- Description
- In this second episode, key figures from government, finance and campaigning reveal the scale of the crisis Britain is in - and whose decisions led it here. In an ugly Brexit vote, both sides try and capitalise on housing, while campaigners fear plans for a mass sell-off of social housing could be catastrophic. A succession of scandals break around new-build homes and shocking conditions in the social sector. Then, political and economic turmoil sends interest rates soaring - and now, not even the home ownership promised by politicians feels secure anymore.
