Labour can’t solve housing crisis without also getting a grip on our borders

A Grey area

LABOUR’S plan to turbo-charge house building from day one is badly needed.

Sir Keir Starmer says his idea to turn one per cent of Green Belt land into so-called “Grey Belt” for construction could be enough for 738,000 new homes.

That sounds like a lot.

But net migration running at over 745,000 a YEAR spells out the scale of the housing crisis.
