SNP blame homeowners' misery on Tory Government crashing economy

- ANDREW QUINN

SCOTS are paying 50 per cent more in mortgage payments each month than they were 20 months ago, according to new analysis.

SNP-commissioned data showed the average person is paying £381 more per month than they were in November 2021.

This comes after the Bank of England raised interest rates to five per cent two weeks ago, leaving mortgage holders bracing for a big jump in monthly payments.

Tory Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also came under fire last week after he urged the public to “hold our nerve” over the increase in rates.
