Britain has the highest cost of living in the Western world, it is claimed today.
A Middle Britain family’s annual bills for a home, food and other essentials – estimated by a firm of international economists – total £38,880.
This figure has leapt by more than £2,000 a year compared with calculations made four months ago by the same experts.
