If we are looking for a source of the Conservatives woes then the Chesham & Amersham by-election provides the case study, not because the Party lost a safe seat but because of why it thinks it lost
It seems odd to discuss housing in London without reference to the market distortion from the vast sums of taxpayers’ money used to pay housing benefit to keep unemployed people in some of the most expensive housing in the world, hence precluding many working young people from living near their place of work.
None of the parties have any political vision at all. They believe in nothing, have no principles and their only thought is the next gotcha and getting elected, but what then?
Locally we have people who are living in houses 20-35 years old built on green belt campaigning to stop any houses being built near them and we have ordinary people being squeezed into ever smaller spaces in HMOs in the urban centre to the point where it's causing so many problems the council are looking at having to license multi occupancy houses of 5 as HMOs because it's causing multiple problems. There is no ladder in the UK for anyone at bottom. No hope, no escape and no home and no party cares.

The problem he doesn’t mention is the unnecessary pressure on housing caused by mass migration. Let’s fix this first otherwise we will end up concreting over our beautiful landscapes
The 'Elephant in the Room' on this subject is the flood of 'the unwanted' a) occupying housing stock which normally would be available to our children, b) the rhetoric about 'nationalism is bad'.
How and for what do we strive for these days? How can we grow when the tax burden grows every day a boat lands on our shores? How do we feel safe in our towns when the demographic changes continually?
Based on this reality - what dream do we dare to dream?
With current DEI policies entrenched in the NHS and corporates - how can I, the toughest mother, enthuse, motivate, my 27 year old straight white son?
