The average rate for a two-year fixed-rate mortgage is 6.66 per cent, up from 6.52 per cent on Monday last week.

Mortgage rates could be 10,000% and the sun could be about to burn out and expand to consume our galaxy, but the ESPC would still find a way to place a positive spin on the situation and assure everybody that Edinburgh will "buck the trend" of stagnant property prices and solar death.

Looks like that £50 billion of secret government aid to the banks hasn't done much good. How much more taxpayers' money are the banks going to demand to patch up the holes in their funds created by their own reckless business strategies? £100 billion? £500 billion? £1 trillion? Got to keep those big bonuses for the guys in charge no matter what.

The banks haven't accessed any of that £50bn, yet! Many banks never will, because the money is too expensive.
