Construction has hit record lows under Labour.
The next centre-right government has an opportunity to reset Britain's housing system.
Our documentary on the housebuilding crisis - The 2040 Test - is out now.

Delighted to be appointed Director of @BuildforBritain - the Centre-Right Campaign for Housebuilding.
Looking forward to making the case for removing barriers to development and building more homes.

In September the Deputy Mayor @tomcopley said “we *WILL* be able to achieve the new target”;
In January he said he “fully anticipates” meeting the target.
Today @SadiqKhan is merely “hopeful”. Londoners are paying the price for this Mayor’s failure on housing.
Kumail Jaffer@Kumail_Jaffer
Khan only says he is "hopeful" that City Hall meets affordable housing targets for 2021-26 (which have already been reduced twice) rather than guaranteeing it. "We've been here before...we've smashed records in the past," Mayor tells @AlexWilsonAM and @ShaunBaileyUK

Blocking luxury housing doesn't protect affordable housing. It destroys it.
The chain never starts. The person at the bottom never moves.

Forceful, provocative and compelling from @CJAWorrall, who understands housing better than almost anyone👇

After Grenfell, SW1 promised “never again”. Instead, they built a system where unsafe towers stand and safe ones never get built. In today's substack, I make the case if we don’t fix the fire service and the BSR, the next disaster is only a matter of time.

Exactly. NIMBYism isn't protecting property values.
If we had more urban density we would get more growth form agglomeration effects - & values would rise vs inflation.
The difference is that due to growth, values would rise in a way that's proportional to real income growth.
Dan Neidle@DanNeidle
I think it’s under-appreciated how much property prices in central London have fallen. If we take inflation into account - which we should - this is a 30% fall in value.

"So long as pro-growth advocates refuse to confront mass immigration, they will never build a durable coalition"
More on this today from @CJAWorrall on why YIMBYism failed.
Build for Britain@BuildForBritain
This is spot on from @Dominic2306 The YIMBY Movement cannot expect to win voters over on housebuilding if they do not address concerns on mass migration. Supply and Demand. The two go hand in hand.

Immigration-driven demand is a massive part of the housing affordability equation.
But - even more importantly for politicians - immigration & housing supply are inherently linked in voters' minds.
MPs will never be able to sell housebuilding unless immigration is tackled.

The rent is too damn high.
And in much of England, we’re not building enough homes.
Targets alone won’t fix it.
We need to raise the baseline rate of development and persuade voters that supply lowers costs.

Housing Secretary Steve Reed is much more interested in filming TikTok videos than he is building anything by the looks of it.
What a sorry state of affairs Labour have plunged our country into.
