Does Britain Need More Houses? A debate with Nick Bano

Does Britain Need More Houses? A debate with Nick Bano

Author: Michael Walker April 4, 2024 Duration: 1:05:43

In my first crossover episode with Novara FM I spoke to Nick Bano about his new book "Against Landlords". Nick also wrote a recent piece in the Guardian which caused controversy due to Nick's unusual claim that Britain doesn't need to build more houses. I fundamentally disagree with Nick on that point, hence this became a bit of a debate!
