I'm not surprised there is a mixed reaction to this. Like many I believe the right to buy gives many social housing tenants an opportunity to better their lives and those of their children. I think it is one of the more positive policies that have come from the Conservative government.

I am appalled at Corbyn's attempt, amongst others, to scrap this policy and, in my opinion, goes against trying to help people at the lower end of the earnings market. It is a positive and productive policy.

There should be room in a labour agenda to give people the chance to own their own property and improve their lives as well as successive future generations. If people own their own homes they have the opportunities to help their children and their children help their children etc. I also believe it would encourage people to want more for themselves and to have something to pass onto their children and want to work and come off benefits.

In my opinion, shame on Corbyn and other Labour MPs for this elitist and downright social stagnation of the less well off.

The only answer to reduced availability of social housing is to build more. If Corbyn thinks there is enough money in the pot to pay uni fees and backdate it for all students then there is enough to replenish the social housing stock. Maybe this policy should be revisited as people across the age spectrum should be considered in that manifesto. Currently it comes across as very selective.
