This isn't just good leaflet copy, this is why politics matters and different parties aren't all "just the same". Here's a collection of similarly devastating graphs 🧵 (1/11)

NEW: we don’t reflect enough on how severe the housing crisis is, and how it has completely broken the promise society made to young adults. The situation is especially severe in the UK, where the last time house prices were this unaffordable was in ... 1876.

The UK has the highest retirement age in the world, the lowest pension in Europe, the longest working hours in Europe, one of the lowest minimum wages, the highest energy costs, the biggest profits, and the lowest taxes for the richest. It all needs to change.

Rishi Sunak has just published his tax return. He earned over £2.2 MILLION last year. But he paid just 23% in tax. That's the same rate of tax a teacher pays. Our tax system is rigged in favour of the super-rich. It's time to make them pay their fair share!

Tesco announced profits up by 160% to £2.3b. British Gas announce record profits of £1B. Both drivers of poverty are 'partners' with The Trussell Trust who employed McKinsey in 2010 to scale up to a food bank in every town to meet the demand of Tory austerity. Do you see it?

First you do a year's unpaid national service, then you accumulate £60,000 of student debt, then spend a few decades handing over half your pay packet to a landlord before retiring on the worst state pension in Europe. That's the Tories' 'retail offer' to young voters.

Private school is around 10 THOUSAND A TERM. You CANNOT "make a few sacrifices"/"work hard" and have a spare THIRTY THOUSAND A YEAR <per child!> It is a complete myth and I cannot stand to hear it ONE MORE TIME. It's not "normal families working hard" and "prioritising education"
