Backlash from councils over Angela Rayner's housing targets

The vast majority of councils in England believe housing targets are unrealistic, the BBC can reveal.

We know they are needed but I’d have thought building houses where they are needed would have been a reasonably sensible approach. Still I can’t help wondering if Is she being briefed against after Haigh.

Channel crossings under Starmer hit new milestone - as Labour vows to tackle migration

Labour will be publishing a migration plan this week but it will not include targets, a minister told Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips.

As ever, politicians of all colours talk a great game but they do not deliver.

3-4 months is nothing, judge them on migration numbers in a year. They have deported big numbers, They’re doing deals with France and Iraq and have arrested some high profile people smugglers. All better than the Rwanda gimmick.

Funnily enough, everyone thinks house prices and rents are too high, but no one wants more houses built near them as 'they won't be for our people, but for those who've come over on boats'. I wish I had a tenner for every time I've heard that.

However, what makes it impossible to deliver the targets - whether you think them a Good Thing or not - is a serious shortage of building tradespeople, made worse by Brexit. Do you see any sign of a programme to train (many) more? No, and nor do I.

Anyway, I'm OK, I've got a house so fuck those who need one. They're all immigrants anyway, because apparently no native Brits want one. They'll just have to carry on paying 50% of their income in rent and not ask for any increase in pay. Because that would be bolshie and 'holding the country to ransom'. Can't have that.

No, but it’s hypocritical.

Haigh resigned her position for it, even though she was given a conditional discharge.

One seems to be an oversight and the other a targeted attack, but yeah, they’re both the same.

Haigh has continued to lie about the circumstances around her conviction, which if we’re being honest looks like a completely fabricated incident, concocted so she could receive the latest version of iPhone from her company.

And she was sacked; the resignation was just a bit of political theatre.

I’d trust Guido Falkes to be a better source than you.

I agree you can’t judge them yet.

But I bet things are just as bad if not worse this time next year.

I for one am heartily sick of these rubber dinghy immigrants.

They’ve a problem here as what they say on a national level is the opposite to what local councillors will say to their constituents, such is the voice of the nimby!

Why ? Have you met one, what did they do to you.
