In this episode, Jessica Levy, Public Affairs Manager at the National Housing Federation talks about what the election of Boris Johnson as the new Conservative Party Leader and Britain's next Prime Minister means for housing associations.

At one point Jessica says Boris 'made an annoucnement during the campaign to cut stamp duty on all homes worth over £500,000...' This was  meant to be 'worth *less* than £500,000'
