Theresa May should focus on the dire shortage of affordable homes for millennials

Focus on homes

THE university funding system is broken — but it is nowhere near a priority for Britain, Theresa May or the Tories.

We agree some fees should be slashed and interest rates cut. We agree many courses are pointless and more school leavers should train for work instead.

We agree that the system is right in principle. That it has increased the number of working-class kids studying and relieved an already hard-up public of the extra taxes otherwise needed.

But Mrs May is merely tinkering in the vain hope of competing with Corbyn’s economically insane free-for-all offer.

She cannot and must not. It’s a distraction from what really matters to millennials: the dire shortage of affordable homes to buy.

That’s why so many under-45s, not just students, back Labour.

The Tories must tackle suffocating planning rules, sluggish developers and NIMBYs ­preventing houses being built.

Fix those, PM. If you cannot get this generation on the property ladder, they could bulldoze you.

We spy panic

YOU can tell from the rabid rage of Corbyn fans and frontbenchers that our Agent Cob spy scandal has touched a nerve.

It’s partly that the cult tolerates no criticism of Saint Jez. It’s also that, while they are too ignorant to see a problem with backing the Soviet slaughter machine against the liberal, democratic West during the Cold War, they know voters may not be.

So, despite our documentary evidence, they pretend our story is “lies” (while giving Corbyn a free pass to lie about taking money from Iran or supporting IRA terrorists “in the cause of peace”).

More sinisterly, they claim The Sun is stirring up hatred against Corbyn by publishing legitimate stories about his past — and they are vowing revenge.

It is a genuine threat. A hard-left Government would not hesitate to shut down news organisations they dislike.

Like the totalitarian regimes they idolise, they would seek to control every aspect of your life, even down to the news they will allow you to read.

Don’t say you weren’t warned . . . Corbyn’s thugs are openly warning you.

City’s asleep

THE complacency among some City chiefs about the catastrophic impact on them of a hard-left Government is off the scale.

Maybe the Shadow Chancellor will now have woken them up.

John McDonnell says he would renationalise PFI firms and almost certainly pay zero compensation to the pensioners and others invested in them.

Factor in the huge corporation tax rises in Corbyn’s manifesto and the City can come to only one conclusion:

These are extremists who want a war on business and investors. Time to wake up.
