I have grown very tired indeed of hearing this both-sides argument about tribalism and extremism. In fact, the left was highly engaged in at least trying to police its borders. The right has failed to do anything of the sort. It is lost in a radicalisation process, proceeding at pace.

Lots of things can be true at the same time. Economies are dynamic.
Does the UK currently face a construction capacity constraint partially due to skilled labour shortages? Yes.
Would a credible commitment to a decade+ of building projects see the sector expand and ease constraints? Also yes.

I've spent 20yrs working for some of the world's largest social media firms and the fact is most people don't comment. So when the Internet is blowing up about something, it's largely meaningless. Everyone would do well to remember that.

British politics in 2024 is a lot more amusing if you recall that 10 years ago, the whole point of having the EU referendum from the perspective of the Tory leadership was to eliminate completely the threat Nigel Farage posed to them.
