- Housing minister Matthew Pennycook admitted that the government's goal of building 1.5 million homes this parliament is a "very stretching target".
Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the plans earlier this week, saying that Labour will create a new taskforce "to accelerate stalled housing sites in our country".

So where is all the infrastructure for these homes? More sound bites .
About to be built by the fully trained net 700,000 new immigrants, hoards of doctors and nurses so NHS is sorted, tradespersons who previously built houses nothing like ours but as long as house buyers and renters don't mind houses not up to uk standard it's a non issue. Net zero is only costing 100bil, but as a bonus will make zero impact as the big polluters are increasing fossil fuel power plants, so as long as we are net zero just stop oil will let traffic flow again. Just stop oil can find jobs in green power, or travel to China, Russia, India, South America, and convince these countries that pollute 80% of the carbon globally that the UK who were adding a whopping 2% is the way forward.
they'll be built on the green belt probably with not so much as a bus route into town lol

@@fredmercury1314 It's a mystery. Climate change perhaps
I remember buying 1 tonne of sand for £4 and then it went up to £20 after the EU sand tax. They said it was to protect the Earth but after the sand pit closed it turned into a natural reserve.
And still we have open borders.
Build council homes and keep the councils as landlords at lower rents.
For who?
Prefabs
A different government same old bs.
wow good for u have brain and u use it compare the rest who comment here
LIEBOUR!
Yawn
😂Its absolutely a fantasy. Labours target will over promise & under deliver.A party who put illegal migration over its citizens.
More Reform Rhetoric
Let's hope they prioritise UK Veterans and homeless before ANY immigrants legal or not.
He has already said he would not support Veterans in Northern Ireland and he has sided with SF.
Optimist
We know it won't, it will all be foreigners and illegals.
This is the man who tried to stop 1500 houses being built in his area, Hypocrite
More infinite migration for an already broken country
Starting to be more and more convinced rebellion will be the only way in the end to stop it. This is all gonna get messy. Give it 15 more years of thus and it going to be inevitable.
Who are these homes for the boat men??
The tory hotels
@@stephenford2758so we all agree we hate the leftist Tories and the further left Labour??
They have taken 70% of the rental properties in my area.
LABOUR ARE QUITE DETERMINED TO 'HOUSE AND TO FUND' FOR LIFE EVERY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, ALL THAT THEY ASK OF THEM IS THAT THEY ~~~ BREED AND MULTIPLY.
And vote Labour
They have to do something about immigration , there are British subject on the street homeless this is our country after all , help ours first .
Labour.
No chance.
My question would be; 'who are these homes for?'
dogs and cats
immigrants
I quite agree.
Migrants of course. Def not for our own homeless.
All those young people who desparately need homes and currently living with parents.
Bit pointless building 1.5 million houses in 5 years if we have immigration coming in that is the population of Birmingham every year.
Ain't going to happen. Not enough builders, expensive materials and land. Builders won't do any work on the cheap and will expect a good profit.
That would be to ignore the last five years of gov. funded migration.
@@matthewharding-ew1ts hopefully it won't happen...
Labour has promised to plant more money trees
"not enough builders"? That's fine, we can train more builders and import the rest. Where there's a will there's a way. The more we build, the cheaper the costs. What's more important is that we build responsibly and carefully.
Lots of houses built on fields near here, not one of them really affordable. Bought by people who already have houses elsewhere. Need to build for first time buyers and renters and provide proper infrastructure and services. Wont be cheap. Could start by banning second homes until everyone has one.
Don't forget the illegal immigrants will be getting the new social houses
Fake News Any gorvernment data showing ur claim is true ? Its Farage BS just like brexit that NHS money is going to EU
Labour have said they are not building any new council homes. Keep up.
Don't forget the NET 750,000 legal migrants that move to the UK every year. At the present rate migration the UK will jump from a population of 70 million to 90 million over the next 20 years. The UK is the 4th most populated country in the world.
No they won't.
_The legal immigrants will._
@@drewhodge3820 And to think, in the 60's the Tories called this a "cramped island" and in the 1964 Labour manifesto, Labour said they would reduce migration because of problems of integration.
And in 1963 there were only 50,000 immigrants...
WEF MIGRATION POLICIES
New housing but not near the houses of Labour politicians
Near Tories is what I've heard
I hope the broadband speeds are acceptable for our new African homeowners.

