In this unfiltered clash of ideologies, property investor Samuel Leeds sits down with young socialist activist Oliver to debate one of Britain’s most pressing issues: the housing crisis. From rent controls and council housing to landlord profits and government regulation, this conversation pulls no punches.
Oliver makes the case for rent caps, tenant protections, and rebuilding the UK’s social housing system. He calls for stronger enforcement, more accountability, and ethical transformation in the rental market. Samuel pushes back with a defence of entrepreneurial responsibility, voluntary ethics, and a belief in the free market’s ability to self-regulate - if landlords act wisely.
🔑 KEY TOPICS COVERED:
• What rent control really means — and why some believe it's necessary to stop exploitation.
• The impact of interest rates, taxation (Section 24) and mortgage costs on rental pricing.
• Whether it’s immoral for landlords to profit from tenants, or if it's just basic economics.
• The difference between private landlords vs. government housing — and who actually serves tenants best.
