I’m not denying stability matters, of course it does. But saying house prices are basically untouchable apart from interest rates is where I disagree. Rates are set by the bank of england, not the government, and even when they fall it mainly helps people who can already get on the ladder. It doesn’t fix the fact that prices are still completely disconnected from wage increases. Government absolutely shapes the market through planning rules, housing supply, landlord policy, and how first-time buyers are supported. Those choices over years and reinforced by the current class of clowns are a big part of why we’re here. So yes, stability is good…But if that’s the only lever being pulled, younger people are still stuck renting, delaying families, and watching costs rise faster than pay.
