From: Richard Watson, Adel, Leeds.
I normally enjoy Question Time and topical debates but listening to it left me infuriated and incensed with anger to such an extent it affected getting to sleep. Starmer was asked a question about the problems of saving for a deposit when so much is being spent on rent. Starmer stated that people pay a huge part of their wages on rents which 'are through the roof' and 'housing isn’t what it should be”. Starmer’s answer was vague with sweeping statements of condemnation.
Likewise, a letting agent acting for a landlord would wish to achieve the best price for his client, which Starmer fails to understand. Starmer says landlords are “ripping people off” but, why does he not say that owners selling houses may also be “ripping people off”? The next thing will be rent control which is no more silly than “capital value control” which, for some reason, is never mentioned.
