JEREMY CORBYN has insisted all young people should be entitled to a council house under a Labor Government, but Express.co.uk readers have ripped apart the general election plan, raging it would lead to a huge housing market crash and civil unrest sweeping across the country.
Jeremy Corbyncontinued on the intensive campaign trail in Telford on Wednesday, and told supporters in Telford young people should not be forced to “forget about council housing”. TheLabor Partywarned youngsters should not have to “make their own way in the world”. Mr Corbyn told the crowd: “It is time we started building a country fit for the next generation where young people don’t fear the future but look forward with confidence.
“Think of the young people who are given the subliminal message to look after your own education and look after your own health, forget about council housing, make your own way in the world.
“It’s depressing, it’s unnecessary and it’s all part of the contraction of the public realm and the public state.
“It’s within our grasp to do something different in this election, and that’s what we are absolutely determined to achieve.”
But the ambitious plan from the Labor leader has been brutally torn apart by Express.co.uk readers in our latest poll.
