The Inflation rate used to be directly linked to soaring house prices and spiralling wage demands. But it is now rising despite both those items flatlining. Clearly the criteria used to measure the inflation rate has changed. So the answer must be to simply measure the inflation rate against items that are decreasing in value and hey presto....fixed!

Boomed again!!

This Chancellor lark is a dawdle.

WHS

People borrowed when interest rates were 5%+, they should be glad interest rates don't go up to 10%.

No they don't.

People will just be buying less stuff than they did before. Companies supplying goods or services that are discretionary will go out of business.

Does this mean the real inflation rate is in 3 figures now?

I've just bought a budget camera for £20 more than it cost 6 months ago, and as it turned out this 1 year old camera was the best model I could find for a budget price.
