Labour to build more state houses

[Oh_hunnihunni]

The population has increased. People got older and need their own homes. Property values have skyrocketed, so many can now not afford to buy. Rents are through the roof, and social housing is now more available - so people apply. Used to be that was a pointless exercise, under this government hope returned that folk might get a place. So waiting lists went up. Migrants arrived, and applied for housing. Demand increased faster than new homes could be built...

And yes, thousands HAVE been built. Credit where that is due.

It isn't government failure. It is the market doing what the market does.

You think this is bad? Wait till we start to see climate change refugees...
