Private developers have no interest in (and are incapable of) building the homes we need. Unless Labour put serious money into a council house acquisition/retrofit/build programme, they will utterly fail to address the housing emergency.
136 “evacuation threats” for over 205 buildings, have targeted residential and commercial urban neighborhoods since the 27th of September 2024.
Today alone, 11 new orders were issued, targeting 11 buildings.

If it talks like a settler colonial project to displace a people, and bombs like a settler colonial project to displace a people, Western media will keep calling it a war of self defence by a normal country facing terrorism - the radicalising question is, "why?"
Astonishing research which shows UK housebuilders have funnelled vast amounts of cash to shareholders in recent years
