Readers respond to the Guardian’s budget ‘speech’ that it believes Rachel Reeves should deliver
An excellent condensed budget speech that the chancellor should give (Editorial, 26 October). I have two further points for the red book.
First, social housing should be a number one priority. An expanded social housing programme will deliver well-paid jobs, reduce the housing benefit bill, homelessness costs for councils and upward pressure on private rents, and stop the rightwing cry that there is no housing for locals.
