ANGELA Rayner yesterday struggled to explain how Labour’s housing plans will cope with the 2.5 million migrants expected to arrive in Britain.
The Deputy PM contradicted herself when grilled on how her pledge to build 1.5 million homes would address both the housing crisis and record immigration levels.
She told Sky News there is “plenty of housing” already – despite Labour’s repeated warnings about shortages.
Presenter Sir Trevor Phillips challenged her claim, insisting it didn’t make any “sense”.
But she doubled down, adding: “There is plenty of housing Trevor, but there’s not enough for the people who desperately need it.
“So the homes, especially under our social affordable housing, they will be there for people who desperately need them.”
Her comments come as Labour will this week unveil detailed plans for mandatory house-building targets in every area of England and Wales.
Ms Rayner, who is also the Housing Secretary, will also set out where councils can build on underused “grey belt” land in the green belt while prioritising brownfield sites.
