The Conservative Party have nothing to be proud of, they achieved nothing in 14yrs of government except record levels of corruption, soaring costs, sewage in our rivers & coastlines & the destruction of our services & standards. They wrecked the U.K. & blamed it all on various scapegoats.

Camden sub-contract boiler and lift repairs but others are run and managed internally. Camden have allowed private companies to build multiple high rises in the borough particularly around Kings X. The majority of the units are sold to overseas investors and remain empty.

That's probably true and Camden does really well in some areas. There is a thriving voluntary sector which manages to pick up some of the pieces that have fallen by the wayside due to reduction in funding. However, really bad planning decisions have been made around housing.

That is true but there are aspects within their control which have been very badly managed. One example is the Repairs system for social housing. More money would help of course but also, it is badly managed, endless restructures which add more layers or management and get rid of front line staff.

I see poverty every day - homeless people, people using food banks etc. I'm not sure what you mean by "people like yourself". It sounds like a pejorative comment.

I hear what you say but are you talking about the former Soviet bloc countries? It's bad here but maybe not bad enough for enough people?

I've been to two events in the past week where the leader of Camden Council has just spouted platitudes. Labour have been in power since 2010 and are blaming the Tories for the dire state of their housing. Meanwhile instead of getting the basics right they roll out vanity projects.

People are too ground down by years of austerity and not being heard. It's been exhausting for people. We thought getting rid of the Tories would help but it looks like more of the same but laced with meaningless platitudes.

Lord Alli seems to have an awful lot of spare money and properties. Give the pensioners back their winter fuel and hike his taxes instead? Who’s with me? #VoteBinface
