The mortgage scandal lays bare the destruction that the Tories have wreaked on the economy. The figures are shocking.
They show that hard-working Scots have been paying hundreds of pounds a month more because of the UK Government’s failure to reduce inflation. Renters have been hit by massive rises, with those on mortgages overwhelmed by increasing interest rates.
The average mortgage holder is paying almost £400 more a month than they were in November 2021 – and there’s every chance the situation will only get worse. Many people are only just able to afford their mortgage and have been struggling to make ends meet because of the increases.
