a good example of this is that houses in London and SE will become worthless so don't bother to buy there.
I dont think so some locations will buck the average trend. If the UK had seen zero population growth over the last 10 years it would not have been zero in every region. The north, wales, scotland would probably have seen declines while London would have seen population growth.
Looking far into the future 50-100 years from now. I think it is possible that much of the north and midlands and wales could be 'worthless' just like stoke-on-trent (£83k) or middlesbruogh (£80k) are going towards 'worthless' today.0 -

Really?!? Where do you think the projected 30 million extra people in the UK will be living in 100 years time if not in the North, Midlands or Wales? (Serious question, not a dig.)Every generation blames the one before...

there is also another factor, the price of capital is crashing and will continue to do so as women have <2 children and the savings rate is still positive. you wont understand any of that but what it means is that the economy is and will much more in the future make capital worthless so those who have not much capital and buy a lot of it with their labour in the coming decades
implies that property everywhere will become either very cheap or worthless0 -

Labour is 99 seats behind the Tories now and needs to gain 117 or so to gain a majority after boundary changes. If it retakes every SNP seat or goes into coalition with the SNP (the prospect of which lost Labour many seats in 2015), then it still needs to take 50 to 60 English seats from the Tories. The 60th most vulnerable English Tory seat has something like a 20+ point Tory majority over Labour, and there is simply no message from Corbyn that's going to convert all those Tories into Labour voters. These are seats that even Blair couldn't win. Any votes Labour gains from having a loony for leader will be in seats it already holds.
There is no way back for Labour in 2020 or in 2025. By 2030 this will a dead issue and one of those on which people wonder why there was ever any debate, in the same way that nobody can remember now why CND ever existed.
The Tories have a majority of 12. A swing away from The Tories could quite easily bring about another coalition. The Tories don't have 2020 in the bag my friend.Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.0 -

They do.
Labour have ingloriously bathed themselves in idiocy for everyone to see.
They won't come back from this without a colossal mess by the Tories, something along the lines of what we see in Labour now, only worse.0 -

We shall see. 3 and a half years to go. May is in the honeymoon period. She is taking on the medical establishment, the educational establishment and she hasn't even started to Brexit.
Watch this space.
There is still plenty of time for her to end up as one of the most hated politicians of all time.A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

Which would probably mean she was one of the best PMs of all time; making the difficult decisions that so many of her predecessors were too weak to take.Every generation blames the one before...
