Taking a clear stance against Labour, Sunak drew a distinct line of demarcation by asserting his commitment to safeguarding green spaces from Sir Keir Starmer’s proposed expansion onto the green belt. Starmer, who positioned himself as a proponent of “the builders not blockers,” recently announced plans to loosen regulations governing construction on protected countryside.
Dismissing Labour’s approach, Sunak countered, stating, “I firmly believe that such an approach is misguided,” highlighting the opposition he anticipates from local communities regarding Labour’s proposals.
