It’s ok the government will simply reclassify sheds and dog houses as homes, then import them from china to make up the shortfall.

Just because the economy is going backwards and fuel costs are through the roof and the health service is imploding, and farmers and small business owners are suicidal with stress from the tax changes, does not mean Labour don’t know what they are doing.
