Vicky Foxcroft MP for Lewisham Deptford & Shadow Minister for Disabled People
Since the Tories came to power in 2010, the number of new social homes being built across the country has dropped by 90%.
Homelessness has more than doubled.
Lewisham Council’s budget has been cut by 60% and its housing waiting list keeps growing.
Yet James Brokenshire, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, thinks it is acceptable – or even plausible – to blame the Mayor of London for the chronic lack of social housing in London?! Shameful.
