Tories will react to Labour's rental proposals

The truth is that Ed Miliband's attack on landlords will be a vote winner. A shrewd political move that will help wake Generation Rent from their voting apathy. It will give them a reason to go to a Polling Station and rally behind Labour.

Expect a Tory reaction to Labour's astute political move. The Tories cannot afford to be seen as the landlord's friend. Their attitude toward us will need to be seen to harden. Whether that be increased regulation, tinkering with tenancy law or some other political retaliation, the Tories will have to be seen to beat us in some way.

Landlords have been thrown into a game of political kick about, and this will only end badly for us. Put on your head protection.
