He definitely is. It’s refreshing to finally even hear this sentiment from our government. However it’s just words, hopefully we start seeing some positive changes in the rental and housing market.
Comment on Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’

Comrade Starmer lmao
He’s right though. I’d very much like a PM to take a hard line on these chuckle fucks.

I’m super dubious because Starmer has done very little to earn my trust, but I would be very keen to be surprised, or even proven wrong

Very small scale landlords are often working people, and lots of working people own shares. That said, the bigger landowners and stock holders are much less likely to be working people. Those fuckers contribute nothing of value to society.

No landlord is a working person, otherwise they wouldn’t be landlords.

I know plenty of people who work full time in real jobs, and also rent out a house. Renting a single building doesn’t give you enough to quit your job where I live.

Nothing “comrade” about it. It’s just sense.
