What happens to them during the destruction and ­building phase and what happens afterwards?

You’re building fewer places to live in than were there before. How will it work?

… None of it makes sense unless you follow the money and try to work out who benefits from this ­madness. Not the country, not those on normal wages, not the poor and vulnerable.

Those who benefit are property developers and ­private landlords. Or to put it another way, Tory donors and Tory MPs as they hoover up all that housing benefit money.

Remember that next time your hear about the amount of benefit going to some hard-working person on low pay. She isn’t getting the housing benefit.

No, this wedge of taxpayers’ money is going into the pockets of private landlords.”
