I'm never going to vote for this guy because of his transphobia, but there's a lot to agree with here:

People are told Britain is succeeding while they cannot afford a home, and that opportunity exists even though their children face lower living standards than their parents enjoyed. They are told to work harder while wealth accumulates ever-more narrowly at the top. And they notice the unfairness.

I actually thought this was a satire article. My second thought was is this the Streeting/Blair good cop bad cop act but so of them are so far up their own backsides they would argue over who gets to be bad cop.

Next he will be out cuddling an obligatory poor person (I actually think of that as the poor person who gets roped in) before streeting is quickly chauffeured home to scrub himself into oblivion.

I would really like to see these people have to spend a week helping and sleeping in homeless shelters....but the homeless have enough bad luck
