still higher than US/EU but at least we are catching up
Good news and a bit better than expected too.
PMQs should be spicy today. On one hand you will have the PM saying how he has met his promise of halving inflation this year and on the other side they will be going on about sacking Suella and how they can’t question Cameron.

You mean energy prices have stabilised at an eye watering rate considering wholesale energy price are nearly the same as pre Ukraine invasion!? OFGEM really need to do some actual regulating soon
GDP flat and GDP per capita negative. Prices schmices it’s still crap
All this is saying is that prices are still going up by nearly 5%.
That’s interesting, I must tell my landlord who is raising the rent by 17% for the second year in a row.
This means that we will all be richer now! God bless the Tories.
…right?
Just in time for the budget next week.
I guess their move is
They will announce cut or abolishment of inheritance tax.
Increase in personal tax allowance in April.
Cut/ reduce stamp duty to hold house prices.
Minimum wage goes up a 10% in April.
Call election for May with people seeing a nice bump in their last pay check, take credit. Then hope it is enough to get reelected?
wft is this bull shit. energy cost have not gone down AND DONT ACT LIKE THEY HAVE DONE c*nts
inb4 “So how come evryfink is still going up innit?”
The only thing that has tumbled is my bank account and quality of life
Inflation goes up ‘external factors, nothing to do with government policy, out of our control’…Inflation figures lower (but not core Inflation) ‘ yea, great success due to our policies’.
It’s pure satire…
🤦♂️
Great news for those worried about the cozzie livs x
“Er, er, does this mean er, er, my energy bills will now be lower, and I can afford to put my heating on this winter?” dear old Mrs Grimsdale enquires ever so sweetly.
“No Mrs Grimsdale, it means your bills will be higher than they are now, but by not quite as much as they would have been” replies Mrs Grimsdales kindly neighbour dear old Sid.
“Then FUCK THE TORIES” responds dear old Mrs Grimsdale, whilst slaming the front door into kindly neighbour dear old Sids face. Breaking kindly neighbour dear old Sids nose in the process
In the last few days im noticing a LOT of people suddenly jumpinv on this “Inflation is down, everything is fine” band-wagon, all completely forgetting that people can still physically see that the price of everything is still going up.
People are still being shafted hard, you cant out-statistic that
Now imagine if Corbyn and Diane Abbott were running the country lmao, inflation would be over 20%
With my pay rise at 2% just wanted to let everyone know I’m doing my part to keep inflation down
Man I hate these disingenuous bullshit headlines, we still have a new higher price floor for most things, woohoo the price increases are slowing… Ever going back down?
OFGEM = Useless pile of shit organisation parading around as regulators
Oh no, how will retailers be able to justify 15% price increases now?
These “positive articles” on inflation can suck my left testicle…
Most groceries are still 200% of what they were before and as many people have pointed out wholesale energy prices are now back down to pre Russia/Ukraine levels yet these huge energy companies are still rinsing our bank accounts…
Never in my life would I have thought I’d be wishing for petrol to return to 115p – 120p per liter
O YAY so i will only be in a slightly worse of position going forward. Damage done Tories .
My bills are still double what they were in 2020. Lot of pish.
The bbc running with the idea that Sunak has ‘acheived’ his target of halving inflation.
Quite apart from the fact his government has done nothing to achieve this, it’s an incredible acceptance of cynical goal post moving – the ‘target’ is not to get to 4.6% inflation, it’s to get to 2% inflation. That’s literally what the bank of england are tasked with.
Still above my promised pay increase this year of 4.5% (which I have yet to recieve). Not a good year for civil service wages.
Prices are still rising at a time when everywhere is cutting prices for the pre Christmas sales, so this headline along with the inflation figure are absolute nonsense
