I’d like a video on the housing crisis.
Can we also get a video on the US channel covering the housing crisis in the US?
@@vikmanphotography7984 What about the worldwide channel for the housing crisis around the world.
Yep, me too
@@jontysherson most of the world is suffering a housing crisis of some sort but the nature of each crisis seems fairly unique to each region.
*So they could put it on the global channel. I just don't know if the video could be specific enough to be of much use.
@@jontysherson That is what I was thinking! Why is the channel split and not in one big place as a huge community :)

Soo true ...
Funny that was the next on recommendations
Even funnier that like a month after or so a video about the Conservative lead has collapsed
@@jrko0 it hasnt
A video on the housing crisis would be very useful
Bloody regulators, eh?
@@thefrenchareharlequins2743 I know right? If people want to keep their green spaces they should make their own and stop hurting hard working people by keeping them unable to buy houses
You can't really fit the housing crisis into this video but it would give some good context as to why this is a big problem. Plus unless there is a solution that the left can put forward to address the issue it might not be a big Tory killer.
@@dattaxpony920 yes, the left will only win if its united and cohesive, but that will result in a 2 party system with psuedo-populists in power
You think you have a housing crisis now!!!!? You ain't seen nothing yet! Wait till the at least a million BNO passport holders arrive. Don't forget they can sell one tiny (say 600 square foot) flat here in Hong Kong and buy a couple of actual houses in the UK! And have done so!
I'd be interested in TLDR's take on the housing crisis for sure.
Thought the house prices were going to totally collapse after 'BREXIT'
I’d like a housing crisis video. Something I know very little about.
Well, Poland now has continuously rising prices of housing. Whether or not it's a bubble a'la the 2008 economic crisis is yet to be seen though.
Well all parties are London led.
Most MPs still use the expense system to fund London second homes mortgages
Solving the housing crisis produces negative equity.
No party actually wants to "fix' it.
You can suggest it in the doc in the video description
Currently covid is causing inflation fears and housing increase worldwide.
Not enough are being built
TLDR: “I’m playing both sides so that I always come out on top”
Well you can’t accuse TLDR of being biased.
@@qtheplatypus watch people do it anyways
@@Infinitystar225 yeah, sadly
@@Infinitystar225 people always accuse him of being biased

Hey, Jack - let the writers do the housing script or we unsub
I was about to write this but you beat me to it 😁
"Hello this is TLDR and today we're going to look at why the UK is facing a housing crisis"
A ten minute still picture of Thatcher.
While Jack mutters "Air BnB" repestedly
A big reason for the lack of houses is that old people are living longer, and Thatcher has already done her part to help rectify that.
Na we need a picture of Blair who started the process of letting 10million plus people into the country for no reason at all
@@AdamWebb1982 Let me, guess, Brexiteer? The simple fact is we need more immigrants not less.
@@AdamWebb1982 Ten million? Link please.
housing prices are normally a deep dive - would love to see a TLDR take!
I can't really see conservatives losing unless the other parties get their shit together
If the other parties can stop listening to fake possible voters, those that keep voting Tory and claiming it is Labour's or Liberal Democrat's fault for making them vote Tory. And if the voting system changed would be a great help to democracy.
The conservatives don't exactly have their shit together either but the majority of the mainstream media and in turn their voting base don't care.
@@QT5656 the previous video explains it pretty well also. Where liberal voting has shifted between 4 parties ranging from centrists like lib dems to further left leaning politics like greens (and the Scottish vote favoring SNP now); what the conservatives have successfully done is squeezed out the right leaning competition, by pandering/mimicking the policies more heavily right leaning parties could have stolen votes with.
@@tomfawkes9357 Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I have watched that video where they discuss:
1. Incumbency
2. The splintered left
3. Unionist Scotland problem
Personally I don't count leaning further right to pick up votes from the far right parties as evidence that they "have their sh*t together." It was also arguably inevitable once Brexit became irreversible. For me getting their sh*t together would include no scandals (e.g. Hancock, Cummings) and managing COVID effectively (e.g. SERCO track and trace disasters, Nightingale, dodgy PPE spending, U-turns, needing lockdowns).
More like if the news stopped dogging everyone and started actually talking about the long term fuck ups the tories have made
The writer is a clairvoyant. We DEMAND THE HOUSING CRISIS VIDEO!
