Interview: Emma Reynolds

Housing is shaping up to be a key election battleground for Labour, and new shadow minister Emma Reynolds will be leading the charge. She tells Joey Gardiner why she is not afraid to take on the big housebuilders.

Emma Reynolds is excited. Labour’s new shadow housing minister, replacing the more sober veteran campaigner Jack Dromey, seems to be doing her best, at 36, to inject a touch of youthful enthusiasm into the role. “I LOVE it!” she beams, when asked about the move from her last job as shadow Europe minister. “I mean I’m passionate about Europe too but the agenda was so dominated by the right [wing], and anti-Europeans. It was very hard to be heard. But every issue impacts upon housing.” Read the full interview on the Building website.
