It's disgusting that this mother and daughter live in these conditions.
So it's for the tax payer to fund her family indefinitely is it?
Maybe if she got off her backside and did some housework!
Something the so called “superior” race never had to face due to privilege. Now, judgment has arrived.
This is what happens when no new affordable housing is built and social housing is sold off.
Tnx Maggie
Adding millions more people is a major factor.
There are lots of social housing being built but they all go to foreigners
@@michaelsrowland
By the government's own figures, they have failed to build a single social housing development.
There's a clip of Andrew Neil catching Liz Truss out on the matter.
Yes, getting one over on Pork Markets isn't hard, but that's not the point.
Property developers make far more money out of five bedroom houses than more affordable two bedroom starter homes.
They are supposed to have a percentage of affordable homes built for each new estate or expansion, but they use political donations to essentially bribe either the local authorities or the government into overruling planning rules.
Robert "honest Bob" Jenrick was taken to the high court by a Labour council over his decision to use his authority to override the council because they wanted to delay the permission until new rules came into force, requiring new infrastructure to be built.
He was ordered to hand over his communication with the developer, so he dropped his defence and allowed the council to force the developer to comply with the new regulations.
There has been a few new estates built around my area and no new affordable housing, no new doctors surgery or upgraded infrastructure.

Well then, I hope you've done your bit and had the snip.
That is unless you're batting for the other team.
Not judging mind.
You prefer dicks to tits, it's no business of mine...
When my parents bought their current house I was 6 months old, and they put me in the middle of a white sheet on the floor then hoovered up the fleas as they hopped towards me. There's obviously a big difference between that, and *renting* a vermin infested home... I had no idea we even have cockroaches in the UK!
My home is below all standards for a home in the UK - small size, black mould, draughty, mice, sketchy heat and electrics - but I'm a young, fit, single adult male who's *actively chosen* to live off-grid in this manner, not a young family being unwillingly bumped from house to house!!
It really is disgusting the conditions which some landlords let their houses fall into. Perhaps some sort of governmental private rented accommodation inspector is needed that can penalise landlords directly in order to pay for these essential bits of repair, maintenance, and vermin control when the landlord won't... Or maybe - call me crazy - housing owned by the government, funded and maintained directly by the government... Council houses! But of course, they sold all that for a quick buck years ago.
And then when it comes to the subject of "affordable" housing (in my area, usually new houses costing £350,000 are marketed as "affordable") I'm of the opinion the inside space could be smaller and there needs to be more parking space on the premises. New build houses 3 doors down from my parents house have space for 1.5 cars on the driveway as long as you're happy with one of the cars being blocked in by the other... that's not enough for a family where everyone drives, and the once easy to drive along road is getting closer and closer to becoming impassable for buses, and that's before those new builds are even occupied. Everything we do in this country in this century is so short sighted and callous.
Yes you guys have roaches in the U.K. like any other place. Welcome in the real world 🤦🏻♂️
completely agree!!! its morally reprehensible that this govt continue to punish those not wealthy enough to afford the exorbitant cost of housing currently.
@@madrugadao000 Someone seems to have been offended enough to have hidden your comment (not me), not sure why, you make a fair point.
It's kind of like how rats and Psilocybe semilanceata are everywhere humans are because we unwittingly introduced them to once new places.
I wasn't aware of cockroaches being in the UK because I've never seen one nor heard them mentioned in conversations with anyone here, ever. One learns something new every day!
So basically they used you as flea bait....great stuff. Just hoovering everyday gets rid of them.
Private landlords, some of them are way better at maintaining their property than the councils ever are, some council housing is atrocious and neglected beyond belief. Grenfell is just one example
It becomes scary to work and have a child in these days and times. My children are almost adults but i would never have them if i was a young woman in these days.

