      Very few trust the uniparty anymore. They get caught in a web of lies time and again

      >Support for infrastructure development significantly outperformed support for housing (48 per cent compared to 37 per cent), while 44 per cent of adults said that building infrastructure before adding housing would increase public trust and support in Labour’s construction plans.

      >…

      >The contrast between infrastructure and housing support is particularly apparent in local areas, where house building was only supported by 7 per cent of people if it took place in their local area, compared to 42 per cent support for local infrastructure investment

      I’d be surprised if it was anything different.

      “Would you rather have a new school, GP, Leisure Centre or a park, or would you rather have new development of 600 homes and none of the former things?”

      Who would trust liebour they have lied and lied over and over again

    4. Everyone and their dog knows Labour wont meet their building targets when the builders and skilled Labour we need to build said houses don’t exist.

    5. Salaried_Zebra on

      It wouldn’t matter which party pledged this. None would meet it because none have been trying to meet it for decades.

      They’ll say “we haven’t any builders” but won’t train any, or set up some sort of cadre of tradies to do the work, give some competition to the likes of persimmon et al who don’t have any incentive to build except at a pace that manufactures scarcity.

      They won’t change the planning rules enough to stop someone saying that there might be a crested newt that might see the development from its swamp blocking the development and keeping delaying stuff for years.

      They won’t rip down shitty old buildings fast enough, and god forbid someone want to insulate and use that old building. Stuffy arseholes would sooner see the building fall down than let someone restore and use it.

      Genuinely astonishing that a third of people actually think we will hit those targets

    7. HomeworkInevitable99 on

      Nobody cared when the Tories missed their housing target every year, but labour are criticised already.

      And Farage is making promises without doing the work.

      Only labour are actually doing it . If labour only build half their target, they will have beaten the Tories.

      We shouldn’t need 1.5 million homes but we do because of mass immigration and are still catching up. We need to stop all immigration. Let housing, economy and NHS catch up to the excess numbers while we get rid of the illegal immigrants and have some emigration for a while. Then we won’t need to build 1.5 million homes just to catch up anymore. But this is a radical far right position so all we can do is build homes that are out of most people’s league anyways just to keep up with the numbers of people coming into the country…

      We need to focus on emigration remigration whatever you want to call it and infrastructure projects. If we get infrastructure projects going that don’t take 10 year then housing will naturally follow.

      The only thing that will shift opinion on this are action and results, not headlines, not slogans, not flinging out the loser PR spokesperson to take the heat and whatever other utterly stale nonsense the PR firm they have on retainer says to do instead.

      After a year we really should have seen a much larger investment in trades if they’re being sincere about wanting more construction.

    10. AlpsSad1364 on

      Unless they believe Labour can magic up hundreds of thousands of skilled tradesmen, *without* increasing immigration, these people are right to be skeptical.

    11. Was it the taking money from old people, disabled people or opting to send our kids to war that’s convinced the working class that Starmer does not support them?

    12. lastaccountgotlocked on

      Erm, I haven’t trusted anyone to address the housing crisis for about twenty years.

      Labour could easily beat this “credibility crisis” by building houses

    13. Electricbell20 on

      The purpose of targets is to set a context, those only operating on two brain cells.

    14. badpersian on

      It’s not even a distrust in labour. Distrust in any UK government nowadays. Lying has become an accepted norm in politics.

    15. Mimicking-hiccuping on

      It’s not about trust, it’s abou…..actually. yea, I don’t trust them.

    16. Chosty55 on

      From a journalistic pov, was the question specific to labour being unable to hit these targets with other parties being better met, or any government in general?

    17. salamanderwolf on

      Of course they won’t. Not because of policy decisions, but because there’s a lack of builders, sparks etc. the infrastructure ala water, gp’s, dentists etc isn’t there. And companies that build houses aren’t going to glut the market so the price per house they can charge goes down.

      There’s literally no way they could hit the target without doing it themselves via a publicly owned infrastructure and housing company. Which will never, ever, happen in this left hating country.

    18. IsfetLethe on

      I don’t expect Labour to meet their targets, but I do expect them to make more progress than the Tories. The Tories never care about it because most of their voters benefit from higher house prices. As for Reform, they wouldn’t understand detailed, realistic, rational policy if it punched them in the face.

      Anyone who believes Farage is genuinely on their side is a clown

    19. Labour (or the tories) dont build houses. They build nothing. They arent paying for any to be built. These are targets set for private housebuilders, and its not in their interest to go that fast, we dont have skilled tradepeople and theres not enough land being freed up and allowed to build on by local councils. The govt has almost nothing to do with it apart from an arbitrary target for someone else to hit

    20. Pen_dragons_pizza on

      How about 67 per cent of us don’t believe that new build houses are even built to a quality standard.

      I actively avoided them in my house search

    21. Convincing_Tree on

      We don’t need more shit red boxes. 600k + properties remain empty. We need fairer rent controls for a start and the refurbishment and renovation of existing properties and estates rather than building more shit new builds on green belt land.

    22. aleopardstail on

      where did they find 33% who did trust them?

      the house building one has been fantasy since day one

    23. Drogopnom on

      Probably because the media supplies wall to wall negative coverage of the government. Turns out constant negativity and refusal to cover the positive stuff the government does results in the public having a negative view of the government.

    24. No-Actuator-6245 on

      I thought it was going to say 67% don’t trust new builds

    25. StitchedSilver on

      Ooof, the British community on Reddit may report you for this one

    26. Memes_Haram on

      I don’t trust most British tradesmen to be able to build suitable homes as well. The state of the hundreds of new builds I’ve seen is always shocking and every tradesmen that’s done work at our house has been a cowboy.
