Desperately trying to cover their arses. They know they're complicit, and that means legally too.

For those wondering why Labour are so openly enabling Reform... It is because they intend to build them up into a viable threat so they can use it against us at the next election. 'Vote for us or else!'
They, and the media lackies, will assure us it is 'the most important election of our lifetime'.

Then when it inevitably fails, as it always does, they will blame us for not voting for 'them'.
Whilst it might seem extraordinary that they would play so fast and loose with our lives, wellbeing, and society like this, rest assured - they don't care.
They are also very politically stupid.

They should be looking at community house building... more effective and more connected than state controlled. And then the next govt can't just take it all back and undo all the hard work again.

In Uruguay, families co-own and co-build their homes through housing cooperatives. Some chip in savings, others swing hammers.

The result? Affordable, dignified housing that stays off the private market, and a blueprint the world can learn from.
