Maybe all sorts of stuff. That's the beauty of reducing almost your entire plan for government to an inane three word, four syllable slogan. (That and a promise to increase the living wage, which has now been downgraded to an aspiration.)This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

another pre-election tory promise bites the dust https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/po...dyHISqWZA0hiOA
Tories break promise on minimum wage hike just a week into their administration
The news will come as a bitter blow to the blue collar workers who reportedly 'lent' their vote to the Conservatives in this election.
The Conservatives pledged to hike the minimum wage to £10.50 an hour within five years in its manifesto, but today’s Queen’s Speech includes a cheeky get-out clause.
The increase will now only happen “provided economic conditions allow”.
they didn't half suck some suckers in eh although i suspect those who voted tory already knew they were lying, their leader doesn't know how not to lie, the english trumpLast edited by cabbageandribs1875; 19-12-2019 at 04:16 PM.

I'm so pleased I no longer live in the UK. The utter selfishness, aligned with gullibility of the voting public is breathtaking.

It will happen following the 2020 crash and a steep rise in inflation.
I tried to warn people about this pledge. You never ever trust government when they make pledges in money terms as opposed to real terms. People earning £10.50 an hour in five years time will be worse off finanically compared to those earning £8.21 an hour right now.

There is no doubt buying a house now is harder due to the above inflation / salary rises in housing over the decades and now with the stricter affordability tests.
That said interest rates are mega lower so the long term costs may not be overly different <dunno>.

Funnily enough going into the EU was one of the things that stabilized, and lowered them.

Conditions are definitely improving for first time buyers. They now make up biggest portion of mortgage lending in UK, with numbers back to pre 2008 levels. Lenders are also lending more at higher LTVs of 90 and 95% which also helps.

It’s not affordability that is the problem just now for young people, it’s getting the deposit. With low interest rates, most of them are probably paying more in rent than the mortgage payment would be anyway.
To buy in Edinburgh just now requires about a £30k deposit and that’s a lot for young people to save up.

It was the point about assuming about the "stuff" I'm going to be coming out with next that I had a problem with, assuming that I'm going along with anything the Unionist parties say about how the 2014 vote was once in a generation stuff. The SNP are the largest party in Scotland by a considerable distance and I accept that their popularity along with the fact that the political landscape has shifted significantly enough in the last 5 years that another vote is probably justified.
They won't be winning any referendum with 46% of the vote though so they'll need to convince everyone who voted for them and the Greens the other week to vote for independence AND get another 4.01% who voted for one of the Unionist parties to vote for independence.
It's not outwith the realms of possibilities but I'm not sure it's necessarily as much of a given that Nicola Sturgeon et al think that it is.

Just read this. A good common sense approach to the mortgage crisis.

I'm not saying it's easy to get a mortgage, I'm simply pointing out that the myth of renting being a lot more expensive than paying a mortgage isn't true, they're both pretty similar and sometimes renting is cheaper.
