We’ve never had it so bad! Bank of England chief warns of biggest income squeeze on families since the 1920s

  • Wages in 2011 to be no higher than in 2005
  • As household bills rocketed, average salary rose by just 7.6% since 2007
  • Cost of living ‘likely’ to keep on rising this year
  • King: ‘Bank of England can’t wave a magic wand’