I voted for 'BREXIT" because they promised me that house prices would totally crash. What happened?
2024 is a long time away, I do worry about the NHS though & it sounds like the Cons are stuck on the housing issue if they don't want to piss off their voters
Piss off voters or lose them anyways for failing to deliver.
I'd hope a government could be mature enough to fix a problem regardless of the political cost but realistically I anticipate cowardice.
Lol patterz love that ur actually interested in politics
I think they're doing a snap election in 2022 (after covid is more or less dealt with)
@@DrFroggen Ian Blackford in the last PMQs started putting pressure on Johnson to answer questions about the pandemic before a general election is called. It could be a real fear that they call the election off a bounce from 'solving' the pandemic

The problem is that Keir Starmer is as charming as a wood door
but even thicker
He's the worst thing about Labour right now, I'm not going to vote Conservative, but my god Keir makes me not even want to vote for Labour. The guy has no spine and is trying to appeal to centrists and conservatives thinking he's pulling them over from the Right when all he's doing is moving the party closer to them and further away from the Left. Britain is becoming more and more like America where there isn't an actual Leftist party anymore.
@@Necromitzu1 I don't see the problem with that. You have to realise that real life is not like the internet. Left wing politics don't win general elections in the UK. The country has always been more to the right, which is one of the reasons why Labour got trounced in 2019 under Corbyn's leadership.
@@Independenceday95 I'd say the main reason Corbyn got trounced was the absolutely shameful smear campaign levied against him in the run up to the election, which was unlike anything I'd ever seen before in this country.
And yeah, sure, moving closer to the center increases their chance of winning... and then what? Does it really matter for the working class if their party wins by appealing more to conservatives and leaves their working class roots behind? Sure, they're not as bad as having conservatives in power, but Kier doesn't give me much hope that he'll actually achieve any meaningful change. Did you see his latest statement on Boris not being tough enough on crime? What the fuck is that shit? Is that really the main issue we need to deal with right now?
My concern is that even if Labour wins, they'll accomplish almost nothing and then the country will swing right back to the Torys at the earliest opportunity. It feels hopeless.
@@Necromitzu1 it is, most left wing "working class" centered policies are actually pretty unpopular. The premise of higher taxes to fund them, angers a majority of people and the prospect of increased borrowing especially following covid worries many people as well. Keir being useless doesn't help either.
At this point I kinda believe there's alot of tory voters who, against even their best interest, will always vote tory.
This is the same for labour voters though? So your point is meaningless
@@borednbearded There's no one other than .01% of the super-rich who benefit from tory policies.
@@borednbearded if you vote for any type of conservative candidate in any country your just screwed, these people pretend to run on a populist background but are the exact thing the common man dosent need
@@cruxell and yet any time someone like you says these things, you provide literally no evidence for your claims… it’s well and good saying “the conservatives are really bad” but without telling me why, your words are useless and meaningless…
@@borednbearded I can provide perfect arguments, in America conservative held voting rights from black people for decades, and til this day are still trying to make voting as hard as possible to decrease turn out, in Canada the conservative party wants to continue the oil and gas industry and limit healthcare rights which only harms not only the planet In a world were we are all trying to save it, but also take away healthcare during the middle of a pandemic, in the UK the conservative party held Brexit something LITTERALY nobody wanted, has completely ignored the housing crisis, and fails to keep up with UHC again during the middle of the pandemic, the Australian conservative party wants to increase taxes on the lower class to help cushion the middle class making the already sturggling lower class struggle even more. I can go on and on and on and on
They won't lose. Disgruntled Tory voters will still vote Tory due to lack of credible alternative for them.
@@IIZCHAOS Even an alternate central party would provide a decent local option, I am in a pure conservative area due to it being rural area but another option that isn't Labour which policies are completely irrelevant to my area and would damage it or do nothing. So we have Torie or Torie.
@@FullTimeGaming360 How about the Lib Dems? They're centrist (albeit in recent years they've been rather center-left in some areas), and I think they've recently been doing better than Labor and the other parties.
Personally I'm very much a Labor supporter, but recently I've been liking the Lib Dems more, simply because Labor is a mess at the moment.
