  1. > Ms Somerville is expected to blame UK government austerity and Brexit for the decision.

    As is tradition.

  2. You mean enacting policies to specifically to drive private landlords out of the market hasn’t fixed the rental market?

  3. >there are no practical effects that automatically happen due to a declaration being made.

    >the Labour motion is not binding and would therefore have had no practical effect.

    Big day of all talk ahead is all I see.

  4. Is that because they stopped funding social housing….. Couldn’t make this shit up

  5. You can’t just shout ‘bankruptcy’ and expect something to happen

  6. I’d really hoped the change in leadership would mean a more mature attitude to governance and less blaming someone else. Why can we never get a government in Scotland and UK that owns it’s problems and acts like an adult to sort them out.
