Nearly half of new homes build under Labour cancelled out by influx of migrants

Almost half of the homes built under Labour have been cancelled out by the massive influx of migrants arriving in the UK, damning new data has revealed.

Since Sir Keir Starmer took office in 2024, an estimated 312,606 people have added to the population through net migration.

Figures show these arrivals have created new pressure for 130,166 homes, equal to 47 per cent of the homes built by the government.

Conservative MP Katie Lam has slammed Labour for failing to implement safe immigration policies.

She told The Daily Express: “The combination of low supply, because of restrictions on housebuilding, and high demand, driven mostly by immigration, has left a whole generation locked out of home ownership.

“They've not made it any easier to get houses built, and they've failed to implement the kind of limited, selective immigration system that the British people have voted for, time and time again.”

Ms Lam also accused Sir Keir’s Government of making “both problems worse".

Meanwhile, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philip warned: “This is what uncontrolled immigration looks like.

"Nearly half of all homes Labour delivers vanishes before a British family gets a look in.

“Labour have failed on both housing and immigration.

“The Conservatives have set out a plan that tackles the problem at both ends. Through our BORDERS Plan, we will leave the ECHR, remove all illegal immigrants within a week of arrival, end the merry-go-round of appeals, and we will curb the pressures driving demand, scrap Stamp Duty to get the market moving, and free up the homes families need.

“That is how we restore fairness and give people a real path to ownership.”
