I agree totally with the Mayor of Manchester on this housing matter.

The Scottish government stopped selling the social housing stock in Scotland in 2016. The Welsh government stopped selling social housing stock in 2019. Why would a council borrow money to build a council house, when a tenant can buy the council house with a large discount while the council still has to pay the original debt.

And I'll say to you,Andy, stop patronising the voters !! She wasn't forced to criticise Labour on social media.

As a Yank, who loves to observe UK politics, because Prime Minister's Questions can be more entertaining than anything on Netflix here are my thoughts. In a first-past-the-post system, the only way you can win is to have as big a coalition as possible. You use the term broad church we use big tent. To my understanding, she is standing down after the ending of this parliament. Having her sit as a Labour MP, even if it's only for a few months, tells lifelong Tory voters that it's okay to vote Labour in this election. And when are dealing with people who have no morals like the Tories, or people who are a direct threat to a democratic system like Donald Trump, sometimes you have to make uncomfortable alliances with people that you would rather avoid in ordinary situations. But unfortunately, those are not the times we're living in.

Why was sangita sacked LBC?

"Lots of people benefitted from right to buy". Indeed - like the relatively wealthy Angela Rayner, who bought her council house and sold it on the private market for a large profit while thousands of homeless people languish on never ending lists... Party of the people!

Andy should know as Mayor that it in the coucils remit through the s106 agreements to specify the anount of HA housing of new developments.

Agree absolutely with Andy, should have been and may still been a leader of the Labour Party.

Why headline this interview with the silly Tory MP's defection when mush of it is about the Tory-induced housing crisis - a much bigger issue. Does only gossip get attention?

There's a market for buying a home without the right to buy your council house to which we have ALL contributed through OUR taxes

This completely disingenuous question is being put to Burnham who clearly had no idea about Elphickes far-right views and Fogerty fails to enlighten him. I bet Elphicke's view on housing is for the private sector as well and completely at odds with what Burnham wants to do in terms of building social housing.

One of the first things that surprised me when I started work in Manchester in 1976 was the realisation that their opinion of Westminster pretty much matched that of people in Scotland.

makes sense Andy! Being a Tory MP can sometimes give people the misleading impression that you're, er... a Tory MP! That's what I call thinking outside the box

What a joke labour turning into. thankfully not In government

If Tories, like Elphicke, are now the strange bedfellows of New New Labour, then you have to wonder, where is the choice for the electorate? Our politics is a sham. to quote, Pete Townsend. 'meet the new boss, same as the old boss'!

Wheres Sangita ?

It’s irrelevent how short a time there is before the next general election. During a parliament isn’t it bad enough yet alone undemocratic for MP’s to defect to another party that’s different from the party they were representing at their election? If Natalie Elphicke was unhappy with the Tory government shouldn’t she have - in proper consultation with her Dover constituency - either resigned her Tory whip, stood as an independent or quit altogether? However it’s not rocket science to understand why another right wing Tory MP defects to Starmer’s Labour ‘just like that’. All it says is many right wing Tory MP’s regard Starmer, who via the NEC removed the whip from elected Labour party MP’s like Corbyn and Abbott and even removed the Labour membership of an actual elected North Eastern Labour Mayor Sean O’Driscoll, as being a more reliable right wing leader than their own! If any MP party defection has to take place at all which would make far more political sense these days it would be Starmer defecting to the Tories via the proper official channels of course. The current twenty five odd point lead Labour has over the Tories is not down to Starmer’s alleged ‘changed’ Labour Party and its useless aspirational reformist policies. Isn’t it down solely to the rotten decayed state of 14 years of failed Tory government?

Nope...she's making sure she's keeping her place on the gravy train!
