The average #rent for a single room in the UK has just passed £700 a month!
As you might expect this rental #inflation is especially acute in the UK cities, with rises in Edinburgh (up 25%), Middlesbrough (21%) & Manchester (20%) the highest rises.
For non-mortgage house-owning older people, the #costoflivingcrisis is a survivable calamity (for the most part), but for everyone else, the problems of the UK economy are increasingly serious & unmanageable.
We are sinking beneath the waves!
