Sadiq Khan, Labour’s choice for London mayoral candidate, has set out his housing policies - with possible rent controls high on the agenda.
Writing in the New Statesman in June, Khan - a south London MP whose relatively easy win in the Labour mayoral race took many political analysts by surprise - says that in addition to various land release and planning measures to build new homes, he will develop a new “London Home Bond”, purchased by investors to fund housing.
He will implement a “50 per cent target for genuinely affordable homes” in new developments and will use planning powers to prevent Buy To Leave purchases.

We all thought that the loony lefts disappeared in the 1980's - must be a bit like some insects, able to remain dormant for years and then re-emerge! Somebody needs to tread on them or poison them quickly before they turn into an epidemic!
