Where is this magical ‘higher disposable income’ coming from? How can it be considered ‘disposable’ if household debt is on the way up -this is a bizarre use of language and the notion of one commentator in the article saying it’s ‘difficult to read’ is equally bizarre and indicative of real-world-divorce-syndrome.

Then dwell on this: private house/flat rental increases, in this area (SE), are running at around 15%. With over 60% of private tenants moving every six months in my immediate locality. Of course this has little effect on the official inflation rate, but I suspect has a large effect on registered voters (but since they won’t be voting with the far right it does not matter?)
Bizarrely, single-bed houses, apart from being impossible to get, are now equal-rental with three-bed!
