The London mayor said the lack of affordable homes “is having a profound and devastating effect in every corner of our capital, impacting every part of our progress".He added: “It’s creating intergenerational inequality like we’ve never seen before. It’s shattering one of the bedrock principles Britain was built on: that if you work hard, you get ahead. And it’s having far-reaching implications for the demographics of our country and our capital.”

The mayor argued that more affordable housing in London would make it easier for businesses to attract and retain workers, and reduce homelessness and the reliance on temporary accommodation, which in turn would lead to more jobs and more investment for future growth.During the general election campaign earlier this year, Khan called for a £2.2bn “emergency stimulus” package to boost home-building.In last month’s Budget, the chancellor committed £100m in funding for the Affordable Homes Programme in London.

In July, the new government asked Khan to more than double the number of new homes being built in the capital each year.He has been set a new target of 80,000 homes; about 35,000 were built last year.

But the Conservatives say the new figure is less than London needs and less than the target they had set the mayor for home-building in the capital each year.

In his speech at the Centre for London, Khan said: “In short, investment in building homes people can afford will lead to the growth we need.in the West Bank, the Palestinian territory between Israel and Jordan that was captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war and has been occupied ever since.

Between 7 October and August 2024, 589 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank – at least 570 by Israeli forces and at least 11 by settlers,. They include some said to have been planning attacks as well as unarmed civilians. In the same period, Palestinians killed five settlers and nine members of Israel’s security forces.

This week, a Palestinian man aged 40 was reportedly shot dead after settlers and Israeli soldiers entered Wadi al-Rahhel, near Bethlehem. The Israeli military said stones had previously been thrown at an Israeli vehicle nearby.Last month, a 22-year-old Palestinian man was killed when dozens of settlers rampaged through the village of Jit, prompting international condemnation. Israeli security forces have made four arrests and have described the incident as a “severe terror event”.