Only hope is that they just don't vote
@@IIZCHAOS there is alot of smaller right wing parties. I think we need a strong right wing party and a strong left wing party to meet it. The Tories are basically free with what they can do as they don't have much competition as labour is just a weak mess. That's my view anyway
Agreed the Tories whatever they do, have at least the next two general elections in the bag. Like or loathe them there is no viable alternative. The way our voting works, a vote that isn’t for the Conservatives or Labour is a wasted vote. Most of the time it’s a two horse race, if you didn’t vote for the Tories you are helping Labour gain a seat, and vice versa. And nobody wants Labour lol. Whatever mess the Tories bungle through - you can be very confident that Labour would far surpass all levels of failure!
As a Labour supporter if Labour do not seriously reform their party... for all the peoole care, the Conservatives could bring in Marshall Law and turn the UK into a 3rd world country and still be voted in by a majority.
Reform to à more Blairite party or corbynite one?
Or people can try to overcome to two party bs and vote for another left party but that simply won’t work
@@irrelevance3859 we need to commit to a two party system or push for proportional representation. The abundance of parties on the centre / left works massively in favour of the Tories. I am amazed they haven't formed a proper alliance yet whereby only one candidate stands against the Tories in each seat. It seems to be Labour that are the problem in this regard. My personal preference would be for lab, libs and greens to reform with a center left bias and a very clear focus on climate change, anti corruption and the welfare economy. Get rid of the baggage and go forward with a new vigour and focus. We can all dream.
@@bothi00 Blairite I'd say. Excluding the Iraqi war (which has damaged Blair's reputation and New Labor generally), Tony Blair's parliament was probably the best we've had since the end of WW2 (possibly with the exclusion of Clement Attlee's Labo party). And as it was more Center Left rather than left, it attracted many more swing voters. Those swing votes are key to victory, and Corbyn and his followers simply don't attract swing voters
@@matthewharding6245 Well the logical end to your argument is for Labour and the Lib Dems to merge into one party. Pretty sound argument I'd say, but they are still two parties.
Arent there still millions of houses that aren’t being lived in across the UK? There are enough houses just not in the right areas at cheaper price.
Which is still a giant failure
Yes and no. There are a lot of empty properties but certainly not millions. Most of them are in the process of changing hands, i.e. being renovated before being resold. Many are not really fit for habitation or in undesirable areas where nobody would chose to move to.
There are plenty of second homes which are technically empty and many investment properties but neither of these are likely to be affected by any Tory policy.
It's one of those things where raw numbers sound large but when spread out per person it's not the issue it sounds like.
@@Spedley_2142 "It's one of those things where raw numbers sound large but when spread out per person it's not the issue it sounds like." Tell that to someone born in Devon or Cornwall who cant afford to buy in their home county because of grubby Londoners with their homes that they live in a few weeks a year
@@themasqueradingcow91 Wales, Yorkshire Dales and Lake District are the other two regions that are effected by this. There needs to be a change or there is a high chance languages will literally die out. Upper class should build their own homes here or their second ones should be taxed a stupid amount and that amount can be invested into building homes of good quality in those regions.
Cognitive dissonance is, unfortunately, a thing - Tory voters have a tendency to either ignore the consequences of their choices, or heap the blame onto those who try to oppose them...
Typical conservative mentality it is
same here in Germany :)
The sheer lack of houses they’ve built is astonishing.
All down to tory NIMBYism particularly the wealthier ones who are benefitting from their properties increasing in value.

Yes please include Australia - Sydney and Melbourne's house prices are skyrocketing
All countries that have a very high hurdle to build new houses. Obviously those countries will be massively unaffordable by design.
@@katielumley4150 The average price of a home in Canberra (my city) is 1 mil. Wtf.
Not being racist, but they import all the rich Indians and Chinese that then buy up all the houses. This leaves none for the lower classes, and no offence, but I ain’t going into govy housing.

As someone who's grown up in a housing crisis it'd be interesting to see why it's happening
Quantitative easing
Would the housing crisis be this severe without the vast amounts of immigration we've experienced over the past 25 years?
@@VPhantom-rf3qo dey tuk er JERRRBS
@@VPhantom-rf3qo probably not, but the economy would've massively suffered due to a lack of workers
@@VPhantom-rf3qo okay but seriously, we'd probably be in a similar position with lower immigration. Immigrants tend to work for lower wages and also tend towards skilled trades. Essentially this has the impact of reducing the cost of building houses due to lower labour costs. Less immigration = lower population, but also means houses are more expensive and fewer get built. The ratio of population:housing remains similar. What's making houses expensive at the moment is super low interest rates making it easy for landlords to vacuum up properties on low-cost buy to let mortgages
The problem with "Just build more houses" is that in my area new builds start at like £300k.
