Not sure I care anymore. The UK is for the wealthy only and we can only try to struggle through, whether it’s through inflation, poorer services or more tax. Until we address the power dynamics, wealth inequality and tax havens (City of London, Jersey, Guernsey, etc), I could nor give a flying fuck what inflation is quarter to quarter. Prices and housing costs are already fucked
The reason things feel bad at the moment is in large part because of 3-4 years of sustained high inflation. That’s why everything seems expensive. A few years of low inflation and productivity and wage increases, could get us back on track.
