Reform UK proposes prioritising British-born young workers for social housing
💡 Why it matters
If implemented, it could entrench community divisions and fail to tackle the housing shortage, while potentially penalising long-term residents who pay taxes and work in critical sectors.
Reform UK plans to give social housing priority to UK-born young workers and married couples under 35 with children, while making foreign-born UK citizens wait longer. Labour criticises the proposal as unserious, unworkable, and divisive.