It's supply and demand. The issue is a lot of these expensive places know new houses are needed but don't want it in their area. So we then reach a stand off.
That is largely another symptom of government inefficiencies that are addressable. They could be half that if the government allowed it to be.
Also if u bought the 300k house and then the market was flooded and it dropped in price. It would annoy you
New builds depreciate in value immediately after you move in putting you in negative equity. We were going to buy a new build but found a property down the substantially bigger priced £80k less. Now our property has immediately jumped in price and if we would have bought the new build and something happened and we could no longer afford the mortgage we would be in debt by the thousands even if we sold. What’s also annoying is house flippers. It’s fucking wrong in my opinion to make a living off that. I often hear them saying “no one wants to buy a fixer upper, they can’t afford to do it up”. If the building needs repair and no one wants to live there then the market price is too high. It doesn’t need to be inflated by someone wanting to make a quick turn around and inflate prices.
New builds will be expensive. However, wealthy people will then just move into the new builds, allowing the older houses to drop in price. Right now, those wealthy people are just buying the older houses, driving their prices up.
I would love a housing crisis video. This is pretty much the first national crisis that is directly affecting me and a lot of people I know my age (apart from C19 obviously) so I would love to hear TLDR's thoughts on how we got here, how it's affecting the country, and the ways it may play out. Thanks and keep up the amazing work!
I was so close to having the deposit together for a mortgage just before the pandemic and now I'm almost priced out of the slim pickings that are actually on offer now...
Same as me. Have a very healthy deposit but the prices have gone up so much we can no longer afford to buy. All we want is a 2 bedroom semi detached with a garden for £200K. In 2000 my mum bought a four bedroom semi detached for £56k. It's nuts how expensive it is now. Yet a bag of haribo has been £1 for about 30 years
that's cus the government have devalued the currency via QE
@@RIO-wz8gq same it’s a struggle the house prices have become inflated. Our generation is screwed
and it's even under media silence that mortgages constitutionally don't exist - courtchangewordpresscomslash security-of-tenure
Yes, housing prices would be very interested to learn about
You need to understand how we have a terrible banking system, probably the worst type of banking system you could design, this is the root cause of many of our problems,
I’d love to think the tories can lose but I’ll believe when I see it
“I play both sides, so I’ll always come out on top”
How? By voting for nobody and then saying "I never voted for them" after the election...😉🤣
@@ianl1052 I was thinking more TLDR making videos for Conservatives going to win, and then one about Conservatives going to lose
It’s that kind of thinking that will make you head of security at Paddy’s.
Spending money to benefit everyone is a harrowing thought to the conservatives
It’s not their money. It’s our money. And they seem to be quite comfortable taking it and spending it.
@@frankie7529 yeah, spending it on shitty contracts for their mates or just shitty contracts. They’re idiots. They’ll happily spend billions on shit that doesn’t work rather than on their own population as an investment to grow the economy
Its also important to understand that monetary policy and low interest rates meant that older generations were more likely to buy another house as a rental to fund their old age as all other investments were highly risky and not offering returns, so that is part of the problem.
Yes a housing crisis video! It would explain the problem that young people face to old people! 👍
Would the housing crisis be this severe without the vast amounts of immigration we've experienced over the past 25 years?

Not really, there are 6 times more empty homes than homeless people. it's that homes are owned by massive renting agencies that know they make more money by renting them out rather than selling
@@ILikedGooglePlus If there wasn't the demand people wouldn't buy them though
@@ILikedGooglePlus The issue of the housing crisis isn't really about homeless people, it's about hosing mobility of those already in homes (either renting or at home).
@1000v Ghost We haven't had a particularly vast amount of immigration, and there's enough land to build on to support the amount of people coming in anyway (which we want to do, because an aging population needs a solid rate of immigration to increase the future tax base). The issue is home owners/NIMBY's blocking planning reform which is leading to massive shortfalls of housing stock.
My prediction would be a smaller Conservative majority in 2024, maybe they’d get about 340 seats, a slim Conservative majority or a hung Parliament in 2029 and a Labour minority in 2034.
