| "As a buy-to-letter, it's sickening that I have to compete with all these first-time buyers snapping up the most affordable flats. We can hardly afford our holiday homes!" | |

| The PM responded "It's OK. I said 'affordable', not 'cheaper'. The young will still be ripped off just the same, but over a longer period of time! Don't tell them!" | |
