-1 ... Stupid and unnecessary law allowing councils to prioritise locals over immigrants when allocating council housing, rather than basing it on need - even though immigrants only make up 2% of the social housing sector (1).
OVERALL - 0/10 A piece of stupid, unnecessary and diversionary rabble fodder legislation, designed to appeal to the Daily Mail and the Sun, addressing a non-existent problem and ignoring the real one, which is the lack of social housing stock. This is not rock bottom, they can go negative. But no reasonable government should.
