Thinking of going to USA?

Tory legacy.

Thousands of flood defences protecting homes or businesses in England are below the required condition.

Years of austerity, cuts to council funding, deregulation, indulging builders to build in flood plains, lack of investment by water companies.

Country deserves better.

England struggles to build 1.5m new homes because of deindustrialization.

316m bricks imported last year, world's largest importer.
