How will right to buy be paid for? BBC News
In 1980, Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher introduced “right to buy”, which allowed people who live in council homes to buy them. Last year, an extension of that scheme was announced by David Cameron, giving housing association tenants the chance to buy their home at a discount. But as the first properties are about to go under the hammer, questions are being raised as to where the money to pay for it is going to come from, as Lewis Goodall reports.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

The right to buy a council house was booming under Tatcher government. It looked like a good thing and it was for some tenants that got themselves a bargain. But the intention of Tatcher was really to get rid of council houses.😏To speed up the economy by privatisation.

Brandon Lewis! And all those hypocrites who actually thought this scheme “RightoBuy” was a good idea are all fools!!! They knew the damage they have caused and couldn’t face the media instead lying again and again! Cowards and hypocrites!!!!! Incompetent idiots the lot of them! This scheme was only aimed at the rich the poorer families had no chance of owing a home or living in a decent affordable home!! Thousands are suffering because of some fool’s incompetence!!!

The worst thing they ever did was the right to buy they should of just given the people some money to get out and buy . We are in a toatle mess in britain as the councils do not have any social housing to help people just because of the right to buy policy . The people who bought are happy but the rest have been left with poor housing .At the very least they should of put a clause in the house has to be sold back to the council if they want to leave at the price they paid.

People on this comment section really need to motivation in life! Right to Buy is a good thing, it lefts you buy ‘OWN’ a property you’ve lived in for a long time probably a house you’ve grown up in. It’s everyones right to own a house. Plus with that Equity you can do so much more, the bank will lend you money if you want a business, or buy another property if you got a bigger family.

People are going mad.In Asia the houses are still cheap.Food still cheap.We are lucky.In my country only the Chinese are greedy so they have to pay more for everything.It is always good not to be greedy.When you are greedy you find life will become very difficult and unhappy.Most of the Chinese elders are sent for care.,People don't be greedy.

Right to buy is a bad idea, there is now a shortage of social housing because of it. Now people have to rent expensive private homes

Some people find it more convenient to rent as against outright purchasing. There needs to be a market to enable people to rent per the private market and not be reliant upon local councils. Plenty of room at the inn for the next 'boatload', no doubt!

Modern people nowadays need to pay for expensive things, when they could live less demanding lives and build their own homes like old times.

Nice segment. The lack of affordable housing is becoming a global crisis, and not all people employed within the relevant government agencies have pure motives.
