Labour will solve the housing crisis. This is how | Keir Starmer interview

In this interview from Labour Party Conference, Prime Minister Keir Starmer sits down to discuss one of the most pressing issues facing Britain today: the housing crisis. With house prices soaring and rents reaching record highs, millions of young people are being locked out of the housing market, forced into insecure tenancies and sky-high rents. Starmer outlines his government’s plans to make housing more affordable, build more homes, and ensure that young people are no longer left at the mercy of the private rental sector.

In the interview, the Prime Minister explains his vision for tackling the crisis from multiple angles. He highlights Labour’s commitment to building new affordable homes, reforming planning laws, and working with local authorities to deliver large-scale housing projects. Starmer also discusses policies designed to protect renters from exploitation, improve housing standards, and provide greater stability for families and young people across the UK.

With housing at the heart of Labour’s mission to create a fairer Britain, this conversation sheds light on how the government plans to rebalance the market in favour of those who need it most, rather than speculative investors. Starmer makes clear that young people deserve security, affordability, and the chance to own a home—not a lifetime of precarious renting.

Whether you’re a renter struggling with rising costs, a first-time buyer priced out of the market, or simply concerned about the future of housing in the UK, this interview offers insight into what the Labour government is promising to deliver.
