UK Inflation Hits 3.3% as Fuel Prices Surge Amidst Geopolitical Tensions
UK inflation hits 3.3% in March. Fuel prices are the main reason. This affects shoppers and may impact interest rates.

UK inflation reached 3.3% in March, the highest in over three years, mainly because fuel prices went up a lot.

"UK's Purchasing Power Drops 41% Over Two Decades: Cost of Living and Lack of Investment to Blame" (January 2025)
https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/uks-purchasing-power-drops-41-over-two-decades-cost-living-lack-investment-blame-1730549Certainly feels like a lot more than "41% in two decades". In 2022 alone we saw the price of a number of everyday items go up anywhere between 20% and 50%, while packages shrank ("shrinkflation"), like e.g., butter as 200g instead of 250g, and yogurt reduce from 500g to 450g, and so many more.

Just had my home insurance renewal quote through from QuoteMeHappy.
Up 50% on last year (and an increase in compulsory excess)!2020 £56.65
2021 £62.08
2022 £64.48
2023 £82.89
2024 £124.98This is with 5 years no claims discount and no risk of flooding. Buildings only, no frills policy.
A comparison site search gives a best price of £124.34 from John Lewis Insurance. It's worth me switching due to much lower excess.

#UKInflation "down", driven by food. Really?
5% food inflation. How many had a 5% pay increase this past year? Still not good enough, still too much #Greedflation
Poor #BBCNews coverage talks to a street food vendor, but not the agribusiness raising his meat costs. Or, talks to a taxi owner, but nothing from the petrol and insurance companies driving up his costs.
