My favorite thing about this chart is that the median homebuyer age rose from 39 in 2005 to 59 in 2025

20 years over 20 years

It’s literally the same people buying the homes two decades later

My grandfather bought an apartment from Blackrock on a 200 year mortgage.

1 bed, 1 bath, no car.

My family has been paying it off for 80 years now. We're nearly half way there.

We're so grateful that we're not renting.

And in just 2 more generations, we'll own it outright.

We've only paid $8.6 million in interest. The apartment was $500k initially.

The apartment's downtown, near GloboCorp where my grandfather used to work.

He died at his desk and they forgot to tell us about it.

We found out a few weeks later, only because Blackrock starting chasing us for mortgage payments.

Sometimes I get sad knowing that I won't see the apartment paid off in my lifetime.

But I know we're building Generational Wealth, so that's OK.

Tax thresholds frozen, student loan grown by 10k since graduating, cutting ISAs, astronomical rents, pension contributions taxed. Is there any financial hope for a 30-year-old in Britain?

[Ed @ebullienteddie]

So after paying for my uni tuition that the boomers got for free, I now have to pay tax on my pension contributions when the boomers didn't, just to make sure that the boomers get an even more generous state pension with their final salary pensions, of which I will get neither.

💡Unite's report finds that energy companies made £30 billion profit in 2024. £500 of the average household energy bill goes on pure profit. About a third. Why is the government not looking at this? #profiteering

*The most pathetic thing I've seen in parliament, ever*

Dawn Butler MP says Sarah Pochin MP's iss racist

Deputy Speaker tells her off and tells her to withdraw the remark

Butler repeats, Pochin is racist

Deputy Speaker tells her off again for calling another MP a racist

Butler repeats what Pochin said and says that is a racist comment

Deputy Speaker says its not the comment, but the fact that you called another MP racist

Butler, "You're giving me deja vu. I appreciate in this house we have to be respectful and not call MPs what they actually are. The comment is a racist comment. It's strange I can't call her out for being a racist, having made a racist comment"

Deputy Speaker, "Please, time and time again, please consider withdrawing the comment about a member of this house being a racist"

Butler, "I don't want to be thrown out of parliament again. So I will withdraw the fact that I am referring to the member of parliament as a racist because of her racist comment"

Deputy Speaker waffles on for a bit

How tragic for our democracy that it is more important to be polite about an MP than to point out that the MP is a racist based on actual racist remarks from said MP

Since 2015, Wes Streeting has accepted £372,000 from private health care links!

This should be a illegal for a health secretary in charge of the NHS.

There’s a clear conflict of interest & raises concerns re: probity & integrity

Who is the health secretary really working for?

[Sean Biggerstaff @Seanchuckle]

Tikka Masala was invented in Glasgow, battered and fried fish was brought here and by Jewish immigrants from the Iberian peninsula, and we've been getting spices from India since before we knew that the Americas - where potatoes come from - existed. Racism rots your brain.

Is this currently correct for Reform councillors?
7 resigned
4 defected
6 sacked
5 suspensions/expulsions
4 are under criminal investigation
5 did not even show up to an election
1 done for getting money from Russia

The ones that are left are ex torries
