Labour’s supposedly bold ‘new towns’ idea has been tried before. And it failed

There would be “Labour new towns”, whatever they are, referred to in later briefing as in the south, on the “M1 corridor”, brooking no local opposition and “the equivalent of five Milton Keynes.” Land for them would be purchased compulsorily at a knock-down price. It sounded ominously like the HS2 of housing.

I wonder how much money is being put into this endeavour, both publicly and privately/secretly.

I find it gross, and can think of much better use for the money at the moment in the UK.

It seems to be a slap in the face for the millions of people who are suffering desperately currently in the UK, people who can’t afford to use electricity/gas because they can’t afford the bills, employees of the NHS who are viciously underpaid, people who are ill and need to be in a hospital but are instead near the bottom of a vast waiting list or unable to get an ambulance or left in a long queue outside the hospitals and people whose welfare benefits are not enough to live on, and I could go on for ever.
