As Gillian Tett/FT concludes (and which would seem to explain some of Reform UK's success):
'the grim truth is that there is almost nothing as likely to hurt faith in capitalism and spark anti-elite populism — on both right and left — as a lack of housing'!

When people cannot find a secure home they get angry!
