Rayner: House-building can ramp up with new investment
Angela Rayner says changes to planning framework and new investment will help the government "ramp up" house-building to meet its pledge to build 1,500,000 homes before the next Parliament.
The deputy prime minister adds that disused brownfield sites are "exactly where we want to see that development".

In a historic and politically charged moment at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, shook hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska as his inaugural Mass drew to a close.
But the gesture was more than ceremonial. In his first global address, Pope Leo XIV vowed to make âevery effortâ to help end the war in Ukraine and later condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying people had been âreduced to famine.â
World leadersâincluding U.S. Vice President JD Vance, UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carneyâlooked on as faith and geopolitics collided in St. Peterâs Square.
Is the new pope signaling a bold new era of Vatican diplomacy? Can faith intervene where politics has failed?
