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

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

Boomers must be protected at all costs !
This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

The UK prefers racism over prosperity as Brexit proved
Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting.
Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth?
For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

And one problem with "british people can do these jobs" is many of "these jobs" are state adjacent (carers) and the state is psychotically opposed to paying people more

Migrants are staffing public services and paying tax that is not being reinvested in communities
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.

It is IMO not possible to operate any kind of meaningful democracy when your national press is a joke and a travesty, but your mileage on that may vary. I think it’s incontestable that it is impossible to govern well and effectively, while being in hock to these pantomime clowns.

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.
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 is not a good plan! I was given a pay rise that put me £1 a year over the threshold (£15k at the time) which meant I was worse off after my pay rise.
I absolutely wouldn’t have been able to afford repayment at a lower salary.

No, coconut is not about “disagreeing with people” it is about people of colour throwing the rest of their community under the bus by colluding with white supremacy for personal gain. You obviously don’t have the range for this discussion so why get involved?