This is the UK!!! Unbelievable!!! The Tories did this, they took away the ability from councils to build new social housing. Right to buy has caused rich landlords to buy up cheap housing stock! Then Landlords rent them triple the price of the typical social housing rent on the market. Disgusting! I’m happy I left the UK!
They didn’t tell the councils to keep selling off their housing stock greatly below market value, whoever runs the country all does a bad job
@@rbxrockettrio8650 The government made a fundamental change in the housing law back in 1988. After this, the UK began to see a shift in the private rental market. Most housing associations today are not run by the council but by private companies. Councils had no choice but to sell their properties below the market value because of the government's law allowing tenants to buy their council homes. The government makes the law, and unfortunately, they have FAILED terribly.
It's not this. The banks are buying up to 15% of all property sells last year which is the highest its ever been. This is keeping the market from crashing.
Also landlords are being offered 5 year contract for much higher rent than they would put it on for by councils housing migrants. 47,000 arriving on boats every year, where do you think all these people are going to live? And do you think they paying their rent, or your tax is?
Why is it shocking?
Selling off and stop building of council properties only leaves to end. Privatisation of government responsibility only costs more and worse services.
or use the money to build new housing. Reinvest the rent made on social rented properties as they have paid the property 10x over.
500,000 council houses have been given to foreigners by Labour councils.
@@saxglend9439 is this a better alternative?
Councils couldnt affodd the upkeep.
@@saxglend9439 - I think you are underestimating. Giving away council housing to foreigners has been going on for decades. I remember queues of migrants waiting on the ground floor of the offices of the Labour run Camden Council in the 90s. Apparently, if they turned up with their families saying they were homeless, the council had a legal duty to house them. Meantime indigenous Londoners living with their parents in council flats and in the paper housing queue were pushed further and further down the priority list. In fact, many of the foreigners housed in council flats in London went on to make a fortune buying and then selling them under the Right to Buy scheme. In 2022 alone, 1.1 million new foreigners have migrated to the UK. It is foreigners that are causing the housing crisis.
We have too many people.
Nett migration alone was half a million last year. All of those people have to live somewhere.
The kelurgi plan. Look it up.
Housing, once a home, now just a gain,
Leaves the homeless out in the rain.
Investors seek profits, not a place to dwell,
Leaving those in need to suffer and yell.
No roof above, no bed to lay,
Just concrete streets and a cold dismay.
Wealthy gain, while the poor lose all,
In this game of housing, where the rich stand tall.
But let us not forget, that every soul,
Deserves a home, to keep them whole.
Let's strive for a world, where housing is a right,
And not just a tool for the rich to gain more might.

If the councils cared they'd task their legal teams to sue these landlords, rather than waste their time on everything else councils do.

There’s plenty of money for war though, smh.
There should be rule wherein only 1 house allowed to own per family (definition of family can be defined), and extra houses that are bought and kept empty should be charged 45% tax on the notional rental income which should be the highest , hope nowadays such a data is available to the govt online in one platform . this will help to reduce housing concentration especially in cases where houses are bought and are kept empty

No, there isn’t. I spend £1000 a month (not in london) for a tiny 2 bed house and my bathroom, no matter how ventilated, is permanently mouldy.

@@SaraLevins indeed, the cycle of generational poverty

A lot of damp problems are caused by the replacement of sash windows in terraced houses with windows which don't have a built-in adjustable vent. Even when closed, most old sash windows let in some air. Our breath contains water vapour. The more people in a sealed room the damper the air after a time and this can cause dampness of walls and ceilings which can lead to mould.
wellcome to freedom and opportunity of capitalizm
Yeah I got rid of damp and mould by having windows open more and heating on at same time. Waste of energy no because there is no longer a problem. Just old housing with modern lives not mixing well
@@nicholasr39 - It's a pity you don't have window vents. Some double-glazed windows have a small vent that can be opened that can do the job without a huge loss of heat caused by opening the windows in winter.
@johnwoods7650 strangely downstairs does have these, you'd think they would be upstairs at least seeing that heat and damp rises up not down. Those little vents near the ceiling someone has blocked those off, am I right in saying these are for carbon monoxide??
@@nicholasr39 - I certainly hope not. Not unless you have a faulty heater. If you are burning fuels, you need a chimney for that, but mainly Carbon Dioxide is given off. You breathe out Carbon Dioxide so that's why you need ventilation and for the water vapour. Air bricks should not be blocked. They avoid mold and damp.
Those glue traps are evil. Poor mice do not deserve that 😢
What about all the derelict & empty properties ....

