UK inflation falls in June but analysts warn of future rise

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Most City analysts and the Bank itself expect price growth to creep back towards three per cent later this year, as reported by City AM. Business tax increases following Rachel Reeves' debut Budget, combined with disruption to vital oil trade flows caused by the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz amid the Iran conflict, have unsettled the UK economy and left households vulnerable to steeper price rises.
45% : Since Andy Burnham entered Downing Street with John Healey serving as Chancellor, ministers have been pushing to "reprioritise" public spending in order to ease cost of living pressures.
43% : Darren Jones, who served as Sir Keir Starmer's chief secretary, took aim at Burnham for claiming that scrapping the digital ID scheme would foot the bill for the energy tax cut.
