Reminder: the misleading reporting of inflation in the media continues.

1. Ignores the (higher) lead measure, and reports a (lower) secondary measure

2. Blames luxuries (air travel), ignoring necessities (food inflation is much higher than headline inflation)

Stop telling me changes is prices is inflation, it’s money printing plain and simple.

On the plus side, you can get 5.8% on the 30 year gilts. 🎉

Yes, but that is not the bureaucrats’ lead measure (4.2%), never mind the most fundamental measure (food 4.9%).
