Ep. 78 - The UK is heading back to the 1970s with the current Government - What side of history will you end up on?

Are We Heading Back to the 1970s?

In Episode 78, Amanda & Paul say what every landlord needs to hear right now, and what most people are scared to say!

Is the private rented sector on the brink of its biggest crisis in 50 years?  In this unmissable episode, Paul and Amanda go further than they've ever gone before — asking the questions nobody else in property is willing to say out loud.

From the spectre of 1970s-style economic carnage to AI job displacement, compulsory purchase orders, and Labour leadership scenarios, this is the episode that reframes everything you thought you knew about holding property in 2026.

In this episode we cover:

• 🔴 Why one finance commentator's comment about the Labour leadership race stopped Paul cold
• 🏚️ How the government is quietly conscripting private landlords into delivering a public service — without paying for it
• ⛏️ The Miner Question: if you'd bought property in the 1970s vs. trusted your union and your industry, where would you be today?
• 🤖 AI, job displacement and the direct threat to your tenant base and rental yields
• 📖 The Fourth Turning — why the chaos we're living through isn't random, and what history says comes next
• 📉 Paul's 1980s Put Contract story and what it teaches us about hedging your portfolio today
• 🗳️ Three political scenarios (Left, Centre, Right) and which one to actually plan for
• ✅ What landlords should do RIGHT NOW to protect their portfolios — practically, not theoretically

Whether you have 1 property or 100, this episode will challenge you to ask the one question that matters most: 50 years from now — which side of this decision do you want to have been on?
