    As much as I agree with much of the opinion in the article that kids needs housing, I cannot see Labour fulfilling that void in the short term. Supply of materials and skill base is an issue. A lot of our builders went back to the EU. Our supply of building materials comes from the EU, which in turn is very restricted. There will be no quick fixes when it comes to house building.

      True that it won’t be a quick fix, but at least Keir Starmer seems to want to mend our relationship with the EU, while the Tories are still stuck in deep denial.

      Perhaps we could train our own workforce instead of relying on brain draining other poorer countries

        100% agree. We should also be looking at removing those student fees. Kids have a hard enough time as it is.
