EXCLUSIVE: The Scottish Greens co-leader said the need for urgent investment in new homes was 'necessary down south and it's necessary here as well'.
Keir Starmer must face "immediate pressure" if he becomes the next prime minister to ditch Tory spending plans and invest in housing across the UK, Patrick Harvie has said.
The decision prompted a backlash from housing charities who warned it could make the country's growing homelessness problem even worse. Rachel Reeves, Labour's shadow chancellor, has previously hinted there would be an initial "injection of cash" if Starmer replaces Rishi Sunak as PM. "There's absolutely nobody in the Scottish Government who would have wished to have to handle the kind of cut to our capital budget that we have, and there's no way of dealing with that without their being harm as a result.
"We have a good track record in investing in social housing in Scotland, more so than the rest of the UK. But that alone isn't enough. We need to recognise the private rented sector has grown dramatically. Scottish Labour Housing spokesman Mark Griffin said "The Tories have been a disaster for Scotland, but the SNP-Green government cannot dodge responsibility for their own woeful record in government.
