Angela Rayner plan to get tough on developers as Labour pledges to give local authorities greater powers to negotiate with property firms.
Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner has said her “number one focus” in government would be to unlock more affordable homes with a plan to get tough on developers.
“If I get into government, if we’re fortunate enough that the British people give us that opportunity, then my number one focus is to deliver on, making sure we’ve got those houses for the future.” Meanwhile, shadow health secretary Wes Streeting pledges to double the number of CT and MRI scanners in hospitals as part of a bid to cut NHS waiting times.
Party leader Sir Keir Starmer will head to the annual gathering buoyed by a comfortable lead in the polls and a resounding by-election victory over the SNP in Scotland’s Rutherglen and Hamilton West seat. The gathering follows the Conservatives’ conference in Manchester, which was overshadowed by the fate of HS2.
