Original Note:
Mortgage rates are affected mainly by the base rate, which is set by the independent Bank of England, not the Conservative Party. The base rate was raised to tackle high inflation, which occurred due to the war in Ukraine and the Covid pandemic https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/explainers/why-are-interest-rates-in-the-uk-going-up
