Angela from Housing

[billysboy]

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

But we aren't talking about Tories cos they aren't in government. This thread is about Rayner/Labour so whataboutery isn't relevant

No they can’t. They can contribute to discussion and vote, but don’t have a majority so others would have to agree. Policy isn’t dictated by conference, though it does have an influence.

Ang from Housing will be judged in a couple of years on results.
However I believe we are heading into a recession, and if the government doesn’t come up with some more funding for the house building, she’ll fail by a good margin.
The government could equally reduce immigration to bare minimum and reduce some pressure that way.

We don't need more housing. We need less people.

If the population keeps growing at its expected rate, then living standards and quality of live will be horrific within a few decades.

Sorry OP, but your extension won’t help the housing targets.

Ps didn’t mean to quote a random post, but can’t see how to remove that bit.

And yet as is often pointed out by the Boomer haters on here, these £1million homes were inexpensive to buy compared to now.
Therefore older people owning these homes may well be living on a very small income and couldn't afford these taxes.

I think its very worrying that anyone wants to manipulate taxes to prevent the elderly from having a free choice over remaining in a home they've bought and paid for.
It's not up to the elderly to bear the brunt of successive government's lack of care or foresight regarding housing.

The tories started that system though

Well Portsmouth Council say they have no room to build the amount the govt was suggesting .Its a fairly small town, and is fairly compacted already.I think some other councils will have similar problems .Add the amount of Architects,Bricklayers ,Glaziers ,carpenters and painters/electricians /labourers the list is endless ! Its a plan which hasnt been thought out properly .We are a small island with a lot of housing being concentrated in the south east.I dont think he set Ms Rayner up to fail exactly .I think they say a large figure, and then do say half .Everyone will be pleased ,from the naysayers to the people who are in need of housing .I agree "Angela from housing"is sexist and patronising .She is an elected member of parliament FFS!

I'm experiencing second hand embarrassment for the op exhibiting such open and unashamed internalised misogyny 🤮

Have you got evidence of this? Political parties of all colours have always had donors

Given that the first two items on that list are clearly untrue I see no point in spending much more time on that article 😂

How much better off are people feeling since employer NI increases result in fewer job and lower pay rises, energy bills increasing by £300 (despite pre election statements that they’d cut them), council tax rises of up to 25% and inflation in retail, hospitality, manufacturing leading to price rises as a direct result of tax rises…

Some serious fact checking needed on that article!!

This. If Labour want to build 1.5 million homes they will have to build new hospitals, schools, GP surgeries etc as well.

This country will end up like a concrete jungle.

People seem to forget it was Tony Blair who originally wanted to privatise the NHS and it's still suffering as a result.

I get the impression that Angela is consciously keeping a low profile atm. I don't know if it's true but I wouldn't blame her.

The housing target is completely unattainable, as anyone involved in housing knows and I can't understand why governments and civil servants keep on ignoring this fact.

The volume house builders control the housing market in this country, they build as and when they want to to keep prices up and make the profits they deem necessary.

The social housing that we need most will not be built unless the government pays for it.

How much of that was caused by Liz Truss crashing the economy?

I’m surprised she actually answered and committed to a question
every interview I’ve seen she’s been asked a very direct question on housing , NI ,the fact there wasn’t a 22billion home and various other things she doesn’t give one straight answer it’s embarrassing

As opposed to Reeves crashing the economy?

None of them give straight answers. They just quote robotic scripted responses and get angry when pressed/challenged. The anger that comes off Reeves, Phillipson, Starmer + Rayner when challenged is ridiculous. They just aren't used to it and quite blatantly obviously believe that they shouldn't be held to account

Yes they can they just don't want to pay it.
For the record I am not a Labour supporter.

There are plenty of things you can criticise the Labour Party for at the moment without resorting to calling her Angela from Housing. It just devalues any point you might be trying to make.

The Tories were a car crash in slow motion.

This government is a train crash at high speed, breaking the speed of sound.

Two Tier, Rachel from accounts, Angela ‘oi scum’ Rayner, Bridget ‘a cv only her mother could employ’, David Lamey, Louise ‘phones4me’ Haigh, Red Miliband, Wes ‘all fur coat, no knickers’ Streeting, and some other clowns on the front bench.

They are clueless.

Has she?

I must have missed it, do you have the evidence to share?

They are used to being in Opposition and not being accountable. Now they are it's come as a big shock and has scrambled their tiny brains,

Are you serious?

Yes
