Inflation rose to 3.8% in the year to July. Highest since Jan 24 (@ONS data). Helen Dickinson of @the_brc told @BBCRadio4 that around 100,000 retail jobs have been lost in the last 12 months. How is your #smallbusiness coping with rising costs and less consumer spending power?
UK Food prices alone have increased by around 40% over the past five years - how are small businesses meant to cope with increased costs and reduced spending power of consumers? Cutting costs only goes so far and putting prices up can deter even more customers even.
Inflation makes surprise jump to 3.8% – how significant is it?

Extraordinary tiresome nonsense spouted about Net Zero being responsible for high UK electricity prices.
Nope. It’s gas.
Brilliant piece in the Britain section this week by @ArchieHall, which engages with one of the most important questions in the UK right now - why are electricity prices so ruinously high?

New from me in @NewStatesman: how the Greens under Zack Polanski can win over Labour’s urban heartlands, and how “eco-populism” can be the glue that holds a new left coalition together. (Link to article below.)

Yesterday’s Spending Review is another example of how the government is trying to muddle on through, leaving core services like social care underfunded, the wealth of the rich undertaxed, and millions of us exposed to worsening instability and insecurity. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/06/thi…
