What will actually happen: £££ is allocated for housing "on paper", the houses won't get built, money gets quietly "returned" to the Exchequer (not that it really existed in the first place.)

It's one thing to announce a desire to build houses but if there isn't any capacity to build how is it going to get done?

destroying the countryside one housing estate at a time whilst screwing us out of every penny they can grab "to save the planet". Evil or Very Mad

They will, but not for "us" !


A majority of new builds around us (like an hour away as we are middle of nowhere) have been council homes and the occasional private homeowners.

Presumably you are a boat person mindset. Not everyone gets handouts. They don't all get a free house.

72% of Somalis live in social housing compared to the average of 16% for the UK population overall. You wanna go down this road?

No government would survive if it left immigrant families sleep rough on the streets. Babies starving and freezing to death etc. Whatever the governments true motivations they cant escape those optics.

So the optics of armed forces veterans sleeping rough is acceptable?

Labour has said they are going to stop paying hotel owners to house migrants soon so where do you think all those people are going to go? As someone else already said, The Govt won't just forget about all these illegals and let them live on the streets with no support. There's not enough detention centres to put them in and even if there was the illegals would complain and the Human Rights Lawyers would kick off again so it's obvious they will all go in to nice free social housing when the hotels stop getting paid.

Even if suitable sites were just waiting about ready for imaginary builders to move in, hardly anything will even start to happen for at least a year.
In reality the materials required are not available and importing skilled trades from 3rd world countries(?) and getting them up to speed with our HSE and everything else is hilariously impractical.

Not to me it isn't.

The government have said they've got plans to end the use of hotels to hold asylum seekers by 2029 and that hotels will be phased out by cutting small boat crossings and building new government-owned accommodation for asylum seekers.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8xgzprn1vjo

It sounds like if / when the number of small boat crossings isn't cut sufficiently and if / when there hasn't been enough government owned accommodation for asylum seekers built then that means it won't be possible to stop using hotels to hold asylum seekers.

Credit where it's due; The Government are decriminalising rough sleeping so the homeless vets will have one thing less to worry about:-
Angela Rayner throws homeless peeps a lifeline so that they can at least sleep soundly in their cardboard boxes...

I dont believe anything any political party says anymore. None of them are actually in charge of anything. They're just the 'face'.

If San Francisco and LA look like this:

Our politicians be like:

Politicians only do things that benefit the people they represent, not the electorate.

I don't believe the government has any control over house building, if they do how does it work?

Building companies only build where they can maximise profits, so if the local council is putting too much pressure on them to create too many 'social houses' or too much infrastructure (extra roads and/or community buidings) for the project they will just sit on it, and build where there are less demands and more profit.

So, are we saying the government are subsidising the building companies, to offset the demands the local council commitees are imposing?
