    Gay Mitchell attacks estate agents

    Gay Mitchell has hit out at estate agents and mortgage lenders for raising expectations of house price increases during the past year.
    He said that forecasts earlier this year that house prices would increase by as much as 10% have led to people taking out mortgages that they cannot now repay because of rising interest rates.
    "I think they've been serving their own interests, and I think that they've a lot to account for," he said.

    Normally I can't stand the wee nyaff, but fair play for being the first Irish politician to break ranks and tackle the wall of VI spin...

    Sorry, can't recall anyone called Gay Mitchell - probably just some bloke who hangs around Brussels or something, not really relevant back here anymore I'm sure.

    Well, I think he saw the way the wind was blowing. Better in Brussels than hanging around on the back-benches of the Opposition for another five years.
