Going on LBC radio at 8.20am to talk about Kirstie Allsopp saying that young people just need to move hundreds of miles away, cancel Netflix and their gym membership to buy a house... Tune in if you like!

Thanks to BBC Radio Sheffield for having me on this morning (c.8.15) to talk about the insane cost of housing, the moving goalposts of mortgage deposit saving, and why buying a house isn't the end of the struggle in today's housing crisis... bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…

Wow, amazing to discover I have readers in Mexico! My book was focussed very much on the UK situation, but I'd be v interested to hear if any aspects resonate in other countries...

Journalists: if National Insurance is rising from 12% to 13.25% it is NOT rising by 1.25%. It is rising by 1.25 percentage points. if you want to describe its rise in percentage terms, it is rising by just over 10%. It is a 10% tax hike.

Absolutely heartbreaking news. A superb journalist who did so much to expose the evils of Britain's housing crisis. Condolences to all who knew and loved her x

Yet another example of the corrupt leasehold system, this time a nasty doubling ground rent clause - if anyone wants to help Lotty Earns she's asking for RTs to put pressure on her billionaire freeholder - who has the nerve to sit on a homelessness charity board!

2019: 'If young people didn't spend all their money on fancy coffees they would be able to afford a house'

2021: 'If young people don't go back to offices and buy fancy coffees then the economy is going to implode'

Pretty sure fancy coffees shouldn't have such power tbh

Really interesting discussion this evening, though it did feel like we only scratched the surface. Many thanks to Steve R. Macey for inviting me and also to Ian Mulheirn, Reuben Young and Andrew Adonis for your thought-provoking contributions.
