Fuel taxes and energy taxes will rise.
They have to because Ed Miliband authored the 2008 Climate Change Act where he commits to reduce emissions by 80% over the period 1990-2050, four/fifths to use Churchill's preferred phrase.
LD and CON have signed up to this too.

Yes Jockey I am well aware of the Rents in London hence 80% ,
if there is demand and people are willing to pay they will keep going up ,years back no one lived above shops, 70s most spaces above shops were used as storage etc very rarely used as flats .

The labour rent cap has been ripped apart as crap and it won't work as intended.
It's just typical Red Ed gesture politics. And even when they say it works in ireland, that's apparently not true as it's a different system there.

J.C. Try renting or buying a decent house in Brixton for example in Lambeth now, unless you have had an inheritance then I just can't work out how people get the funds to buy a house there let alone somewhere like Clapham which is beyond ridiculous
Report Just Checking May 5, 2015 10:25 PM BST
I'm not disagreeing with you slippy!
To me it's supply and demand, you increase supply by building in higher density but in a nice "Manhattan" way not a "cr*p 60s housing estate" way, and you reduce demand by encouraging employers and good jobs to be in Manchester or Cardiff or wherever. Prices will come down.
Report bix May 5, 2015 10:58 PM BST
Yes. Supply and demand.
Introduce rent control and 3 year default tenancies and landlords will sell up just as they did the last time we had rent control. You can draw your own conclusion as to what the consequencies will be.
Report Just Checking May 5, 2015 11:37 PM BST
Or do exactly what the energy companies did previously when Ed opened his big state mouth, aim prices high in advance to cover themselves from future damage a freeze might cost, hurting the consumer.
Report G1_Jockey_4 May 6, 2015 9:49 AM BST
one reason for supply and demand is rich foreign people coming here and buying houses....put a hefty tax on those non eu immigrants wishing to do that.

lower this tax if they are sending their kids here to study but they mustnt study in london or within 100 miles of london or the tax gets raised....lets say 30% of the property value..
lowered to 10% for the condition.

i doubt banks will move in any serious nombers from london as its the financial centre of the uk and europe...trying to rival new york etc.

other businesses may do.

the other option is to tax people with buy to lets a higher rate to put them off...and higher stamp duty on second homes unless your in the process of selling....
there are loads of things they could do but no mp wnats to go down these roads because they will be either affecting their own pockets or their colleagues....

ether way wth the eurozone picking up migration will come into play....the worry is the eurozone is a big place and if it draws too mnay away too quickly..where does that leave the uk and its army of buy to letters??....in deep doo doo

Report Dr Crippen May 6, 2015 10:28 AM BST
Nonsense post bix. Because you don't give any details.

Three year default tenancies would see many tenants in court and if they didn't see the term through.
Tenancy agreements work both ways.
They are already available if both sides agree - few tenants want them anyway.

If you drive landlords away from renting then even fewer houses will get built. Many larger landlords expand their stock through new builds.

It's socialist policies that are turning the UK into a low wage rent paying society.
And now the damage that has been done to the standards of living for ordinary people is apparent, you blame everyone except the socialists and their policies.

As opposed to Labour landlords.

What's the difference?

If that's true, that will simply lead to tenants being prevented from continuing their tenancies on a periodic tenancy after the initial agreement has ended.

The landlord will simply find another tenant at his revised rate.
