Decades of mismanagmement of the housing situation in the UK is now coming home to roost. The labour party ignored the growing crisis because it didn't want to alienate a property owning middle class and now finds itself facing a revolt among the under 35s who perceive it as toadying to the comfortably smug.

And all their prescriptions about affordable housing fall by the wayside if any new housing stock is snapped up by buy-to-rent owners who get better mortgage deals than those who want to live in them. Trouble is that too many MPs are fairly wealthy multiple home owners who'd never vote against their own personal financial interests.
