Every prime minister promises ambitious plans to build new homes – every prime minister in more than half a century has failed. Andy Burnham says he’ll be different. The former Manchester mayor is on the verge of becoming the new tenant in Number 10 and wants to oversee the biggest council house construction programme since the post-war boom.

Mhari Aurora speaks to David Byers, deputy property editor at The Times and Sunday Times. #ukpolitics #housing #homes #andyburnham Have you got something you want the team to look into?
