Angela Rayner has denied the claims that he threatened to give up the objective of work to build 1.5 million new homes in five years.
In an updated biography of Sir Keir Starmer, entitled Red Flag, VicePrimer Minister and Secretary of Housing, which is said to be on the verge of leaving the “impossible” objective established by Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer.
The updated version of Lord Ashcroft’s book, fellow Tory and multimillionaire, also states that it was only a Sir Tony Blair intervention, the former prime minister, who persuaded his stay.
In October 2023, Sir Keir announced his games to build 1.5 million homes within five years after labor, a key feature in the party’s manifesto for the general elections of last year, which promised to “build Great Britain again.”
In the red flag, Lord Ashcroft states that Rayner threatened to give up what is described as the “impossible” goal. However, it is not clear when it is said that this happened.
As the mail first reported on Sunday and later The Telegraph, fellow Tory wrote: “He is still prone to provoke problems … an occasion threatened to resign because he felt that he had established a new homeeget work construction.
“A call from Tony Blair was needed to speak it, which, by the way, tells how important Blair is for the Starmer project.”
A source close to Rayner told The Mail: “We do not recognize the claims made. Angela is proud to serve as a viceprimer minister in the Keir cabinet and deliver the crystalline commitment to build 1.5 million homes as part of our exchange plan.”
Labor sources suggested that Rayner’s Conns on the objective were justified, with an email count: “The fact is not enough bricks and there is not enough water to supply these houses.”
A Labor deputy told the newspaper: “I think Rayner realized some time ago that the objective of 1.5 million new houses cannot be delivered. But now the penny has set aside for Angie’s team that she was prepared to fail this all the time.”
Earlier this year, Rayner admitted that she and the prime minister “agree on everything,” but insisted that he wanted to do the best for the country.
