They see the gangs and misfits in society as being a decent voting block that they are always soft towards.

Fits with their anti police narrative.

Sell morals for votes.

That's just your opinion. What did they actually disagree with and why?

New social housing rent costs. Is this just taking from one set of poor people to give to another set of poor people?

Social support and housing services were blindsided and not even consulted.

Willis desperately walking back saying "social housing tenants effectively won the lotto"

No positive transformational policy, nothing fixed - Another example of shitting on the vulnerable and making peoples life materially worse.

"Sell morals for votes" that's a good one.

Meanwhile donors can literally buy policy from the government.

Hypocritical numpty.

Personally, I don’t like it. I know there’s not the funding avaialble but I’d rather they waited until there was and then left the social housing percentage at 25% while increase the accommodation supplement as funds allowed.

As for the money going to landlords, unless the tenant has arranged for the supplement to go directly to the landlord, the tenants aren’t legally obligated to let the landlord know they’re receiving it. A landlord would have to be pretty low, IMO, to raise the rent because they’re guessing that the tentants has received an extra boost…. and,, unfortunately, some scum lords will.
