76% Informative

Labour ’s first conference as the party of government in 15 long years will still have an element of gleeful excitement.

But nagging doubts will not be hard to find, and they will go further than the awful mess over gifts and donations.

A panicked prime minister is now vowing to protect public services from austerity while sticking to his lines about the forthcoming budget being “tough”.

In 2022-23 , England lost 24,000 social homes thanks to sales and 3,000 were demolished.

Shelter says at least 90,000 new social homes now need to be built every year .

The last time 300,000 homes were built each year was in the late 1960s .
