Not surprising at all. The overall quality of life for genz and gena is racing backwards. By the time they graduate they will be £60k in debt to student loans, living with their parents until their mid 40’s and never having a family.
After all that hard work done by recent governments and we’re *still* not bottom? Come on Starmer, do better.

Yeah, it’s almost as if successive governments have abandoned 50% of them and the new one thinks that showing them a television show will fix that.
The old are eating the young. Look at how money for young people in the form of the Education budget, youth and community services, has been gutted over the last fifteen years, and money for the old, in terms of pensions and health spending has ballooned.
I wonder if this has any correlation between adult well-being and happiness.
If parents are struggling, this could filter down to children.
They can’t vote so MPs will do nothing.
Everything in the UK must be sacrificed for the sake of Boomers. Imagine if we spent a fraction of money on children as we did the Triple Lock, NHS and Care.