If Labour continue going the way they are, it will be a conservative minority in 2034, Labour minority in 2039, Labour minority in 2044, and Labour majority in 2049. They need a Tony Blair kind of change ...
@@armstrongtixid6873 2034 will be very much pushing it as by that point the boomer generation will be 74-89 years old. That is already starting to go above the average age of the country and that is most reliable conservative voter base
@@stacyharrington504 Also, the younger generation was massively Labor under Corbyn. Sure, thousands of them don't like Starmer. But I don't think they will vote Conservative. They are socialists.
@@stacyharrington504 exactly, the Tories might start becoming more populist which would gather younger support for example
It's not predictable IMO, the media will find a way to discredit whoever they don't want in power. Since people will follow what their media tells them.
Well we will see if this stands the test of time.
‘Maintain the levels of current social care’ - in truth social care and the NHS are completely battered and on their knees. Maybe a video about the real state of these institutions would highlight this?
Update: to reflect the honest level of investment needed to not only sustain but improve services, staffing crisis, the mental health of doctors and nurses and the lack of support therein. This isn’t catasrophising if it’s already a catastrophe.
I find it easier to imagine a conservative victory at the next election:
- Leading by a wide margin; and these concerns can be glossed over with favourable headlines.
- Opposition parties would need to massively improve their image to stand a chance at competing; let alone winning the 2024 election.
- And it's a long way off, the political landscape is ever changing.
Of I were a Tory I'd wouldn't wait until 2024. I'd hope for covid to subside as vaccinations progress and go for an early 2022 election.
This will age well or badly
Not being mean, but that's a REALLY analytical comment😂
Ah but their other video will age an equal amount in the opposite direction. So on average, they'll be neutral :p
there might be day or night where you live
Hedging your bets!
There's no way the Tories will fix any of these issues. What they'll most likely do is waste tax payers money on propaganda billboards to regain voters.
Definitely would like a housing crisis video, it seems like it’s a big issue in loads of countries lately, it’s definitely a massive problem here in Ireland.
Is it for similar reasons as the UK? Mainly slow planning permits, often because of NIMBY ism?
Is it across rural / suburbs and cities? I know Dublin prices flew up and back down in the late 00s. Has it recovered?
@@danielwebb8402 Nope, Dublin is still suuuper expensive, and it’s not a great city to live in either, because of planning laws most of the housing is single family unit sprawl that people have to commute hours into Dublin from. I suspect because of everyone working from home, people will move back to rural areas where there family is originally from and housing prices will fall a little.
@@niamhcosgrave9545
That is what is happening here. London prices rising slower than places a further commute away than people traditionally train in from. Exactly as you say, if commuting in 2 days a week rather than 5 you will eat an 80 minute rather than 45 min train.
Here in Germany too, though probably less so than in the UK or Ireland.
Let the writers do a video on the housing crisis, otherwise I’ll do nothing, because under the new laws, I cannot protest.
Taking 1p from 66M people would raise £6B? What?
Pour money jnto the nhs and a green new deal, it will pay off.
I'm not sure that a "conservative" in The USA is the same as a "Conservative" in The UK so I'm taking that American study with a pinch of salt.
Conservatives in the UK would be considered far-left communists in the US
Indeed, both our conservatives and our labour would be classed as left wing to central democrats.
I wouldn't, the same trend it explains is definitely visible in the UK.
American "conservatives" if you'll even call them conservatives are simply classical liberals and whiggists. Nothing conservative about them really. Our conservative party has some whig roots due to the merge with liberal unionists in the late 1800s but they mostly descend from a real conservative tory philosophy.
I disagree with above comments. American Conservatives would be more hard core, and strong in their beliefs. UK Conservatives would be comparable to centrists, but not the left. Only Labour and Lib Dem’s would be classed as left wing and bordering commies!
Feel like there should've been an uncomfortably long pause after the line where you said the Tories need to spend more on funding the NHS....
I'd say about 300 million a week..
As someone who works in the housing industry I would love for y’all to do a video on the housing crisis!
Vote Labour you get a Britain in Crisis votes conservative you get a Britain in Crisis
We've had a sub-replacement birth rate in the UK since the mid 1970's, so there are two measures that would make housing dramatically more affordable.
First, do what the voters have been demanding for decades and cut immigration to a trickle - with a total ban on receiving public money for at least 5 years.
