We just can't carry on like this.
00:02
We're not getting the development we need.
00:04
We're not getting the houses we need.
00:06
We've got eight times average income for first-time buyers.
00:09
People are priced out of getting a home,
00:12
and I'm determined to change it.
00:13
And Trevor, I've been underestimated quite a lot
00:16
in my life, and I wouldn't allow the Prime Minister
00:18
to put that target up there if I didn't think I could meet it.
00:21
And I'm determined to do it because having a home
00:24
is not just about a home.
00:26
It's about security.
00:27
It's about a job.
00:28
It's about raising a family.
00:30
And far too many people now can't do that.
00:33
There is never going to be any underestimation of Angela
00:37
Rayner in this studio.
00:38
So let's just start from this point.
00:42
If we are talking in four years' time,
00:44
can you guarantee you're going to be able to say,
00:46
Trevor, I've done it?
00:47
I'm determined to make sure by the end of this parliament
00:50
that I meet that target.
00:51
I hate failure, Trevor.
00:52
And that target is my target, so I've got to deliver it.
00:58
But it does mean that we're going
00:59
to have to make real changes to the planning system.
01:02
We've already put $5 billion next year
01:05
into additional funding into housing, $500 billion
01:08
into affordable homes.
01:10
There has to be lots of different parts
01:12
of the system that works.
01:14
And that includes, and I want to reassure people
01:16
listening to this.
