MPs Wants Rise In The House Market
“NEGATIVE EQUITY THREAT TO 3M HOMES,” says the Mail’s front-page headline.
Says the Mirror: “A mortgage famine is on the cards as more banks follow First Direct’s decision to slam the door on new borrowers. Experts fear we could be heading back to the bad old days of mortgage rationing as the worldwide credit crunch tightens.”
Says the Expres on its front page: “NOW MPS WANTS £23,000 PAY RISE.”
MPs are “accsued of lining their pockets.”
Only: “They want the astonishing sum to replace their lavish second-home allowamnces of up to £22,100.”
So the politicos want to do up their homes rather than move? Given the economic climate, this seems entirely reasonable…
