UK inflation rises to highest since Oct 1981 at 11.1%
• Food & drink prices rise 16.4% y/y, biggest increase since 1977
• Inflation would've been around 13.8% but for the Energy Price Guarantee - Office for National Statistics (ONS)
• Inflation for low income households looks more like 11.9%
Some mordantly amusing timing - the Bank of England has just published its conditions for the 2022 stress test of banks.
