- Cap rents, build 100,000+ council homes a year, insulate homes and introduce a charter for renters’ rights. Limit the number of holiday homes in any area, limit AirBnBs and ensure they are taxed properly.
- Make the rich pay their fair share by raising taxes on the wealthiest and the profits of big businesses. Crack down on tax avoidance and evasion.
