"The Big Squeeze" is the Metro's headline. The paper says that rising interest rates mean people with £200,000 mortgages could be facing an extra £50 on their monthly payments as well as facing rising costs on food and energy.The i uses the same headline alongside a striking graphic which shows the rising inflation rates. The paper says a leading economist has declared it the "worst day for the British economy in my lifetime".
