Alastair Campbell: Attack on Jeremy Corbyn was ‘effective’
For Labour, shadow minister without portfolio Jon Ashworth said the Conservatives are “failing working people” and Mr Cameron is delivering the opposite to his pledges.
The British Prime Minister has warned that his country can not come under the control of the “terrorist-sympathising” Jeremy Corbyn in a speech putting national security at its heart. These associations would then voluntarily agree to sell their homes to any tenants who want to buy them. He said: “At a time when the need for nurses is growing, when publicly funded United Kingdom nurse training places will take several years to expand, and when agency staff costs are driving hospital overspends right now, we need to better “join up the dots” on immigration policy and the NHS”.
The starter homes plan, which was initially announced during May’s general election, requires properties to be offered at a discount of 20% below market rates, ITV news reported.
He will attempt to define his legacy in a speech closing the conference, telling activists this is a decade “which people will look back on and say: “that’s the time when the tide turned, when people no longer felt the current going against them, but working with them”.
Bookmaker Ladbrokes Plc is offering evens that Cameron will mention Greece in his speech to delegates on Wednesday, meaning that a successful one-pound bet will yield a one-pound profit. “What people want are homes that they can actually own”, explained the Prime Minister.
But it went down well with braying Tories, who rewarded Cameron with the first standing ovation of his 55-minute speech.
Many people on social media also seemed less than impressed with the prime minister’s new policy…
He brought the hall to its feet with a strongly worded attack on the recently appointed leader of the Labour opposition, Jeremy Corbyn.
A spokesman for Mr Corbyn claimed that Mr Cameron’s comments show that he is “rattled by the re-energisation of the Labour Party”.
“Yes, from Generation Rent to Generation Buy… our party, the Conservative party… the party of home ownership in Britain today”.
“Hopefully the positive messages will filter down to the constituents and we can tackle all of the things David has set out”.
However he believes it will provide the incentive for developers to start building the right houses and kickstart home ownership.
Matthew Elliott, chief executive of campaign group Business for Britain, said: “It s important that we keep the leave option on the table in case we don t get the changes that the country so desperately needs”.
