COST OF LIVING SOARS BY 11.5% (UK)

http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/43031

FAMILIES have suffered an 11.5 per cent rise in the cost of living over the past year, the Daily Express can reveal today.

For a family on an annual household budget of £10,000, this is an increase of £1,152. The true extent of the crippling effect of price rises, soaring mortgage bills and the suffocating tax burden has been laid bare by this newspaper’s essential Cost of Living Index.

The figures confirm that Britain is now facing the most savage inflation for a generation. Full details of the economic woe are confirmed as voters go to the polls today in the first opportunity to deliver a verdict on Gordon Brown’s premiership.

Lovin that "global economy"
