140,000 affordable homes built 💜
And we’re aiming for at least 110,000 more by 2032.
That’s real action to tackle the housing crisis and help families find a secure place to call home.
Homes, not headlines. Scotland first.

Tories accuse Reform of 'fantasy numbers' as row erupts over pubs
Reform has been vying for publicans' backing after Labour was forced to backtrack on a planned business rates rise for pubs and music venues. But it has been accused of 'irresponsible' promises.

Racism in Britain isn’t just confined to the bloke in the pub or the distant uncle. In just the past months we have seen racism in politics, in media and now at the highest level of ‘the beautiful game’. Not the terraces. We can take the P word on the street, but racism in corridors is systemic.

We just shared the link from NBC about three warehouses being bought to house immigrants, but it now looks like we seriously underreported how many are being purchased. Based on information many of you have shared, the number appears to be over 26.
