The UK can't build its way out of the housing crisis. It's much more complicated than that. The disparity between income and market prices for starters.

...the disparity between income and market prices is exacerbated by a lot of factors, but driven by a lack of supply. If you build more, prices come down. That's how economics works.

This is wildly misreading the piece? It talks about the Tories going back on a manifesto promise and how the BBC can either cut its funding for loads of channels or do this. It doesn’t say to focus on this over young people’s issues? But sure, go off on a young female writer.

It's true that the government is forcing the decision into the hands of the BBC. And that's wrong. But the framing of that tweet is disastrous. And I'm a young female writer. Doesn't mean I agree with everything that every other young woman writes. Thank goodness.

...yes, because it means poor young workers won't be paying to subsidise wealthy pensioners? Where do you think taxes come from?

Most wealthy pensioners I know are paying tax on their pensions, and have paid tax all their lives.

Interesting, would you ever say “dear” to a male writer?
