Seems like this is where the next Lib Dem leader ought to step up and offer some moral courage/do the right thing rather than worry about potential impact on votes further down the line.
Then maybe she should actually be a strong and stable leader and not care about what people think, if she was helping out a shelter, I'd be praising her.
Unfortunately she proves her true self instead.

Labour calling for expensive homes to be "requisitioned". I take it we've all seen Dr Zhivago and know what happens in a socialist utopia?

Diddums, the leader who took to office claiming to have a goal to help the just about managing everyman family's, whilst simultaneously doing anything but helping them now has a visible issue with the general public and suddenly decides actually talking to some of the humans who her horrendous decisions have affected is now important?
Apparently it's everyone else's fault that May has avoided the rank and file public like the plague, perhaps if you clearly are as genuine as "green Dave's" bike ride to number 10/get rid of that green ****, people start to think a bit of poo in the moosh wouldn't be a bad idea?
it is nuts... the government has already stated they will rehouse people within the borough (though tbh.. I still think a London wide policy would be far more sensible in the long run) - this certainly doesn't mean the state needs to confiscate private property

Sounds like a completely impartial news source. Well found.
why does it need to be impartial? - the tweets are there for you to see for yourself
Actually housing with no obvious ownership is a serious issue in many regions, it can destroy the value/be a hazard to neighbouring property and in high density situations prevent a legitimate owner/tenant from living there.
Populist mobs would scare the crap out of most sane people. I think she's doing the correct thing in avoiding "normal" people in uncontrolled environments, it was only last year a politician was gunned down.
then ramp up taxes in general on under occupied housing - you don't just confiscate property in a particular area on a whim because something bad happened nearby
Both are regulatory interventions, I'm opposed to neither of those however the current system is clearly inadequate!
who said anything about any of that? Remember tweets are small, not fleshed out ideas. On top of that, there's already a system in place to force the sale of empty properties.
Rather than biased new sources which scorza loves, how about hearing what they actually mean and how it would be implemented.
no one is taxation applied to all who fall within the criteria the other is politicians targeting individuals in a particular area unnecessarily in order to score political points, the latter would be heavily contested in courts and likely unworkable
Are you really trying to justify a PM's decision to campaign in "staged" public meetings, by mentioning the murder of Jo Cox by a right wing nutter?
Sorry can you link me to detail of either of the planned state interventions so I can make an unbiased evaluation?
I don't have an issue with hearing what they mean... but at the moment I'm commenting on the tweets
you're not making any sense - you're well aware of what is being discussed re: the two tweets and a suggestion by myself