@@kamilcopak8598 Again?
Why am I not surprised...
They are only interested in housing the boatmen before anyone else.
And where is the evidence for that? Trusted sources only please?
Labour won't hit this target, especially with the advice of Champgne Socialist Tony Blair.
Champagne socialism is an aspiration - not something to be sniffed at.
Concrete...more concrete!!
Where is the plan to stop the boats
😂 it’s Labour
Why was social housing sold 30/40 years ago with zero plan to replace the houses sold?
I hope these private builders and councils will be carefully considering the flooding problem around the country and putting in drainage that is fit for purpose. Not just building on any old piece of land.

@@_Too_Late about says it all really...country gone down the plughole
Oh yes, looking at much bigger countries to come up with a ratio figure! Dumb......or as usual, an over inflated view of how big we are as a country compared to others! We have migration in and emigration out, sadly those leaving are, in too many cases, the doctors and nurses we need to serve the NHS. Therefore we have to employ migrants with visas to do those roles instead, along wwith the ones our own population cannot or won't do, like Care Staff. It's not that difficult to understand. As for housing, how about blaming the person and government who started the rot in our Housing Policy.....Margaret Thatcher! Forcing councils to sell their social housing stock off at rock bottom prices, and then preventing councils from using those receipts to build more social housing. Whoever thought that was a good idea? Not many, except those who made big fat profits. 😡
@@jeangenie5807 France isn't much bigger than than the UK. It's an equivalent size and a close European neighbour. But hey lets cover England's green & pleasant land with an infinite number of ugly concrete blocks to house the third world on this northern European Island and make it a worse place to live with each passing year. Good job
@@jeangenie5807 Population density has nothing to do with how big a country is, only how crowded it is, and Britain was obviously in a far better state when Margret Thatcher left office, and when John Major left office, than today - largely thanks to your polices of open borders, infinite government borrowing, and building cramped & overpriced shitholes on England's green land
@@jeangenie5807 "looking at much bigger countries to come up with a ratio figure"
That's how ratios work. France has about the same population size as the UK, in a country that's 2.3x larger.
The point is _we're full._
Homes for the sh!t that washes up on the shore
To whom will those houses go to??? Same way as all the rental houses have been handed out?? How much green belt land lost? how many of Britain's beautiful towns and villages we be destroyed?
That's all very melodramatic.
Let's take a ride , run with the dogs tonight

