More social housing needed!
All new houses to be properly insulated!
All old homes to be properly insulated!
And so on.
Labour just doesn't understand how to make homes safe and comfortable.

Labour's simplemindedness will be its downfall - and ours. You can't build and bulldoze your way out of the housing crisis. Unless you also change the system, you'll still leave millions without decent homes. My column today explains why.

Agree with you on affordable. We need more social rent (where rent is fixed) & discounted intermediate homes for sale (% under market value for life of house).
Plus tons more social housing.
Crisis is supply & demand

The new homes bit is relatively easy, just bump up the B Regs standard.
Retrofitting older stock is more of a problem. The PRS has to be the priority.
Anything to do with insulation make zero VAT. It’s frustrating that it’s only zero rated when installed