Temporary accommodation is most often not fit for purpose and more expensive than had the government built more social housing. So the Tories misappropriating social housing funds to private investment property owners when ithis money should have been invested in new social housing. Criminal or just unforgivable management. management?
Landlords are being taxed and informed that all privately rented homes are to be renovated to at least category c energy rating. This in turn is causing private landlords to leave in droves. There are approximately 4.2 million private rented properties. This is not the worst case scenario yet. Things will get worse.
You’re right. It’s assumed your a landlord so you all must be rich and you don’t care....wrong! Some of us provide good safe accommodation not for profit we just want to be able to support ourselves in a old age and have invested in property rather than poorly ran pension schemes. Careful what you wish for taxing us and pushing for expensive renovations as you’ll decimate good affordable rental stock.

Damp is down to lifestyle. Unfortunately, if you can't afford to put your heating on, and allow the air to vent every now and again (potentially wasting the heat, etc.) then *you are going to get damp* . It doesn't matter how much money your landlord spends on insulation, etc. Moisture from everything from breathing to cooking will always accumulate on the coldest walls of the house if you don't keep it warm and allow it to breathe.
EDIT / UPDATE: 'Lifestyle' is probably not the right word here. I mean 'the way I live' in my house.
100% correct, but only a fraction of the population understands this
So if you can’t afford to pay to put your heating on and you live in an accommodation that you can’t adequately ventilate…that is down to your…lifestyle?
Sorry, I must be getting confused here. You’re implying that this is a lifestyle decision for some?
@@HappyAwesomePower Rich people don't get damp because they can afford to heat their homes and they can afford to waste heat. That is the sad reality.
You can have all the best insulation in the world, but if your house is cold (e.g. because you never put your heating on) and it is humid (e.g. because you live there, showering, breathing, cooking, etc.), then you will get damp on the coldest walls in the house (e.g. north facing, or the walls that catch the wind, etc.)
This was a massive realisation for me. I would close all my vents on the windows, try to spare the heat, etc. But my back bedroom wall attracted all the moisture from the air and it was damp and mouldy. My window frames would attract black mould and be full of condensation, etc.)
As soon as I started putting my heating on more and allowing some of it to escape to ventilate the place and rid it of moisture, the problem was solved.
Also, something else to bear in mind. Humid air actually costs more to heat...
@@HappyAwesomePower In other words, I changed the way I live ('lifestyle' might not be the best word choice here), and it made a difference. Now I would rather spend an extra £20 a month on heating and losing heat, than risk getting respiratory problems because of damp and mould due to locking all that moisture into a cold house.
EDIT / UPDATE for clarity: An extra £20 on top of the £150 I already pay (I'm not saying my monthly gas bill is only £20!
@R4iderSc4vver That could work too. I might try it. Do they cost a lot to run?
Landlords can get away with murder if they wanted to.
Noticed how he has said genuinely affordable rent, not affordable rent, as the government definition of affordable rent under the Affordable Homes Programme allows Housing Associations to charge up to 80% of the open market rate, making social housing unaffordable.

