Double digits in many sectors and for the lower quartile. And the ride is far from over.

Up she goes.

Who’s surprised? DonMt see any exclamations!

I called it last month (though thought it would be nearer 10%). Figuring close to 11% by next month.

You’re projecting/assuming a hell of a lot in response to a simple post about a number.

there is no surprise when everybody was warned back in 2015/16 that this would be the outcome .... expect this to last for several decades according to conservative and unionist party experts of the ERG

Of course. How else are carbon emission targets going to be met!

It is going to be a bumpy year to say the least. I see petrol is edging up at the pumps again (not that it came down much). Another energy cap rise in the autumn still to come as well. It seems to be happening the world over so could go on for a while

the fact that demand has dropped for energy shows that the conservative and unionist party's assertions that market forces drive prices down is either untruthful or someone is fiddling the market. in which case the conservative and unionist government need to act swiftly either way instead of continuing to dither.

Yes in the case of people who had spare cash they are foolish but those who didn’t were surviving and perhaps hoping the fact their houses were rocketing in value should help them one day.

If you remember the Bank of England dropped the rates to encourage people to spend after the financial crash. Savings with low rates couldn’t hope to keep up with property values so people took out mortgages to invest in the ever booming house prices.

Until we build houses at a rate needed they will always be too expensive compared to incomes.

So yes the government encouraged the people to spend and buy property they couldn’t afford. So even less effort from the government was put into more house building and encouraging provision for pensions or rainy days.

The country is run by self serving people year after year. 25% of Tory party funding is from property developers . Blair in his time didn’t change the property situation much either. He was seduced by the money eventually just as they all are.

The problem with investing in property is if you live in it you can’t go down to Tesco’s and buy the weekly shop with a brick from your house no matter how much you think it’s worth.

Got an email from a bespoke furniture maker recently encouraging early orders as they are pushing prices up 15 to 20% next month.
