      Lee Anderson represents the mindset of voters in this constituency quite well. That is social conservatism, reactionary politics and the like. Lee would have won his seat with ease had he not started being an idiot with the 30p a day meal thing, he would win quite easily, even he was the only Tory left. Yet he's pretty sealed his fate. But ah well. He's got a future moaning career on GB News lined up so he'll be ok.

    Regardless of who is in your local council, Labour or Conservative, the funding for that region comes directly from the sitting government. That is presently the Tory party.
    Why cant people understand this.
    Secondly, the cost of living crisis is not restricted to one area.
    Those saying its better in the south are not paying London rates, rents, council tax etc. London rates spread across 4 counties outside of London especially regarding house prices as they are trying to attract people moving out of London and commuting.
    rents and house prices are much higher per salary regardless of how much higher the salary is north/south.

      @@elliotsimpson1148 I disagree, it’s an unhealthy economy that’s destined to crash anyway. By bringing in policies that favour first time buyers it will only improve the entire economy because millennials/gen z can start having children and start using their spare money, that would’ve been spent on rent, to propagate the economy. The only ones missing out will be landlords who will have to invest their money elsewhere other than property. So no, with the correct policies it will only be bad for landlords who have been leeching off everyone for too long.
