Definitely, the current economic instability is causing a lot of concern. With factors like trade tensions and fluctuating markets, it's hard to predict what's coming next.

the pandemic has only exacerbated things. It's led to disruptions in supply chains and forced many businesses to shut down temporarily or even permanently.

That's true. And the ripple effects of these disruptions are felt worldwide. It's not just one country's problem; it affects everyone.

The massive government stimulus packages implemented to combat the pandemic's economic impact could have long-term consequences, like inflation.

Inflation is definitely a concern. It can erode people's purchasing power and make it harder for businesses to operate profitably.

@@piggerGg Not so . Ian Duncan Smith was given the job by Blair and Brown , and thus made the scape-goat . He eventually resigned in protest over how the disabled were indeed being treated . The true architects of clamping down on the incapacitated were Gordon Brown , T Blair , and that blind idiot whose name I have forgotten , ( still riding the gravy-train and then some ) ......... Incidentally , in the very same year Brown created a new benefit for mothers called ' working tax credits ' , although it didn't matter whether the mother's worked or not : £ 330 quids monthly for each and every child . Not bad unemployment if you can get it . It is interesting to note , the working tax credit thing appeared just at the time Brown's partner was having babies . I suspect the thinking behind clamping down on the disabled was that someone had gotta pay for the mummies : might as well be the disabled . Oh , yeah , that blind bloke's name was ' Blanket ' . A serious creep . Oh and I'm not disabled btw and never claimed benefits

Nope, as a private landlord, and someone that studied economics. I can say the following, the Bank of England is the biggest cause of misery, the BoE raises interest rates, so landlords pay more for their mortgage and pass on the cost to the renter. If the BoE didn’t raise interest rates I wouldn’t raise rent. If you can afford the rent that I am request, please evacuate the house and go to an affordable house, it’s the mentally of the free market.

Agreed. At least council housing is/was affordable but there wasn't enough replaced when they were sold off in the 1980s. The streets of London was the only place you would see homeless people st one time but now they seem to be even in the smallest of towns. Same with university grants which were modest compared to today's tuition fees that the taxpayers have to fork out for when those who choose to spend 3 years at uni end up flipping burgers at McDonald's

It's this attitude that caused the housing crisis in the first place. If you expect landlords to behave like charities, no-one will want to be one. There has to be something in it for landlords. That's how you get a rental market with available properties.
