We need to build more council housing. Getting on the housing ladder is impossible now for anyone in the service or retail sectors. Totally agree there. I think when they price these houses nowadays they forget there are an awful lot of people who work for quite mediocre salaries in certain sectors. |

Salaries are suppressed because of the amount of cheap labour available. The same issue that causes the demand for houses, public services etc in the first place.

Looking at his CV since leaving Chester FC looks as thought he is the sort of person we could do with on the Board or as a Special Adviser.

Lack of investment in infrastructure has lead to chronically low productivity and that has suppressed salaries. Labour market is what you’d expect with an ageing population. |

Look at the numbers, the population increases that are almost entirely due to immigration are unsustainable. Supply & demand is the overriding deciding factor on price & supply is saturated. There is no amount of investment that can keep up with the amount of people entering the country. |

You need workers and the younger generation being shafted by boomers means there aren’t enough of them. Look at the birth rate. British people aren’t having kids enough kids and the population starts to become very top heavy very quickly. Hence why immigration exists. It’s an oversimplification to blame immigration when a lot of people over the age of 50 have a house that has trebled in value over the last 30 years. Don’t know what you mean when you say supply is saturated? There isn’t enough supply of housing, and for the jobs market there is a reasonably high level of demand for workers? 10% of businesses are still reporting labour shortages? |

There is not enough financial incentive for 'families' to have multiple children. Most adults need to work to keep their head above water, to pay expensive rents and mortgages because of the housing crisis. The latter costs are directly affected by increased immigration pushing up prices because of supply/demand factors. It's no surprise that generally those who have 4+ children are supported heavily by benefits. |

Lack of investment in infrastructure has lead to chronically low productivity and that has suppressed salaries. Labour market is what you’d expect with an ageing population. Half-right. The choice was to grow GDP through immigration rather than productivity through investment. Driving through France at the moment and there are factories everywhere. We've been outsourcing high productivity manufacturing jobs for 30 years and replaced the output with sheer numbers of low productivity service sector jobs. It's incredibly sad, I worked in the sector for 25 years and our energy and labour costs are so much higher than Eastern Europe and Asia so we're in a bit of a dead-end. |

It's no surprise that generally those who have 4+ children are supported heavily by benefits. Immigration has contributed 21% towards house price growth in England, according to analysis by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. But MHCLG also says the data doesn’t provide a complete answer and should be used cautiously. It found that income growth is the biggest driver of increased house prices. English house prices have risen by 320% on average over this period. |

But post Brexit, the only thing keeping the UK economy from totally collapsing is the service industry as exporting of goods is now fucked. Whole economy needs a rethink. |

I mean supply of labour is saturated. The Tories were chucking out visas for care workers & students who were bringing over family members. This creates huge demand for things like housing, school places, doctor’s appointments & adds very little to the economy while also enabling employers to keep wages low because there’s a glut of low skilled labour prepared to work for those low wages. |

Who are all these low skilled workers prepared to work for low wages? They don't come from the EU, they don't come from this country and when farmers etc put up wages to fill huge vacancies for pickers etc from local workers they got the square root of zilch. I'm stumped. |

I'm stumped. Because people coming from 3rd world countries don’t want to live & work in rural areas for the most part. They want to reside in cities, the care sector, food delivery etc is overwhelmingly staffed by them. I agree this is off topic at this point however so I’ll make this my last reply. |
