This is a massive backtrack by Andy Burnham, who made a clear pledge to dedicate the £39bn Affordable Homes Programme to building desperately needed council housing.
We’ve seen absolute chaos as a result of these recent temperatures, and such a massive human cost, yet we haven’t heard a peep from government about how they plan to protect us all.
This is something workers and trade unions have been raising the alarm about for many years – it shouldn’t have taken this long to act, but the unsafe temperatures we’re seeing now should be a huge wake-up call.
Pushing ahead with Rosebank directly undermines our international credibility and abandons global climate leadership when it is needed most.
