It’s remarkably similar to an idea Ed Miliband had a few years ago.

Here’s how the Daily Mail reported it when it was the then Labour leader’s idea, as highlighted by @josh_salisbury on Twitter.

Stalinist! Confiscate! Backlash!

And here’s the Daily Mail today, reporting the same idea but now crediting it to the so-called prime minister instead.

Greedy property developers! Muscular government!

Nimbys!

And here they are again, side by side.

Latest in a long Daily Mail tradition of this sort of thing.
