UK: Average two-year fixed-rate mortgage hits 6% for first time since 2008

TWO-YEAR isn't 'fixed' ! ! !  I assume Brits without frontal lobes signed up for these for low monthly payments?  Or, are longer term fixed mortgages not available?  15- & 30-year fixed are the common ones offered in the US.

Nice overview here but misses the craziness that's happened the past few weeks or so https://www.statista.com/statistics/386301/uk-average-mortgage-interest-rates/

I was due for renewal, Had a 3.5% 5 yr fixed offered by existing lender, 2 weeks later it was 4%, now the offer is 4.5% - in the space of 3 weeks. There are 10 yr and greater ones available in the 4% range.

Jumped on a 30 year, 0.5% fixed rate last year. Pretty happy with that.
Here the 6% fixed 30 year has just opened.