Secondly, get rid of housing benefits (make them obsolescent if needs be) because it simply transfers taxpayers money to rich landlords via the poor, allowing them to buy up affordable property and hereby push the price up out of the reach of young families.
Yet another person who sees immigrants on social benefits as the cause of the issues. Firstly, the vast majority of immigrants are actually hardworking, as they often need to provide for their family abroad. Secondly, cut with that false class conscience. Your real ebemy is not the next poor guy on benefits, but the large, monstrous corporations and the rich who don't pay nearly enough taxes.
@@lightlight5317 Absolute horseshite!
The vast majority of "third world" migrants are either not working or are a net drain on the economy because they take more out in benefits, public housing, tax credits, healthcare and education costs than they contribute by working - a problem that is only compounded if they are sending some portion of their income "home".
Weird that for all your silly rhetoric about "monstrous corporations and the rich", it is the "monstrous corporations and the rich" whose policy "wants" align with those of the Labour Party in the UK and the Democrats in the US.
Open borders and cheap imported labour that pushes down the wages or the working class? Oh yes, sign the "monstrous corporations and the rich" up for that.
HEY, JACK - LET THE WRITERS DO THE HOUSING CRISIS OR WE UNSUB
In general I don't think people see labour as an creditable alternative so the conservatives can only lose this by their own actions .
Making a good go of it though.
Agreed. Any other time I'd argue that just attacking without credible alternatives is a crap opposition strategy, but then I'm not sure any other strategy wouldn't be worse. It's not only a problem in the UK.
I think that might be among your demographic perhaps, it's very different from my own experience.
@@MindSurf248 Happy to hear your thoughts .....
If Starmer isn't removed by real Labour people soon Tories will unfortunately win next election in England. All London parties are toast in Scotland and northern Ireland.
I agree with that. Also, younger ppl located in England (including myself) tend to prefer Nicola Sturgeon to Starmer. I also wonder what if we had Jezza now rather than before - pretty sure Labour would be polling better and young ppl wouldn’t be looking at a future in Scotland as much as they are now.
Tory voters right now : oh no.. this can't be...
Here's one homeowner who would never vote tory ffs.
Same - I've recently moved to an area that's heavily Conservative, too! Being a homeowner changes nothing in terms of who I would or wouldn't vote for
@@lancem8713 why don't you want low taxes?
Why?
And me!
@@millevenon5853 Yes because taxes are literally the one factor in politics. Also the Tories can't guarantee low taxes anymore because of the pandemic
I'm from Europe and been to some parts of the UK and I could say I haven't seen much apartments/flats other than London and major city centers. I think the UK needs to build more apartments rather than single family homes to fix the housing crises. Why apartments, because they are cheaper to build, cheaper to maintain and houses a lot of people at once so they don't take up much land space and therefor becomes cheaper to buy and rent. But to do this the whole British mindset has to change. Because at some point I asked a Brit why there where not many apartments in the UK compared to mainland Europe; He told me: The Brits don't like apartments because apartments are generally ugly looking and have much more criminality because of low social status people living there''. I think most Brits think apartments are all like the council flats of the UK were generally lower social status people live but that is not the case in most European countries. There are a lot of people in Europe who are middle class and upper living in apartments rather than single family homes including me. So its doable.
PS: Hope you Brits fix your housing crises because everybody needs an affordable home which does not suck more than 1/3 of your monthly net income.
I don't think that's the average opinion in the UK to be honest. Everyone knows there are very expensive flats in the cities and commuter towns. Infact, they're often bought as assets by foreign investors (look at many new luxury high rises in London in the evening - lights off, empty). Assoiating them just with "poor people" is ignorance and stupid. I live in a flat in London, but I want a house. Why? I miss having a garden. We like gardens, and we like gardens with privacy. I don't want to have to constantly share outdoor space with non household residents in communal areas like my building has - the kids play in it, so you get no peace.
The saying "an Englishman's home is his castle" is just about that. Privacy, peace and freedom to do whatever without having to ask the landloard or other residents. In the cities, I agree build more flats in the busiest places, but build them affordable and look after them properly.
Which country in Europe exactly?
Housing crisis would be good. But I do watch evert video on every channel so it doesn’t matter to me what you do, I’ll watch them anyway
Would really be interested in a housing crisis video - including the analysis problem of the thousands of homes that are currently sitting empty and derelict.
