    Two of the most inflated costs are food and energy. Essentials that demand cannot be reduced beyond a certain point without people dying.

    Food is a consequence of Brexit and the increasing cost of importing, energy is a consequence of all energy prices being artificially high due to the price of gas.

    There are ways to fix both of those, but they aren’t popular with Tories.

      Core inflation strips out food and energy and is going up in the Uk and down pretty much everywhere else.
