Housing policy, including help for renters and first time buyers, has become a key election battleground.
We asked Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner what she has to say, including on Awaab’s law – named after the 2-year-old boy who died as a result of prolonged exposure to mould in a social housing flat.We see over a quarter of the private rental sector where the decent home standards are not being met. So by extending Awaab’s law to the private sector, it means that we will improve people’s health.
We’re in favour of Right to Buy, but we’ll review the discounted rate so that the taxpayers are not losing out and we can build the social housing that we need. But it has to be reasonable and fair.Let’s talk about fairness, because that’s at the heart of all this, isn’t it? Keir Starmer has repeatedly refused to rule out a change in council tax banding.
That’s the system that we’ve got at the moment, and that’s the system that is going to continue, because I have no plans to change that.It’s not your top priority, clearly, but at some point in a first term, that is something that could happen. You’re not ruling it out – rebanding council tax?There’s a significant amount of work that we need to do. Unfortunately, the Tories promised renters reform. They didn’t do that. They promised to end no-fault evictions. They haven’t done that.
