‘Too ambitious!’ Construction works reject Labour’s housing target

Construction workers have rejected Angela Rayner’s “ambitious goal” to build 1.5 million new homes in the next five years, in another blow to Labour.

This comes after the deputy Prime Minister insisted last week there was “no excuse” not to meet the target, and Starmer doubled down on the pledge, committing to create a generation of new towns with construction beginning before the 2029 election.
