“Only the top 10% of earners in England can afford current house prices” is a bit disingenuous because most people buy houses as a couple. £72k is £4,355 take home for one person (assuming 8% pension contribution), or two people earning £31k, which is barely above minimum wage.

Always been the way you bought a house with your partner – 2 incomes. We had a brief period where people were doing so well they didn’t need to. Now we have a reversion to average.

How come most people own a house then. Maybe because people buy them as a couple.

The first party to ignore all the forces trying to make the political agenda all about who a few dozen illegal immigrants are and what sports team 1% of 1% of the population should be on, and instead shows that they know this is THE issue for most people and make real moves to fix it, wins the next few elections.
