Brexit added £210 to the average household food bill in the two years to the end of 2021, new research suggests.

--- Quote ---Soaring rents making life ‘unaffordable’ for private UK tenants, research shows
Exclusive: Findings come amid rising evictions, ‘price gouging’ claims and fears of homelessness emergency
Soaring rents have in effect made life unaffordable for private tenants across swathes of the UK, according to research undertaken for the Guardian.
The analysis shows asking rents on new listings are up by almost a third since 2019 – and some people are facing increases of up to 60%. Prices in 48 council areas are now classed by the Office for National Statistics as unaffordable when compared with average wages.
It comes amid warnings of a rising wave of evictions, allegations of “price gouging” by some landlords, and fears “the rental crisis is fast becoming a homelessness emergency”.
Michael Gove, the secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities, is facing growing calls to finally ban no-fault evictions, used by landlords seeking to raise rents, despite the government having pledged to do so since April 2019. Ministers also face demands to pay more in housing benefit to cover rising costs.
