A leaked memo, a Maga-style hat and a trail of broken pledges – it’s Labour’s great housing betrayal | Aditya Chakrabortty Ignore the bombast: Steve ‘build, baby, build’ Reed’s boast looks likely to end in targets more pathetic than they are now, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

Leaked memo :

‘watering down builders’ commitments to provide affordable & social housing’

“This is rolling over for developers.”

‘groups representing ordinary tenants, & even London councils, do not seem to have been involved at all.’

With fewer people returning to offices, the UK needs bold action. Adapting unused commercial spaces into homes is a logical and sustainable solution. Would you like to know more about how this works? Send me a DM. #UKhousingcrisis #realestatedevelopment #realestate #development #transformations

Boomers 'benefited', but their kids/grandkids now can't afford to rent or buy.

Seriously, though, where would people suggest building much-needed #AffordableHomes takes place, then?

Any suggestions where in Britain the building of much-needed #AffordableHomes might be built, which doesn't have ANY wildlife that must be protected?
Serious question.

If so, please pass the information on to the government with full details.
Thanks,
