Isn't that already the case to some degree? Not just the Tories, but pretty much all but a few fringe parties seem happy to make decent food and accommodation a luxury. For example: https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2018/11/08/e...

The American right wing already believes food is a luxury: https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/10681363932375572...

#5My advice to "millenials" (well I think technically I'm one, so let's say younger ones) is to stay the hell away from London. I read these articles on the housing crisis and staggering rent amounts and wonder am I even living in the same country as these people.

Many places outside of big cities are depopulating, have few decent jobs and services, and are still pretty expensive. If you are from the areas, have a family or an already decent career it might work, but for the majority it isn't a solution. And if people would actually would start moving somewhere else instead the same things would happens there.

There are still a lot of places in the UK outside of London that have plenty of jobs and are far more affordable.

Not really. Unless everyone moves to the same place. We need to diversify from London. Having everything centred there is madness.

I live in Nottingham. There are tonnes of tech jobs here in the Midlands, and housing is quite affordable.

> stay the hell away from London
Will somewhat agree living in London, but I'd also throw Oxford into the mix as somewhere to avoid. I found the relative cost of living noticeably worse in Oxford (salary vs living costs) than compared to London.
Essentially the main point being: really evaluate the cost of living, salary, lifestyle matrix before committing. Lots of other places in the UK offering much better options right now.
