		</div><p>Jeremy Corbyn is hitting the Home Counties with a promise to tackle the housing crisis as he continues his blitz of marginal parliamentary seats.</p>
<p>The Labour leader is campaigning to unseat Tory MPs with slim majorities in Reading and Milton Keynes under a plan to keep his party on a general election footing. Mr Corbyn will highlight rocketing house prices and attack the Government for &#8220;giving tax breaks to the wealthy&#8221;.</p>
<p>At a rally in Milton Keynes, he is expected to say: &#8220;The Conservative Government has spent seven years giving tax breaks to the wealthy, who don&#8217;t need them, while making it harder for most people in our country to make ends meet.</p>
<p>&#8220;Here in Milton Keynes, like so many towns and cities across the country, the cost of housing is sky-rocketing &#8211; house prices have gone up 50% in five years. &#8220;The next Labour government will tackle the housing crisis. &#8220;We will create a new Department for Housing and build 100,000 homes a year by the end of the next Parliament. &#8220;Housing should be about homes for the many, not investment opportunities for the few.</p>
<p>&#8220;Commuters from Milton Keynes to London have seen rail fares increasing faster than their wages year in, year out. &#8220;Labour will bring down fares by returning our rail system to public ownership, putting more money in people&#8217;s pockets and making sure our railways are run in the interests of people, not profit.<br />
&#8220;The Government has no plan to help people struggling to get by.</p>
<p>&#8220;The price of everyday goods keeps going up faster than wages. &#8220;Labour will introduce a real living wage of £10 an hour, scrap the public sector pay cap and take action to reduce utility bills through bringing public services back into public hands, to keep household costs down.</p>
<p>&#8220;Labour is campaigning right across our country this summer, putting forward our plan for a country that works for the many not the few.&#8221; The Conservatives held Reading West with a majority of 2,876 and Milton Keynes North with 1,915 votes.</p>
