CLAUDIA WEBBE argues that Burnham’s U-turn on tackling greedy landlords has let the country down
IF you want to know why Labour will struggle with their housing promises, it’s worth taking a look at the annual accounts of Taylor Wimpey.
Labour says it will “get Britain building again” and will “deliver affordable housing.” But it won’t do it by the traditional Labour method of building more council houses. Instead, it hopes to cajole the private housebuilders to build more houses.
Labour hopes the extra supply will lower house prices, and this might filter down to lower rents — and that it can do side deals with the private housebuilders to include some social housing in their developments.
