The Minister is failing. There are rising house prices, rising rents, rising levels of homelessness and anaemic social and affordable housing delivery. Only a real alternative budget to deliver 20,000 genuine social and affordable homes will change the crisis. The Government promised it in the election, and it failed to deliver. That is why the Government is out of time and out of ideas. We need a general election, a change of Government and for the current Minister, just like at his press conference, to be evicted from the building to give people in housing need real hope.