Great job guys, love Your channel !
I WOULD LIKE A HOUSING CRISIS VIDEO PLES
There needs to be a new centre left movement similar to New Labour back in the 90s.
I can’t imagine anything worse than new labour. Backed by murdoch and defended the rich. Less of that. Labour need to go back to their working class roots and fight for the little man
Do people really want a middle of the road centrist party right now? We have become very divided on issues like brexit, woke/cancel culture and patriotism etc. I don't see much appetite for pragmatism and compromise. People are too used to their echo chambers on social media to accept other people with different views.
@@pjmathison9787 yeah much better with Bojo running things
What about the Social Democrat Party? The SDP could do quite well in the North I think. They need more funding and publicity though.
@@matt7192 or how about Change UK? If we're talking failed centrist parties.
I feel like we really need an alternative party to vote for. This oscillation between Red and Blue isn't good for Britain. First past the post needs to go in favour of PR.
Absolutely. The Tories will never abandon FPTP as it always benefits them, but I hope some sort of Labour/Green/Lib Dem alliance could force PR through one day. Probably wishful thinking given the current state of the Labour party but it's one of the few things that gives me a small amount of hope. Another decade of the Tories and I'll probably give up and move somewhere my vote actually counts.
@@lastdreamofhome I prefer STV/AV to full on PR - there's still value to having a local representative, particularly if they need to get at least the grudging approval of half the voters.
But, yeah, FPTP only really works properly in a strict 2-party system, where it's equivalent to STV/AV.
Agreed absolutely
@@lastdreamofhome it also benefits labour heavily which is why they won’t change it either.
Got married 4 years ago, have 1 child and am buying a house. Strangely, I don't find myself any more conservative...
'the UK of the future will be more ethnically diverse' how much more diverse could it get?? we are already one of the most diverse countries in the world.
Trends suggest minority indigenous within the next few decades, unfortunately
@@Coldyham unlikely, i imagine measures will be put in place to reverse the current trend, with how the US looks like theyll likely be doing a load of 'landback' bs and deporting loads of people, rest of the world will follow suit, anyone not of high value that has a foreign nationality will be deported aka, millions of US deported to England, loads of South Africans to England. Probably the best solution for the entire world? less attacks, every country more united.
@@v_cpt-phasma_v689 I wouldn't rely on Western governments working for the best interests of our people, at least not over the interests of a particularly chosen people
Dont worry about the houses, the Tories have that all sorted with their push for box homes with no garden for £225k. Buy your box now! And be sure to jump up and down because you can forget soundproofing.
Wow, a box of my very own for a quarter mil? Is that plastic or cardboard?
To fix the Housing Crisis, just bring back Doggerland from the sea!
Unfortunately, due to rising sea-level, that is unlikely... unless we dam off the English Channel and North Sea 🤔
4:09 The NHS waiting lists have gotten absolutely awful, even before the pandemic. I was referred to the Gender Identity Development Service over 2 years ago, and the only contact I've ever had from them was them telling me I was now too old, and had to be referred to the adult clinic instead.
Theres a chance I might not be seen for another 3 years, in which case I'll have to go private.
People (politicians in particular) need to stop pretending the NHS is perfect and actually come to terms with its problems and find a solution that works for as many people as possible.

Tories reasons for losing: two semi difficult policies and the fact that young people hate them
Labour reasons for losing: they are literally all but extinct
I know plenty of young people that vote for them, Labour are that unappealing
Labour loses because it has never sorted its identity issues. The fact that it is really two parties within one: A social democratic and a centre-right one. The latter constantly focusing and wasting energy on killing the former. Slowly becoming more and more irrelevant as, yet again, the former side starts to move towards the Greens again. If it weren't for FPTP voting system, neither Cons nor Labour would be such a weird amalgamation of contradictions.
Yet again, if Labour gets its shit together and starts having some policies, you know, like the ones that they had in 2019 that were supremely popular, maaaaybe there's a chance there. As they stand with Wet Wipe Stammer, no chance.
@@iancooketapia disagree that Labour could compete even with their “act together.” No doubt Starmer is a wet wipe neoliberal Blairite with no policies and no personality. The issue is Labour weren’t much better under Corbyn despite the fact that he was a likeable, caring, charismatic activist with big, imaginative policy goals.
