In recent years, there has been a significant real-terms fall in the value of millions of homes, caused by a stagnant property market in the face of high inflation. House prices grew just 1pc in the year to March, according to Rightmove. With a headline inflation rate of 3pc, this marks a notable decline in real house prices.

On the surface, this might look like bad news for first-time buyers, who suddenly face much steeper tax bills to purchase a home worth more than £300,000. But ultimately, this harms all homeowners, who face dented demand and a buyers' market. Labour wins doubly from this.

I saw the Tesla slump coming, but I'm not falling for another 'generational fumble'Success in the stock market requires a great deal of thought, analysis, insight, research, and then a bit more thought for good measure. At least that is what we are led to believe. In reality, investors can be punished for thinking a little too hard. Due diligence can stretch from hours into months, with um-ing and ah-ing costing sidelined investors significant gains time and time again.
