Britain has given up on its young, and they’re right to be angry. Opinion piece for LBC

In her latest opinion piece for LBC, Michelle calls out the quiet crisis facing Britain’s younger generation – a growing sense of frustration and loss of hope.

She highlights how under-35s are being priced out not just of the housing market, but of stability itself: trapped in expensive rentals, unable to save for deposits, and squeezed by rising living costs and stagnant wages.

Drawing on her experience as a property and finance expert, Michelle argues that government policy is failing to match the reality of modern life. She calls for radical reform, from unlocking affordable housing and turning rent into credit history, to overhauling childcare and investing in entrepreneurship.

Her message is clear: this generation isn’t entitled – it’s ambitious, hard-working, and desperate for change. Without bold action, Britain risks losing not just a generation of homeowners, but a generation of hope.