Realistically neither side of Labour are ever going to be more popular than the Tories in England, as any version of Labour ever really is. The loss of Scotland has really effectively doomed Labour no matter which faction is in control

Sounds like wishful thinking there. None of these "reasons" are going to come into effect unless there is a viable alternative for voters, and the opposition isn't there.
literally any party would do better now by a mile.
@@kanedNunable Except we know that isn't the case. Everything the Tories have done, Labour are on record as saying they would do even more of that. More lockdown, more restrictions, more emergency laws, more mass immigration, etc etc.
Then you get to enjoy their Woke pandering, BLM worship, and renaming everything to multi culti the past as well as the future.
Labour have lost it, and they have lost their voters, they should never be elected to govern ever ever gain.

What happened to the £350M per week that was supposed to go to the NHS after Brexit? 😳
Theresa May’s government did it, pledging an extra 384 million pounds a week by 2023. Also Johnson’s government wiped out 14 billion of nhs debt.
@@adrianaspbury2970 You don't seriously believe in the government's smoke and mirrors when it comes to funding the NHS do you? Nobody is that naïve.
The amount of switched cause and effect would win every election.
lol there are enough empty houses to house everyone. Its just most are owned by someone who already has a house.
its easy to fund the NHS, just cut spending on defense. they managed to find billions more for that.
Literally redistribution on money. Theres so many liabilities on where the money is spent. War is one of them.

"people will be more educated which will be bad for the Torries"
Lmao pretty much, my politics degree changed E V E R Y T H I N G
Usually the more educated the more apathetic one become
I thought the labour fought for the workingclass, which many doesnt have a good education
@@genibollen7274 It's difficult to quite map this onto Britain, because its FPTP voting system skews things a lot, but generally, what you see is the working class or those who associate themselves with it voting for social democrats (which in Britain would be Labour), while the higher educated tend to vote for liberal democrats (which in Britain would be, insert drumroll here, the LibDems) or environmentalists (the Greens in Britain). Because Britain's voting system makes it very unlikely for the LibDems or especially the Greens to win in most constituencies though, these voters are effectively forced to choose either Labour or Conservatives, with most ending up voting Labour.
Not only should you do a video on the housing crisis in the UK, but also do one with the general global housing crisis. It is simply unbelievable just how expensive it is becoming to own a house in Canada; one of our major East-coast cities, Halifax, just had its first-ever bidding war a while back, which almost never happens, and it's becoming a real problem for so many people wanting to buy a new home!
Great video thank you 👍
please don't let this be false hope, I'm just longing for this shit show of tory rule to end
Great video! Let's hope the left parties can get it together to take advantage of these issues.
they could also fund the nhs with all that money they've been forking out to their mates
Housing Crisis video would be ace, but please cover issues arising from inequality across the UK, in particular the issue of second homes on rural areas and buy-to-Airbnb in cities. Thanks and great video!
As a non-Brit it's really strange to hear conservative voters being against developing the environment and left-wing voters being in favour of it. I suppose that's the result of being on an highly populated island and not having much environment to go around.
What country are you from, and what do left/right-wing people think in your country?

I think we need to acknowledge the rise of foreign investors and airbnb type investment in the housing crisis... People in a lot of areas can't afford houses because "investors" are buying them for silly money which destroys the local area and drives up prices... Forgone investors should be restricted as they do in Scandinavia, Spain etc and people should have to pay increasing levels of tax for multiple properties...
They could save their asses big time by reforming drug policy. It’s basically a free lunch for something like cannabis
This is definitely unpopular with the rural homeowning conservative base.
Cannabis isn't the vote winner you think it is.
@@emizerri not cannabis alone but overall drug policy reform will in the long run free up insane amounts of revenue and time better spent, it’s again unlikely as it’s all against the conservative home owning voter base and wouldn’t be ideal for them initially but it’s more of a let the evidence speak for itself sort of thing. But again it’s unlikely

Yeah people treat politics like reality tv sadly
I don't think social care is an issue.
Labour has been ranting about the Conservatives "selling off" the NHS for about 8 years now, none of it has actually happened.
All we've seen is private contracting, which Labour has used in the past too.
Housing prices are a serious issue for them though, as is their insistence on taking in large numbers of immigrants.
You may want to check their current bill for the NHS.....
