        Yet another announcement, this from a Conservative party that gave housebuilders a way to get out of building their affordable housing obligations required in planning section 106 agreements by using "viability assessments" whilst making even more millions in profits.

        @bbclaurak please tell BBC viewers that the @Conservatives caused the biggest fall in the number of new affordable homes! They are not going to solve a "crisis" they caused!

        Also, please tell them Labour did absolutely nothing to help the social housing crisis for the entire time they were in government.

        You do know they spent that money on renovating all the social homes stock which was in a bad state of repair at time. Yes it would of been great for more social homes but the neglected home renovations were a bigger priority at time.

        I know under Labour my neighborhood was socially cleansed. They torn down many social houses that were in good condition only needed a little work to bring them up to spec. We were told during meetings that it would be 50/50 between bought and rented. it end up being 99/1 B&R.

        That headline is disengenuous. The money is for both social AND affordable homes. How many will actually be the former?

        Wonder when the U turn on this one will be? I need to save this tweet, cause the u turn will definitely 100% come. Tired of hearing Tory bollocks. They just lie all the time.