I’ve look at this myself. It’s crazy what happening. Housing benefits or state support isn’t going to help. when people people don’t know where the next penny will come from. It’s rarely consistent. Many haven’t a clue. Yet the world still expects them to be onside? I’ve had a look at various solutions. House boat, canal restorations. Static caravans. It been a fight on my own just to get as far as I did. Enormous strain on myself enormous strain on family. The human toll is criminal! For example I’ve seen caravan go for 2.5k is responsible nick. The council if it followed procedures could build 15 of them for the price of a new build. It can use it smart to solve the issues many of the old stock has face. My local council call me unreasonable in unreasonable times. It has the power it need to solve this crisis but if fear they out of there depths? too stupid or stubborn to use the power it has to get people of the streets. People into more suitable accommodations. They had the power under Hansard 1948. It can but won’t. I here excuse after excuse. In the end they are being abusive towards vulnerable people. 5k a head minimum to sort out. The caravan can be self sufficient. Reducing cost of bills. For those luck enough part ownership with a mind towards full ownership. It driven me mad trying to see this through. You can get oil burning heater. That run on wicks. Can be made for £50 if you hunt for bargains? Then you have the green energy option? Batteries. Deep cycle lead acid batteries are quite common. I just fear they employ the most uneducated people for the role. as they can bully them easier? We also are too desperately reliant on the financial system as a whole. It killed more than it saved. From what I’ve encountered there very little substance left in the town hall. There maybe a few who are trying but they have been meet with resistance. The estate management I got a half decent conversation out of. Though didn’t get me all too far. I later found out chunk of land being sold cheaply. I could have put a caravan on? They knew I had an interest but disregard it. You can find all sort over the internet. Sm and auction site are primary a good source for this. You can find some going free but you need to arrange transportation. At this rate they could mobilise the TA to get the job done? Like I said they have the powers. There are old army bases, airfield and navy site that can be brought into use? There are billion and one things to do! I just don’t think there being smart about it?
well said i Applaud you yes derelict sites to put statics could house people overnight and wouldn’t cost a Astronomical amount but their Apathy is evident,They over complicate it because A-lot of Mp’s are landlords property owners and They want to keep the population under their control
@@edwinromilly4645 I would further add in there efforts to manage the population the councils broke the law. It simply stifle opportunities and reduce options for Everyone. It removed everyone right to autonomy. Without trial I might add? Has caused serious mental health and social development issues. We’re all the poorer for it. When they wake up to crimes against humanity charges they might wake up? It sickens me that they do this to people. I’ve known the attitude that lurk in those dark hall. Herd it come out much folks mouths. More than a few times. That they rather someone die on the street than help out. They know babies are being born to replace them so they don’t worry about the ones that died. Where I am the council lost 7 people in one day due to the cold. They will and do use the environment as a weapon against people. It’s inhumane and criminal. It Geneva convention breach to start with. Never-mind the Nuremberg ramifications? They won’t even give funds to the people have been most effective. So that quality standards are meet. I do believe there are fund for remediation works? I rarely hear anyone talking about that. the council are defrauding these people. To an Astronomical tune? There are so many levels to their apathy, its unreal! It not quit Warsaw ghetto level of privation but it won’t be long before it is.
Waiting your turn sounds like someone who needs goals in life
@MyLazySundae whose choice was it to have a child without proper financial support?
@@apebass2215 welcome to the UK. How dare you insinuate that people should take responsibility for themselves!
Most if not all the politicians in this country these days have the 'best' private eduction money can buy, Then they become mp's and civil servants and so on.......What do they teach them in these private schools and universities??? The fine art of doing nothing ??!!
The art of lying
It's not about learning it's about making connections.
In that private school are the sons and daughters of the top judges, the billionaires, the bankers, royalty, media barons etc. And they all grow up in the same cliques on a level of society that the rest of us never see or experience.
Who really puts them in power, and whose interests will they look out for? Are people really surprised that they look after their wealthy friends above all else? That's their social group, much like a farmer will know other farmers and have kids that most likely will be involved in the agriculture industry.
While it's not fair, it's not really done on purpose to screw us, it's just how things are.
I rent from a housing association, I have damp and mice, drunks, young thugs on tag, a young guy who beat his cats up so bad, I had to get the RSPCA out, both of them had broken bones. It is national and unacceptable. I am on immune suppressant drugs so I will get ill a lot, I pay £70 a month for service charges and the hallway is filthy.
Are the streets not big enough for the poor-said Mr.Scrooge
I think he went further and said that if they were going to die they had better get on with it. He was defo a Tory before his 'conversion'.
5:14 The general problem is that we don't care... is what he should have said. He didn't, care. Thing is: either you are part of the solution, or the problem.
The UK government can initially stop short term rentals immediately. There’s plenty of rental properties that have gone to Airbnb type rentals. Places like Devon and Cornwall are at crisis point.
Hi from Plymouth Jane! 👋👋👋
Thank you for this wonderful video!, I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Janet
Wow I'm just shock you mentioned and recommended Expert Mrs Janet,I thought I'm the only trading with her
Here in Texas Expert Mrs Janet carries out the both orientation and mentorship

