Ed Miliband has been getting even more animated than normal over the capital's so-called 'ghost homes', accusing many boroughs of “shrugging their shoulders" by not imposing the Empty Homes Premium.

BoJo has called for London councils to 'whack up' taxes on empty homes by a whopping 1000% in a bid to address the capital's housing shortage.

The government's target of building 200,000 new homes every year is nuts, according a new report on housebuilding from Knight Frank.
