How members of Sir Keir Starmer’s cabinet have housing targets SLASHED.
Leading members of the Cabinet have had housing targets slashed in their own constituencies, despite a Government push to build hundreds of thousands of new homes in the rest of the country.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner told MPs this week that ‘we must all play our part’ in tackling the housing crisis, as she published new mandatory targets which will see housebuilding rise sevenfold in some areas.
Critics have warned that the targets, produced by a controversial computer algorithm, will lead to a public backlash in communities forced to take many more homes than they can cope with.
But analysis of the new figures reveals that many leading members of the Cabinet will have housing targets cut in their own constituencies.
