Unlike the debunked “millionaire exodus”, Britain’s young workers really are leaving in droves— 174,000+ since March 2024.
The motor of our economy walking away is a crisis that really should worry us.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Britain's housing market has been broken by years of government inaction on building genuinely affordable homes, exploitative landlords, rip-off rents and stagnant wages.
We urgently need rent controls and the biggest council house building programme in generations to end this crisis.
