El Cid Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Misinformation from our own Government! They use the measure of inflation(consumer price index CPI) which is lower than the retail price index(RPI) partly because it does not include housing costs. So the CPI inflation figure is best used when discussing rising costs that apply to the homeless. So when local councils increased their council tax in 2020/21 and the Government were saying that inflation was around 1%, it did not include the 5% council tax increase and the cost of rising rents.

(Does she really have a secret "thing" for him?) Trastrick 41 posts about Trump this year. Annie Bynnol 20 posts in reply to Trump propaganda. If I have an obsession it is with "misinformation" and its use by the far-right and Conspiracy Theorist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can it as the increases in CT are down to the individual Local Authorities who are also responsible for setting rents as well which vary by area. Incidentally CPI is used to establish a limit on annual rent increases on social housing. What was that about misinformation....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONS manage to record food price increases, despite the numerous shops and other retailers. There is a separate inflation measure for output prices , the producer price index is currently 9.3% I am not an expert on inflation like you, but I am guessing that retail prices will follow the PPI? https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/bulletins/producerpriceinflation/december2021includingservicesoctobertodecember2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I must have missed your sterling dismissal of the 5 year "Trump Russia Collusion Hoax Conspiracy Theory", which is now the subject of a current Criminal Investigation.

Here's an on topic post about the demise of a once powerful major disseminator of anti-Trump conspiracy theories. The Hill CNN's Collapse is now Complete " Ratings fell 90 percent overall when comparing January 2021 to January 2022. That’s hard to do". https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/592969-cnns-collapse-is-now-complete CNN have always been an inside joke. Turns out the Trump haters are corrupt too!