Scrap right-to-buy, claim back a load of land that councils could use, build quality value high-density housing (actually quality), outlaw paying a penny to private landlords by 2032.
You shouldn’t scrap the right to buy, with every house sold they can build 2 more, what have they done with the money from the sales of houses.
Yeah right to buy needs to stop, it's been a complete disaster
This is England. People have a perception that it is a rich country. But in reality it is a very poor country. Overcrowded. It has rich people but most are poor
It IS a rich country, but the weak isn't as evenly distributed as it should be! ☹️
It is like an eastern european country with a rich elite and a capital city similar to New York.
@Questionator He really left a lasting legacy.
It’s only £800/month for the entire house?! Wow…is that expensive for Manchester? Surely not for London…
They don’t mention how many bedrooms though…presumably 2
Finally I'm on a list!
One more thing the British government can't do
which is exactly why we should be housing our own vulnerable people, not on those in hotels and other prime social housing that enter illegally. That £7m per day should be spent on improvements and increasing affordable housing.
Totally agree, if they put illegals in housing like this there would be an uproar. Because these people are British they don't count.
If only the council could just buy land and get planning permission from the council to build affordable homes.
We had bedbugs, woolly bears mould damp. Still very grateful for that place. By the way, it was council accomodation permanent at that. Mice? Use a trap.
Only to be expected under a Tory government. The Tories have no shame or conscience. If you voted Tory, then YOU are responsible.
😎😎😎👍
Love the way the commentator switched to LORD whatever, as if he cares.
😂😂😂 so true
We got 100, 000 house empty in England get them sorted out first before you build we all sick of rented repairs not being done dont know when we will be moving its not a home its a place to stay for a while I am single older person been in rented since 1995 nothing has changed and when you rent you looking at 6months rent rent going up the landlords having a laugh we got no protection. Wake up and help us.
The Misery of the Evil Iron witch can still be felt decades on since it left Downing street
Can anyone explain to be why they not claiming universal credit???
I am sure they are claiming UC. What does that have to do with the state of the housing ?
Such things are inevitable in an individualistic (i.e. selfish) society. Indeed, the logic of our social-historical development is that far worse is still to come. And there's no answer while we're dominated by the ideology of individualism, personal responsibility, ambition and acquisitiveness - i.e. our enduring selfishness.
America’s number one export

Individualism is a product of diversity, can't put your people first...
Tiny home communities for the homeless.
That's what's needed.
Why did she not charge Channel 4 news for money for filming
12 years of the Tories look at this Country ! Like Charles Dickens era !!
Our people go homeless and illegal migrants get hotel’s this government is not fit for purpose and it’s time for reform
Never before have I seen so much care and concern for the homeless since the 'migrant' was added into the mix.
It truly is an incredible turn of attitude towards those who would otherwise have been demonised and persecuted for whatever reasons the media created against the homeless.
Not surprising considering the cost to wages ratio of buying and renting
Wait a min. I thought we don’t get cockroach here in the UK!?
