15:28Now PlayingAs Keir Starmer targets voters who want more housing, Shelagh Fogarty asks callers whether the Labour Leader is right to declare war on NIMBYism.
Starmer, alongside Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner, has pledged to build 1.5 million homes over the span of five years, with plans to utilise "grey belt land" - areas categorised as green belt but potentially comprising wastelands and disused car parks.
Housing is poised to feature prominently in Labour's manifesto, with policies tailored to attract both affluent first-time buyers and individuals with lower incomes seeking improved access to social housing. This contrasts with the Tories' approach, as Rishi Sunak faces criticism from his own party members for abandoning housebuilding targets.
