Of course they should be able to own a house - but is an increase in NI, an increase that will disproportionately affect younger people yet to get on the housing ladder themselves the fairest way to do it?
Social care needs reform, but this blanket proposal has a 27 year old on £25k a year, already paying rent and therefore transferring wealth to someone senior to them, paying more tax. That's money they could be saving for a deposit. All so that someone gets to keep their million pound house. A house that the 27 year old will never be able to own. And it wasn't down to hard work the house is worth £1m, it's because someone just sat in it for 30 years.
It's such a transparent means for protect the Tory electorate to the detriment of everyone else.
