Building private housing that lots of people are still not going to be able to afford is not going to solve the housing crisis which began when Thatcher stuck her nose in
Blair was the head of your beloved Labour Party.

Labour built a third of the number of affordable houses that the previous Conservative Government did.

There were over 420,000 less social housing dwellings in the country after Blair / Brown were ejected from office, than there were when they took up tenure.

Building of affordable housing is now close to 50,000 dwellings per year - double that achieved on an annual basis in the Blair / Brown years.
