My dad bought a house in Accrington for £17,000 in 1992.
Sold for £135,000 in 2022 (!).

Overton windows ltd have installed your new double glazing several streets to the right
Great illustration of the austerity ratchet in Britain - restoring the pre-Osborne welfare state treated like wild-eyed radicalism
Aside from anything else, the benefit cap was introduced in 2013. Claiming that going back to 2012, to a benefit system designed by Tories but missing some of the most egregious and punitive excesses, is a sign of a "return" to even the real 1970s let alone the media boogeyman 1970s, is bollocks.

“I bought this house when it was only 300k and now it’s worth 2m, why should I have to leave because I can’t afford a tax???” - so you’re saying you’ve made over a million quid in profit off a house just by it existing and you’re now complaining that’s getting taxed a bit

my british grandparents (born 1903) welcomed a Black caribbean migrant as their daughter in law
In 1971, 1 in 3 NHS doctors were overseas born
Given the avg patient age, those born in the 1890s were quite likely to meet a migrant doctor
Whatever some commentators born in the 60s/70s/80s say, most ppl (incl their grandparents) regularly & positively interacted w/migrants their entire lives

There are ways of suppressing house prices but as this nation is fucking obsessed with them no government will
do it
do it
Going to say something that's political suicide in Britain, but: if we insist on having "house prices" in a healthy economy it would trend towards £0 over time and not result in me looking at a house two streets down from my parents which is almost identical to theirs that costs £700,000

Look it’s never nice to find yourself in a position of having to move when you don’t want to but given that due to the volatility of the London housing market I have had to move FIVE TIMES since 2020 I’m struggling to feel very sympathetic towards people whose ’problem’ is a paid off 2mil property.

This country seems to have a bottomless well of sympathy towards asset rich pensioners and only contempt for anyone under 50 who is putting half their income into paying their landlords fourth mortgage and a big chunk of the rest into skyrocketing bills.

Labour doing right wing things to chase votes they'll never win, that they don't need, for an election 3.5 years away.
So grim.
That middle paragraph is horrific from anyone, let alone a "Labour" government.

The reason why our media class think £2 million isn’t much for a house is that half of them went to private schools and grew up in houses now worth £2million. Bet they’re serving mum and dad funny tasting cups of tea

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.
