Back to the 50s — Is Britain stuck in a time warp?

Living standards are falling to the lowest standards since the 1950s, so why is this government shouting about the so-called success it’s had? Plus, we need to build more homes - pure and simple. But how, and how can it be done? Hannah Fearn has 4 points Labour needs to hit if it gets into government.

• “This politics of nostalgia pretends that it can fix problems by going back to times before they existed.” – Tom Peck.
• “We have moved on, we just have a government that’s going nuts because it’s near the end.” – Andrew Harrison.
• “‘You could leave your door open’, well yeah, because there was nothing to steal!” – Matt Green.
• “I die whenever I hear politicians talk about housing, because you know nothing’s ever going to happen.” – Tom Peck.
