Michael Gove and Rishi Sunak pledge to see off rebellions and increase number of homes
Michael Gove today said the government was unapologetically focussing home building on cities because that was the right thing to do"economically, environmentally and culturally".
Just look at the response from South Cambridgeshire MP Anthony Browne to plans laid out for his region –"I will do everything I can to stop the government's nonsense plans to impose mass housebuilding", he tweeted.Well, Mr Browne has the Liberal Democrats snapping at his heels and is no doubt mindful of the Tory by-election result in the suburban seat of Chesham and Amersham, where a thumping loss was widely put down to local concern about planning and homebuilding.
The government says it wants new properties built in the right places. The concern of many is this really means as far away as possible from homeowning Tory voters.
