Theresa May has attempted to shift focus away from Brexit today as she delivered a speech on the state of the housing market in Britain.
She announced plans to penalise property developers who do not build homes quickly enough, urging the to “do their duty" to Britain.
The PM also used her speech to address rising levels of homelessness in the UK, adding: "In 2018, in one of the world’s largest, strongest economies, nobody should be without a roof over their head.
"This isn’t just a British problem – in recent years homelessness has risen across Europe – but it is source of national shame nonetheless."
