Two men live in Zone 2 London. Both are around 30. Both sleep in a one-bed flat. But only one believes he has a future in the city. James was born in London. He went to university, got a degree, found a decent job and now works at a marketing firm near Old Street. He earns just under £60,000 a year. On paper, he is doing well. But every month James opens his payslip and watches a third of it vanish before he ever sees it. Income tax.National Insurance.Student loan.Then comes the rent. Nearly £2,000 a month for a small one-bed flat with mould around the windows and a landlord who only renews the tenancy six months at a time. Every evening James scrolls Rightmove looking at tiny flats he cannot afford in the city he grew up in. Even the cheapest one-beds near him now cost around £400,000. The deposit alone feels impossible despite earning more than most people in Britain. His parents bought their first home younger than he is now. James still does not know if he will ever own one. So he keeps renting.Keeps waiting. He watches friends delay children. People earning what used to be considered “good money” still checking every direct debit before payday. Now meet Shaheed. He arrived in Britain recently and was granted refugee status. He does not work. He lives in a one-bed flat in East London. His housing costs and council tax are largely covered through the welfare system. He qualifies for free prescriptions, dental treatment and eye tests. He does not spend his evenings worrying whether the next rent rise will wipe out what little he has left at the end of the month. And this is the part driving so much public anger. James works full time, pays a fortune in tax and still cannot see a long-term future in the city he was born in. Shaheed does not work, yet has more housing security than the man whose taxes help fund the system. That is how a city loses its young people, because they stop believing hard work leads anywhere. London has to become a city where the people who work, contribute and build lives here can realistically afford homes, raise families and feel secure again.

"We asked 48m voters, what would win the Red Wall back for Labour?" "You said... rejoin the EU, bring in digital ID, abolish jury trials, scrap North Sea oil, do nothing on immigration and appoint Gordon Brown." "If it's up there, I'll give you the money myself." #Starmergeddon

Seriously that is never a handball at Fir Park. The boy headed it 20 yards. The ref takes one look after VAR calls him over. Embarrassing for Scottish football.

As an MP, I will not comply with Digital ID. I just won't do it, and I hope many millions of British men and women will join me. Send a message to Starmer - share this graphic absolutely everywhere. I will not comply with Digital ID.

@broc73271 He got approx 64% of the seats, a majority of around 174 SNP got approx 80% of the seats, in the FPTP section we can compare with him, but no majority because the region seats are decided by PR

Labour is meeting the widespread demand for action on the UK steel industry. But it won't be popular because people don't understand why this is so expensive and will still employ so few people. This is the modern world. politico.eu/article/bill-n…

John Swinney says people should move on from the politics of the troubles at a press call at Bannockburn where several toothless pensioners from Fife are reenacting the battle. One has had to lie down as his COPD is playing up.

What a ridiculous fancy dress parade the State Opening of the Westminster parliament is. Poppycock rather than pageantry.

If London refuses #IndyRef2, then the SNP should pull the Scottish Assembly down call an election and secure an SNP majority. They should continue to do this until a referendum is called.
