Labour is investing billions to tackle Britain's housing crisis, with a commitment to spend nearly £40 billion over the next decade on affordable homes. Housing Secretary Angela Rayner emphasized the importance of attracting housing associations to invest in social housing despite their financial pressures. She acknowledged doubts about meeting the ambitious goal of 1.5 million homes by the end of the parliament, a target described by experts as unrealistic. With many children in temporary accommodation, Rayner stressed the need for prioritizing social rents to alleviate the housing burden.
We know the only time that Britain has built at that sort of level is the post-second world war era and that was with massive amounts of social housing.
I'm prioritizing social rent... I've got 164,000 children in temporary accommodation. You can do the maths on that.
