I see that the government claims that inflation is down to 2.3% this morning

Convenient - for the next election ?

Sorry - but frankly I don't believe it - everything is STILL going up at alarming rates ?

    I don't find the inflation figures relevant to lots of disabled/unemployed people anyway

    The inflation figures include things like transport/fuel and holidays, which have been inflating less

    Not really relevant if you don't have a car or don't go on holiday every year

    Things like domestic bills and food have been going up more so people who spend a higher share of their income on those (like unemployed/disabled people) experience a higher rate of "personal inflation"

    Would like a cheaper shopping bill. Especially the gluten free bread and lactose free products. But in general lots of food prices are getting ridiculous.
