Exploring the Cost of Living Crisis: Council Tax, Rising Prices, and Wages EP28

In this video, Angie and Mike discuss the cost of living crisis and the impact it's having on people's daily lives. They discuss the recent council tax increases and how the government is allowing councils to increase it to a maximum of 4.9% due to the adult social care bill. They also touch on the rising mortgage and rent costs, gas and electric prices, and the shortage of food in supermarkets. The conversation leads to a discussion about whether people have become accustomed to living beyond their means and whether businesses can afford to keep up with the rising costs. Angie and Mike share their own personal experiences and perspectives on the topic, providing insights into the cost of living crisis and its effects on everyday people.#costofliving #prices #energycosts #utilitybills #costoflivingcrisis #crisis #money #council #government
