      I’m sure someone will be along to tell us now how that’s not a bad thing or how their favourite culture war holds the key.

      We have been let down if not abandoned by the political sphere. The labour centre tries to imply things are going well while tripping over scandals. The right aren’t telling us anything but they’ll fix it even though it’s their mess and someone will tell us that a non gender bathroom is somehow behind this or the lack of it is.

      Change is needed. A party that will actually govern on old boring politics and clear material gain for all instead of managing the decline of the shutting down factory of GB

      But on the upside we have billionaires now….. 🤦‍♀️

      Articles like this kind of break my heart. People in this country are so intelligent and capable, I don’t understand how we ended up in this situation.

      i’m pretty sure this will be the fault of the unemployed claiming benefits

      It’s frustrating how we find ourselves in this situation. I am struggling to pay to commute once a week but the wage growth is staggeringly bad and when I’ve proposed taking on more responsibility at work for more pay I get shut down.

      Ever since of talk of a recession last year there has been a risk-averse attitude throughout industries in order to stay afloat. It’s shocking really.

      It was never about the economy – it was about freedom from unelected bureaucrats and sovereignty. People aren’t stupid, they knew what they were voting for and £90B a year is the price worth paying to have our blue passports back and the pint of milk for the same price of a litre.

      Brexit vote won – get over it.

      (/s just in case)

      It’s probably not realistic to expect living standards to keep doubling every fourty years as they did in the twentieth century. That was a brief historical blip, not some kind of new normal. The planet can’t support eight billion people with constantly doubling material needs.

      This is such a crappy article. Clearly blames labour when things like this can’t be fixed within a couple years. This is a multi generational issue and will take time. At least labour are starting to do somehting with removing the child cap etc

      What is going with the jobs market? People with multiple stem degrees and years of experience used to earning 100k+ are struggling to find jobs. You spend years climbing up from poverty, study hard, build a career only to end up considering taking a job at Tesco and losing your home??

      One of my boomer colleagues was trying to tell me I should be thankful for what I earn. Call me gobsmacked.

      9% interest on student loans and freezing the pay cap will help.

      It’s a great time to slow down, do less hours and spend less money and start connecting with friends & family instead of chasing the grind. Lots of my colleagues work for takeaways, fancy cars and clothes, weddings and lavish holidays anyway. Just shed those things and start living for experiences and friendship instead of things!

      Living standards will continue to fall whilst there are billions of people from developing and third world countries that will be willing to work for less. It’s too easy for the corporations to access this labor.

      So what do we do about it? Maybe it’s time to take a page out of the French book.

      I mean taxes are higher across the board to pay for the welfare state, businesses pay more and workers pay more which is why everyone working feels squeezed. In the mean time, welfare spending (yes, including pensions) keeps going up.

      Those are the simple facts of the matter.

      Someone will be along in the comments now telling people that they just need to live off plain rice and plain vegetables.

      Same in every country we’re no different. Visited Sweden, Finland, Germany, Spain, France all in the past month, everyone told me the same thing.We’re all in the same boat. We just have to ride this wave till be hit that distant crest.

      And they’re being tricked into voting to work even harder, for even less, with the swindlers at Reform.

      Property prices are the sole cause of this.

      So remember to hate the people behind the supply/demand equation. We havent built enough houses and we have too many people entering the country.

      Our parents did not need to spend 50-70% of 2x full time incomes to afford the roof over their heads.

      If people retained more of their take home pay we could absorb things like energy price shocks, food price shocks, we would be able to pay more money into the social care system for better services. We would have more money to spend in the economy.

      All the time money goes into property costs it’s then lost to the the consumer economy which is essentially the engine of the country.

      14 years of Tory mismanagement coming home to roost.

      Thanks England for your terrible judgement.
