The Daily Express has published a story warning that Labour’s flagship 1.5 million new homes pledge is unrealistic, as a slowdown in building, coupled with Rachel Reeves’ tax hikes, has pushed construction firms to the breaking point.
The story quotes CPA Chief Executive Officer Steve Mulholland who urges Labour not to ignore the firms supplying the machinery and equipment that make building possible. Without investment in the supply chain, those homes simply will not be built.
