The lack of a decent minimum wage and lack of strong unions are the cause of depressed wages.
Successive governments not prioritising house building and actively stoking a housing bubble (tax relief for buy to let investors, Help to buy) is the main cause of high house prices and high rents.
Blaming immigration for low wages is a common misconception, but blaming them for high house prices and crowded roads and trains is taking it a bit far. Just anti-immigrant propaganda.
