Zack Polanski owns hapless Labour on housing – again

The Labour Party decided to attack the Greens on housing policy – but Zack Polanski wasn’t having it. Someone at Labour HQ decided this would be a good move. But, these are the same people who have produced a string of fails so long it could go around the world about eight times.

Enter Steve Reed, minister of housing. A man whose aura could still send you to sleep after a kilo of medical grade amphetamine:

Green Councils – block baby block 🚫

Labour Governments – BUILD BABY BUILD 🏗️🇬🇧 https://t.co/j88BJxfNib

Sadly for Reed, Big Zack claps back (see what I did there?)

The Mancunian Mamdani  (Manc-dani… work in progress, okay) correctly pointed out Labour is in the pocket of Big Property:

The Labour Party are absolutely dripping in property developers money.

They're creating assets for foreign investors – not the council homes we need.

Talk baby talk. https://t.co/Nf3WuUWr9I pic.twitter.com/vBsVxXC9C9

Polanski has a point

And, of course, he has a point. Anybody who’s been to the wrong side of the Pennines in the last ten years knows the city of Oasis is an absolute shitshow for housing:

I rant about this every time I go into Manchester city centre. So many new skyscrapers that nobody can afford to live in, meanwhile the homeless are left to it. https://t.co/05yz0zDMfU

To add to that, Reed seems to be straight up liar. Reports suggest he, himself, has been blocking builds in south London:

Steve Reed is block baby block when it comes to his own constituency. Labour drenched in hypocrisy on so many topics https://t.co/kf0gb3Ld1C pic.twitter.com/cIFB4CMPVc

Another X user noted a musty tang around Reed’s posting. A real back-of-the-throater. A waft of Trump, in fact:

Labour basing their slogans on Donald Trump speak. Is there nothing Labour can't get 100% wrong? https://t.co/Zxnv7TCkpT

And Cez the Socialist was quick to remind us Labour are too far behind on their own housing pledges to be giving it The Big One about other parties:

We are more than a quarter of the way through the Parliament and less than 2.5% of your target of 1.5 million homes have been built. So if we’re being generous, you will have built just 10% of what you promised to get elected. Is that “build, baby, build”?

But this row might resolve a bigger issue. Polanski has been quite measured in his comments on working with other parties.

Labour are dead, lol

On 5 November, the P-Unit told a host on one of the 14 million vacuous daily centrist talk shows we have in this country:

It’s very difficult for me to predict what a relationship between the Green Party and the Labour Party would look like until I know who the future leader will be.

This was in reference to Keir Starmer being unlikely to be the PM at the 2029 General Election.

Given the fact that Labour, having welded itself to right-wing politics, inequality, and genocide, would be fortunate if anyone worked with it in future. In fact, with the Greens remarkable rise in recent weeks, Labour would be lucky to be asked to make the tea.
