Keir Starmer has been compelled to deny allegations that Labour plans to 'flatten the whole green belt' to build houses if they win power. The accusations were brought to light by Rishi Sunak, who claimed that Labour's true intentions involve extensive development on rural buffer zones. Conservative figures such as Priti Patel and Saqib Bhatti have criticized Labour's stance, arguing that it would lead to unwanted developments and the destruction of Britain's countryside, particularly in areas like Meriden and Solihull East. Mike Fabricant also weighed in, suggesting that building should focus on post-industrial brown belt land instead.

Starmer and Labour will ignore local communities and bulldoze over Britainโs countryside building pylons and unwanted developments. The only way to save our countryside and protect our green belt is to vote Conservative. ๐ฌ๐ง๐ตโ https://t.co/i01ZY8aqWk
