[Hymie]

If we were using the RPI figure, it would be 13.6%.

Are we to shoot all messengers, Stableford?

[bobbinwales]

Disagree Stableford. Yours may be removed. Would be good to see a link from hymie though....but not a Phil youtube clip

[THECORBYLOON]

The latest CPI and RPI figures are 7.9% and 11.3% respectively.

Those figures are for the year ending May this year and they were released in June.

The next release date is next Wednesday.

Can be expected when recent world events has cost dearly, folk aren't willing or able to ride the austerity years and demand pay proportionate to the new prices. It's going to take some time to settle. But there are plenty of other priorities, such as telling the WHO and WEF where they can get off, and finding the guts to tell the ECHR the same, plus securing our southern border. And that doesn't count the actions needed to please the electorate before the next GE.

[Old_Geezer]

You have to roll it into a tube first.

Why do you come on here to try and bring everybody's mood down Hymie? You seem to relish bringing what you perceive to be bad news.

I am very disappointed. I thought this might be about something nice. Oh well.
