The private sector is run according to the profit motive so private developers will never build a) the quantity of homes we need or b) genuinely affordable homes. Govnt can't just leave it to the private sector - they must let councils build council homes https://t.co/odfBhm68HA

Private sector will never build enough of the homes the country needs on its own, @garyporterlga says in @FT. Councils in all areas of the country have to be able to borrow to build new homes again. https://t.co/xky3oVfP3m
