ICYMI & you're looking for a different 'solution' to the social housing crisis....

here's my outline proposal for an NS&I run National Social Housing Bond (which could be run through a state-run Social Real Estate Investment Trust, if that was preferred).... we should get out savings working to deal with one of out major problems.

Could social housing bonds be part of the answer to the housing crisis?

Funding needed for social housing is massive, and this article offers a novel approach, to be known as national social housing bonds

In tomorrow's budget, Rachel Reeves will offer Β£500m to Angela Rayner to help resolve the social housing crisis; this hardly seems adequate.

However, we also know that many people have large savings that they are reticent to invest via other financial instruments (not least of all due to suspicion of the spivs in financial services).

So, why not bring these issues together?

My suggestion: the NS&I should launch a National Social Housing Bond!

@MikeFromLFE @nusher @ChrisMayLA6

"...how long does it take to recruit & train a GP?" Standard undergraduate medical training is 5 years; new medical graduates then do 2 foundation years in a clinical setting before they can be considered for specialty training; GP specialty training is 3 years. Thus, a total of10 years is the minimum for a qualified GP.

@ehproque @ChrisMayLA6 because the camper van's owner is not a substantial donor to political campaigns, does not have hand-picked allies in Ofwat, and does not have high-powered corporate lawyers on retainer.
