Rising inflation underlines scale of Andy Burnham’s cost of living challenge
PM’s plan to shield households from more pressure risks being overwhelmed by wider price rises
July’s increase in inflation, to 2.9%, is likely to be the first of several, underlining the challenge facing Andy Burnham in shielding consumers from a fresh cost of living squeeze this autumn.
