He's not. They have been making promises of building homes for a very long time.

As for re-building, we have a huge amount of brown space in the UK but building gets hampered by homeowners constantly rallying the troops to fight against planning permission. My parents recently told us they couldn't come round for lunch because they were going to a council meeting to fight a planning application. It turned out that planning application was over a mile away from where they live and f all to do with them.

London suffers from lack of space but there are masses of empty properties in London and there are masses of empty properties up and down the UK. All the good areas of London are mainly Suadi, China and Russian owned investments that sit empty.

There's a lot we can do to provide housing. We do have space, we do have available brown land that isn't being used but we do need money to come out of London and injected into northern areas and that isn't happening.
