I have to say I am absolutely astonished.

Who would have thought inflation would rise. After all, all people have had to deal with is increased charges for water (Average 26%), Gas (12.2%), Electricity (4.6%).

All that employers had to deal with is an increase in the minimum wage (6.7% for adults, 16% for 18-20 year olds). And the small matter of increased Employers' NI Contributions (36.7%, provided they are not given a pay rise). And increased business rates. And increased energy and water bills. 

The Core CPI measure (which came in at 3.8%) conveniently does not include food or energy costs. The real rate of inflation for the few people who have to buy food and pay for energy is much higher than that.
