        @BBCNews CRAP. Cons sold off land and council houses without thinking of population growing & didnt replenish or build new stock. Blame game

        @BBCNews The mainly fault lies with the Thatcher Gov's Right to Buy policy council homes. Blair should of stopped this when he was PM.

        @cbutler17 @BBCNews indeed. The first act of the last 3 prime ministers on their appointment was to have Thatcher round to tea. Revealing.

        @mrrottcodd New Labour under Blair threw away the hard fought Ideals and achievements of Old Labour. So not surprised who comes for tea.
