“The Tories have quietly ditched their manifesto pledge to build 200,000 starter homes.
The party promised to build the homes five times in their 2015 manifesto.
The manifesto promised the Tories, if elected, would “build 200,000 new Starter Homes – 20% below the market price, for first time buyers under 40.”
Later it pledged they would: “Build more homes that people can afford, including 200,000 new Starter Homes exclusively for first-time buyers under 40.”
It went on to say that at the 200,000 figure was a “clear objective” and was at the “heart” of the party’s housing plan.”
Now THAT’S how you do spin!
