Do you know what a radical housing policy would actually be? A promise to build 100,000 council houses a year.

Any housing policy that doesn't focus on building more houses isn't worth the paper it's written on. pic.twitter.com/8g8szerx0V

There is no solution to the housing crisis other than building more houses. Everything else is window dressing. #BBCQT pic.twitter.com/dSZT2vlyMf

Immigration exceeded 1m in year to March 2022. And voters were quite content about that: concern about immigration remains extremely low.
Yes, a few ppl on Twitter will get angry today, but Britain as a whole is pretty relaxed about immigration. 1/https://t.co/vZgUwf8zq2 pic.twitter.com/8Mby4gqldV

It's misleading to claim the public are happy with current immigration levels just because they worry about other things more. Far more people say it has been "too high" than "about right" or "too low" and an overwhelming majority think the government is handling it "badly". pic.twitter.com/tb6NEdeiXn

The solution is not "more and more police officers".
The solution is not "a toll-free hotline".
The solution is not "learn Krav Maga".
The solution is not "let's arm ourselves".

The solution is to stop forcing us to live with people who hate us.#Zemmour #France https://t.co/HawRbP7aJV
