Donning a bright orange sleeveless outfit reminiscent of a building site hi-vis, Secretary of State, Angela Rayner, laid the blueprints for Britain’s “housing revolution” today in parliament’s last session before recess.

After offering condolences to the victims of the horrific Southport massacre, Rayner outlined the government’s draft policy to tackle Britain’s housing crisis.

Labour’s ambitions include building 370,000 new homes each year, reforming council housing targets, and enforcing new provisions to open up the metropolitan green belt.
