Feedback - Land for the Many

The response to the bold ideas in Land for the Many has been fantastic. At its heart this report is about transparency and democracy, as well as fairness. Let’s carry on this vital conversation.

Land is possibly the least discussed issue in British politics, yet re-imagining how we use it could change our lives. Great report for @UKLabour by @GeorgeMonbiot and others:https://t.co/nVCGfHmsyp

I know today is ‘dump-a-trump’ day but this is a really bloody great report and badly needed. Well done to the authors! https://t.co/ecwsaXusyo

The new @UKLabour land report by @GeorgeMonbiot & others has @Telegraph @DailyMailUK & @Daily_Express frothing at the mouth at the supposedly Venezuela-style policies. But these ideas are so reasonable and mainstream that even @TheIFS & @Civitas_UK back many of them

Lots of game-changing ideas in @GeorgeMonbiot and others' report on land.

This debate is central to tackling inequality in Britain and fixing the housing crisis.

The role of land in the economy has been ignored for too long. Well done @UKLabour for getting this brilliant set of heads together to explain why its time to fix our broken land economy @guyshrubsole @GeorgeMonbiot @beth_stratford @rgrey @tomekenny @darkgreener #LandForTheMany https://t.co/sBtQx8qzqk

I am so glad of the existence of this report. Inequality and injustice starts around land ownership in this country: https://t.co/eijX0Q0z1t

It's incredible how these proposals – taxing land owned through offshore tax havens, taxing owners of empty homes and investment portfolios – are being misrepresented as "Corbyn's annexing your garden!"

These recommendations only spook the super-rich.https://t.co/E0UHFLGlr8
