year mortgages now aren’t there?

Are you talking about Pinchers seat?
Can’t see that going to another party to be honest as there is no LD presence really to formulate an alliance… formal or informal.

Well. leaving aside the fact I'd think that would be stupid too... a mortgage is traditionally affordability, so it's as much across your earning career, isn't it? If we start with the assumption that it can be passed on to children, then it's no longer solely about *your* earning potential.
And a house is surely about being able to afford to live in it? Ultimately, if prices go up or down, that's redundant as long as you can afford to pay (and pay off) the mortage you have, as it's your home.
Of course, if mortgages are still decided by your ability to pay, and nobody else's, a 50 year mortgage will end up just a headline figure that next to nobody would take out, anyway.
I do find it odd how successive governments try to price control the housing market, but just about everything else is left to find its level.

I don’t see it that way at all. One lender claims to offer a 40 year fixed mortgage - that’s incredible and the passing down is an absolute red herring as the mortgage equity gets paid down at some point - yes it’s interest loaded at the start - and the house price grows
If you then take a mortgage insurance policy against the mortgage in decreasing term assurance it would cover the mortgage and cost very little

I think that’s harsh. The Government needs to do something to help young people on the property ladder.
For someone like me, I’m in mid-senior management and on a decent wage. Yet to buy on my own is very difficult and my options quite limited.
My deposit will be two thirds the value of what my mum paid for her house.
The housing market needs a correction, but with the economy going through inflation and interests rising… It’s a recipe for a lot of people to lose their homes.
