Angela Rayner emphasized the Labour Party's commitment to social housing, asserting that failing to address the housing crisis would signify abandoning their moral mission as a government.
At a recent event, Rayner stated, 'Unless we address the social and council housing problem in this country, then we're really not going to get to the root problem of the housing crisis for everybody,' highlighting the urgency of the situation.
Rayner expressed hope that the upcoming spending review will reflect Labour's seriousness, stating, 'It's a moral mission for our government, and if it wasn't, then what's Labour for if we're not building safe and secure homes that people need?'
Experts suggest that Labour's ambitions to build 1.5 million new homes require addressing financial and logistical challenges, warning that current planning approval rates are at a historic low.
