Ainu to think Angela Rayners has been set up to fail on her 1.5m homes target ?
you can barely get planning permission through for a small extension in under 10 weeks let alone 1.5 m new homes
Every month that goes by the shortage compounds
I wonder if Kier has set her up to fail

'Angela from housing' FFS.

Have a word with yourself OP.

Of course he has. She will be the fall guy. She’s a bit like Harris who was put in charge of the US border, when her handlers knew she had neither the intelligence, nor the political ability to get something like that done. Rayner is in same league.

Two Tier has his favourites. Rachel from accounts and Red Miliband. The former trashes the economy to give billions to the latter to piss up the wall. And the country just plunges deeper into oblivion.

Buckle up everyone. It’s gonna be a rough ride.

YABU to recycle a snarky little insult used to belittle one woman so that you can belittle another.

This.

Also, she isn't "Angela from Housing" - she's the deputy PM and calling her that nickname is quite misogynistic.

I just came to say the same thing.

Nasty title, designed to minimise her position.

She’s set herself up.
There’s nothing about Angela Rayner that could be manipulated.

She is expediting the planning process for new builds. They won't be put into the same category as extensions. So likely extensions pp will mow take longer.

I don't see what the issue is - she has the power to remove the barriers to pp being granted, and the powers to offer grants and incentives to house building companies.
