As Labour’s candidate for mayor of London in 2016, Sadiq Khan told voters he would be the “council-estate boy who fixes the Tory housing crisis”.
“This election is not just a referendum on the housing crisis,” he said at the time. “It is a referendum on the type of homes we build.”
Two years later, Mr Khan’s opponents are already gearing up for a fresh mayoral race in 2020. And while there are signs that his push for affordable housing is bearing fruit, the capital’s housing crunch is becoming more acute.
