Responding to today’s increase in inflation, Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said:

“Today’s uptick in inflation looks like it is just the beginning. Before the war in Iran, workers were already forecast to get poorer. The outlook is now looking increasingly bleak.

“Workers must not pay the price yet again, for a crisis not of their making. As a minimum the government must take decisive action on soaring energy bills.”
