If Tories fail to build enough new homes, they are stoking a war between the old and the wealthy - and the rest, Andrew Marr has warned
Andrew continued: "But ministers haven’t worked out a way to get those houses built without dictating targets from the centre. Tory MPs are fighting back in the name of local democracy."
"They've put down amendments to the new levelling up and Regeneration bill to stop the government telling councils to build houses or making sure they do, so making a bad situation much worse." He went on: "Tory MPs from the right of the party, like John Redwood and the left of the party like Damian Green have banded together for this high purpose. It is a war against growth and a war against people who don't own their own homes yet. It is a war on behalf of older, wealthier people against the rest.
Conservatives from the right of the party, like John Redwood, and the left, like Damian Green are against housing targets."It is a war, in short. of the haves, and their political power against the have-nots… And it's been going on in government offices and the House of Commons behind the scenes all week.
"If you think I sound worked up, here are the words of a Tory supporting think tank boss, Robert Colville of the centre for policy studies, who told Conservative MP's "if you back these wicked proposals you are spitting in the face of a generation – not to mention removing any prospect of its members ever becoming home owners and voting Tory.”
