Happy Friday!

It’s the end of August and there is a surprising amount of news for the silly season. Although, I seem to be all about housing and cost of living this week:

Inverclyde named most affordable place to buy a home in Great Britain. So move to Scotland?

Third of working tenants in England ‘lack savings to pay rent if they lose job’

Energy bills: 13m British homes ‘did not turn on heating when cold last winter’. It’s beginning to feel more and more like Victorian England, maybe that’s the plan to bring back the workhouse?

‘We have brothers, sons, lovers – but they can’t live here!’ The happy home shared by 26 women

This horror story visited on South Wales by Suella Braverman could be coming to a street near you

A letter has laid bare the scale of poverty in Britain – but will Rishi Sunak be moved?. Probably not but £37 a week for food. I remember doing it for £15, which would be impossible now.
