Aside from student fees, being able to buy your own home is increasingly unaffordable to the younger generation as wages simply have not kept up with house price inflation – if they're lucky enough to have a job that pays sufficiently to get a mortgage in the first place. It's ever so slowly dawning on some of the more moderate Conservatives, helped by a GE result that they most definitely weren't expecting, that if their party is unable to help people meet the party's own key, fundamental principles of supporting “hardworking people” - as they continually bang on about - and a home-owing meritocracy, then they need a serious rethink of whatever their current strategy may be in order to engage younger voters.

I know Phil Hammond is slightly to the left of Rees Mogg but "Marxist Wanker" is a bit much.

Hammond and May it doesn't get any more grey. They make John Major look like PT Barnum

I do like how for the most part when stumped they feel a silly Gif or pic or maybe a bit of a personal insult will do.............I mean Jeremy Corbyn is invoking Marxism yet doesn't appear to be the head of a Marxist nor communist party. What the right don't get is that all this throwing mud around that is unfounded calling people Marxist, invoking the 1970's claiming that its relevant for today and calling Paul Mason a Gauleiter is just water off a ducks back and is the exact type of politics that turned off so many voted at the GE. Long may it continue and as the shoot themselves in the foot they can blame it all on the left.

I think they call it fear.
Its good to have an alternative and huge majorities dont do it for me. I think corbyn has sparked an interest but instead of listening to what he has to say we get the propaganda and the lemmings duly following with their balaclava and marxist/70's onslaught. I used to listen to may and thought she may make a difference but she wont even engage beyond set piece choreagraphed interviews which says much about her.

I am no different to most on here. Working class lad. Why would I not want what Corbyn is selling if I thought it would work? I am quite lucky in that if Labour got in at least in the short term I would be better off.

In terms of a general election or brexit I have no fear. I will be fine either way. In fact blue moon off topic seems a bit of a bubble. I don't know anyone panicking at all.

What has changed? Has there ever been an occurence of young people being able to afford homes easily? Lets not forget in the past interest rates were pushing past 15%... Did wages grow at 15%? I can't believe for one second that a working couple cannot afford a house and not just a house but any house.

Go to any music festival or shopping centre and there never seems to be any shortage of money being spent by young people. I have never seen a poor young person who can't afford an iPhone that is for sure. I have seen some of them with the latest iPhone yet I am working full time on a decent job and still have a knackered 5C... I know some people my age who say they can't afford a house but they pay £40 a month for the gym, £40 a month for their phone, £200+ a month for their car...

Case in point is Glastonbury where you had thousands of students crying about their crippling debts and poverty along with crying about their inability to afford houses in front of comrade Corbyn. Still though they were all poor enough that they managed to afford the £150+ ticket...

It seems to me something else is at work and I think some are far too self-entitled and are more inclined to turn their noses up at the houses they CAN afford. This is why you will always hear students say they want more affordable housing and NOT more council housing... They aren't stupid are they!

As debt goes, student debt is the best debt you can have. It's relative to your income and if your under a certain threshold you don't pay anything at all. The majority of students don't pay off their debt, and thus the tax payer foots the bill. Any student who goes to University and moans about the cost is ridiculous.

I do believe however that the costs of each course needs to be addressed.

Every Uni course should have it's costs based on resource needed to run the course (including text books, the fact students have to buy these separately is madness), expected future income and status of the University (Status based on academic results achieved for that course/subject). Then the cost would be subject to what the course is essentially providing, a better future.
