Very strongly agree

Yes, but only if every penny raised is ring-fenced to build new social housing

This aligns closely with Labour's 2024 manifesto, which pledges to review the system and ensure councils can keep 100% of the receipts from sales to reinvest in social housing.

Strongly agree

No, unless there is a guaranteed "one-for-one" replacement for every property sold

Agree

Yes, home ownership is the best way for working families to build generational wealth

Slightly agree

Yes

Disagree

No, public housing is a community asset that must remain in state ownership

While valuing social housing, modern Labour policy accepts a mix of tenures and does not strictly demand that all social housing remains in state hands forever.
