HOUSING is one of the key issues that affects us all, and one of the main challenges facing the Government today. As Housing Minister, two of my top priorities are to address the severe shortage of housing we face in this country, and taking action to confront climate change. Eco-towns – an issue that I know has sparked a lot of debate on these pages in recent weeks – are a unique opportunity to do both. Read more of this blah blah blah here...
Sorry Caroline...
Your (UN-ELECTED) boss - Gordon Brown Trousers, often refers back to the Tory dark ages... So can I refer back to when Tony Blair famously pledged to "halve child poverty by 2010", it was one of the most moving and inspiring commitments made in the optimistic days after 1997.
Despite one of the biggest economic booms this country and the global economy has ever seen in the last 11 years, Labour have failed to provide social and affordable housing. The issue of UK poverty has now been abandoned by Labour and the question is, does Caroline Flint care more about property developers than those in poverty?