I've not heard about the hospital rebuild programme that the tories initiated. Is Reeves going to can that and then blame the Tories later.? There are two big projects near me underway will they continue?
Like the 40 new hospitals that Johnson lied about.
@@T5Zplayer No one's heard about it. No one.
Небензя об ударе по детской больнице в Киеве на заседании Совбеза ООН
Wes Streeting has said the programme will continue. But we already know the construction industry doesn't have the resources to deliver the programme. Likewise the housing targets. It's all political posturing and nonsense spoken by politicians who know nothing about what they are talking about.
Simply will not work.
Unaffordable housing for hardworking people
Force landlords to sell properties or evict tenants and push up rents, the same we it happened in Scotland and Ireland when they put rental caps in place. Its already a failed policy inside the UK. So why would Anyone with an ounce of common sense think the same policy will work in England or Wales? Its more of the same stupid Labour policies.
they do have to build a heck of a lot of homes.. otherwise only rich people will be able to afford any kind of land or property. Almost looks deliberate.
R I p to leveling up?? it never started in the first place
Make it easier for single people to get places.
Move in with a friend.
@@fredmercury1314 shouldn’t have to if a guy/girl wants to live alone it should be affordable to do so..
There is not a housing problem. There is a population growth problem. The UK is the third most densely populated country in the world !!!
Planning capacity has been stretched at best before covid let alone now. People will always complain when it is being built in their area. Standard complaints of roads services etc. Sensible detailed plans considering and rectifying/appeasing these issues should not take the time it does currently. It affects people wanting to own a house, our economy and the growth of the UK. New build prs & so benifits us all. Faster planning = reduced builder cost so more brownfield/ regeneration schemes are financially viable.
Tbh that's a sensible comment !
I agree, it takes too long, and the knock on effect
Wheres the apprenticeship/training.Construction is a hard career the soft Gen Z want to do very little. 😂😂
its okay to talk about the supply of housing but never the demand for housing
Its not very green to build that many houses. It will produce millions of tonnes of CO2.
Labour's building programme will see huge swathes of our countryside, food production land and habitat concreted over by major corporations (how much do they give to Labour in donations?) with their poorly built, ticky tacky houses. This will increase our carbon emissions (when we are going net zero), we will have to import more food, water attenuation issues, more land fills and reservoirs will be needed, more pressure on local infrastructure, more light pollution etc. etc. The agricultural value of the land needs to be considered before being built on. If Covid19 has taught us anything, it is the need for food security, for now and future generations. Is there an end in site, a plan, or is it just build, build build? When the main stream media, greens and left, all obsessed with oil, finally wake up to this environmental damage, it will be too late.
Unless Labour builds council homes for homeless citizens and for housing citizens on council's waiting lists - Labour's housing goal will end into garbage bins.
They need to understand fact that majority of citizens desperately needing homes can't afford to buy homes.
If Starmer said, his duty will be to serve citizens as leader of UK, he should first house citizens, not migrants been piled up in UK waiting to be assessed - like Tories did.
Ambitious is an understatement of the year!!! 2.5 million extra people in the last 2 years. We need to house all of these people and 1 million of our own natives. Where are they going to get the trillions of pounds needed.
why do we need to house them?
@@stleonards1066 Because they said we do.
And we don't get a say.
There are so many empty buildings that could be renovated and made into apartments. The empty buildings cost money....not everything has to be "new build".
We need hospitals and prisons and schools
10 million entered the country. Now we have to build houses for them. Meanwhile, another 10 million are entering the country...
300,000 isn't enough anyway.
Won't happen, another broken promise.
Where's the reports on growing decent against Keir after his skynews interview on Sunday? Pretty short honeymoon period 😂
Anyone who believes what Labour saying are idiots. This is going to be about what they want, not what the country wants. He's heading towards the shortest reign in Parliament, hasn't even been in two weeks.
After 8 days in power they are about 9000 houses behind schedule. File this pipe dream under things that won't happen.
New housing but not for working class Brits.
I do not know what Labour are talking about in my area alone 5 new housing estates have been built with more than 500 houses per area. House building as never stopped. And its been done on Greenbelt land by a Labour council. And none under 250K
If there was less immigration there would be less need for more house.
Pie in the sky.
Good luck to u all time to do for the people xx 💙🏴🇬🇧
if goals were easy then they wouldnt be goals ofc its going to be hard to even achieve
🥱🥱🥱
I think what Pennycook (my local MP) is trying to say is that the Labour Party policy is not worth the paper it is written on and will not be enacted.
More Conservative get rich policies !!!
Yet they trust the private sector to do it all for them as usual!
Councils do not have their own construction departments like back in the 1960s. So, who else is going to build them? Any suggestions?
@@ohdearismcouncils are inept.
I’m a developer and we always have the upper hand.
Even when councils do employ, the wage is less than half the private sector so they employ idiots.
@@user-ug8wx5er1w In general, the public sector is inefficient. It doesn't have the resources of the private sector but employees do have better employment rights, pensions, job security etc.
If Blair hadn’t opened the doors to all and sundry and if the Conservatives had had the balls to control it back to the sensible numbers it was post war all the way through to the turn of this century we wouldn’t have the population crisis we’ve got and the need for building countless more homes would be redundant. Labour will concrete over our beautiful green countryside and we will end up with cheap unsightly social housing estates. This country is finished. Immigration both legal and illegal will continue to get worse under this lot! Unfortunately a large portion of this country have been brainwashed and have been manipulated into believing capitalism is the big bad wolf and it’s what’s stopping them from getting a home etc. They believe that Labour is the answer to all their prayers! In fact the opposite is true. Labour wants to INCREASE immigration (MORE people competing for the limited supply of housing), continuing to drive down wages…. Become an even bigger state employer… who’s going to generate the wealth? This government will be just s unpopular as the previous Conservative government within no time! I give it less than two years

The new development im buying a house in had to tell me this week that extra plots have been giving to social housing.
So private housing is taken from us snd giving to the migrants.
