Why even bother making these targets anyway at this point? They literally are never hit, but they never get punished for it by their voter base. May as well just be honest about targets and actually avoid the inevitable headlines about missing them.

>7,871 new-build social homes constructed in 2024.
>The total of affordable new builds, including first home, was 4,603.
So we are building way more social houses than “affordable” ones?? I’m speachless

They are not even building the ones they get. They buy most from private builders. So we have to compete with our own tax.
It’s a disgrace, one day this corporate tax windfall will end and we have squandered it all.

Article doesn’t mention how much they cost either.
Government definition of affordable is very different to someone on average industrial wage

Get a job to buy a house.
Pay tax on the money you earn.
Go to buy a house.
You can’t buy a house because the tax money you paid is being used to buy the house you want for somebody else who does not pay tax.
Keep working anyway.

They don’t care, and the truth is the majority of the electorate don’t care.
Since the election, they don’t even pretend to care.
The only issue that will remove this government is immigration

The worst part of all this is there will be no repercussions their voters simply don’t care so it looks like this is it for the foreseeable.
