Summary: The video discusses the rising cost of living in the UK over the past 14 years, from 2010 to 2024. People in the video express their shock at how expensive everyday items and services have become.

The video opens with a discussion about the price of a pint. In 2010, the average cost of a pint was £2.81, whereas in 2024, it is estimated to be around £7. People in the video attribute the rise in pub closures to the increased cost of beer.

Housing is another topic covered in the video. The average house deposit in the UK in 2010 was £28,770. In 2024, it is estimated to be around £85,53k. People in the video claim that it is nearly impossible for young people to save up for a house on their own. The rent situation is similar. The average rent for a room in London in 2010 was £536. In 2024, it is estimated to be £995.

The rising cost of living also affects healthcare. In 2010, there were 2.34 million people on the NHS waiting list. In 2024, that number has grown to 6.29 million. People in the video express their fear of needing medical attention because of the long wait times.

Another point discussed in the video is the number of children living in poverty. In 2010, there were 3.6 million children living in poverty. In 2024, that number is estimated to be 4.3 million. People in the video blame the government for these issues. They argue that the government is prioritizing funding the military over social services.
